The Life of Brian (In the Now)

I love to journal by telling stories. What’s going on in the life of Brian, in the now.

Stuff happens that I may just feel a need to interrupt my usual memoir-writing activity, that is this blog’s primary function. I share those stories here.

4/16/19: Shadow Crossings Revisited

The mind makes every attempt at compensation for loss Even when understandable expected or necessary All available tools at hand are employed Awakened (as usual) by the jungle residual jumble Images exactly as from a dream bring some semblance of solace While consciousness considers the seamless transition brought by clarity and faith Her presence somehow [...]
