I love a rainy day
On more than one of my “favorite days” on the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) it was raining. On one particular day in the Smokies I was able to fully understand why they jokingly refer to it as the Soakies. Take any chance of avoiding puddles or mud away and just embrace the suck. Not everyone at…

Sides
Apparently they want us to start picking teams again. It’s getting easier and easier for me to see that neither “side” politically gives a damn about the people. With the extremes on either side getting louder and louder it seems likely to get worse before it gets better. I pray I am wrong, And allow…

Baby it’s cold outside
As someone who lives with depression I can say that I feel this divide between myself and others. I have good friends, ones I spend a lot of time with and real effort into being close to, but there is a void. Please sir, before you start down your God shaped hole theory, consider the…

Hard time(s)
I truly do love this life, even if some of the times have been pretty hard. Today is pretty hard. This pain is particularly hard because it is not really mine to own, I had to see a loved one off to prison today. It is a sympathetic pain for them, they are facing the…

What’s in a month?

Working, all the livelong day
I started my “work” a little later in life around 40, before then I was in what could best be described as “autopilot”. It wasn’t that I was never really present, to me it seems like I was hyper aware of the here and now and couldn’t understand why everyone else was always up in…

As you wish
When I am at my healthiest, I try to fight against my natural urge to turn on the TV, to find some show to binge. I tell myself things like you’ve done enough thinking for the day, why not just turn on the tv and be entertained for a few hours. My mind usually reminds…

The List (part 2)
What does Love Look like? I look for Love in all its forms, kind of study it to see how it’s made and who gets to experience it, mostly because I really want to experience it. I started realizing how much Love had been shown to me by God and my Grandma a little late.…

A novel idea
I have a few ideas rattling around for things I want to create, some of them are for growth, many are just because I have the ideas. I love the process of taking an idea and turning it into something real, a physical manifestation of a thought. One of those ideas is doing an open…

A Secret Mission
No shit, there I stood, buck ass naked in the battle of Thisdum Lai. This won’t be about that kind of secret mission, rather a mission that I would like to be on, or have been on without telling anyone. I suppose the only difference is solely in my head. It has to do with…
