The Story
I will not by my life be floored When I may take it on the chin Stagger till my balance restored Stand up straight and tall again Wait, could it be that I am lost Upright, walking a wrong trail Perhaps not wrong, what a cost Timid, will I succeed, will I fail But all […]
All Your Wending Way
As the best laid plans life often changes Nothing bad or good, simply life’s tune It draws some people close or estranges No difference betwixt too late, too soon Neither will fit exactly right, so it seems While one offers visions and one echoes Driven by your conscious hopes, dreams Be aware, it may open […]
What Do We Fear?
4 Questions Concerning the Fate of Humanity It is not a question of who we have been or even who we are now. It’s a question of who we become. More importantly, it’s whether we choose or whether we continue to embrace the pain and chaos we manifest and appear to revel in, in our […]

How Now
