I am serving up a little vitriolic monologue today. “Dirt” bags come in many forms, and not all are attached to vacuum cleaners. Rep. Nunes certainly has earned the Dirt-Bag Award of the Year, so far. An informed observer might think that Devin Nunes himself is colluding with the Read more…
Please Ignore, if you must, listen with your heart, if you can trust! Our POTU$ has unleashed more hatred and anxiety than any president in recent memory. Congratulations to the Commander of Thieves (oops, I think that I mean Commander-in-Chief). TREASON: Trump Related Extreme Anxiety Stalks Our Nation Read more…

WAKE UP!!” ? This is John Lennon’s equivalent in song, without the sales pitch to buy Read more…
I was asked on my birthday in 2017 what my most “memorable” birthday was, and here, to the best of my recollection, is an account of the near death experience.. I was 21 years old, and my best friend at that time, Dan Dietz (RIP), and John Durkin, went Read more…
We visited Mom and Dad’s grave site today for the first time since dad’s death. (Rocky and Peaches are buried with them, too). One of Dad’s favorite expressions about people who get ignored, rejected or neglected was that “he got the bum’s rush”. His dementia in the last years of Read more…
I am deeply disturbed by the present developments within our shared world, within my individual and our collective human consciousness, and the points of connection between the self and other, through language, religion, and philosophies that create oppression, repression, and personal and social disease. Starting within myself, I have seen Read more…
Brain Damage (Written by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd) The lunatic is on the grass. The lunatic is on the grass. Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs. Got to keep the loonies on the path. The lunatic is in the hall. The lunatics are in my hall. Read more…

Throwing A Blanket Around The Moment, And Walking Away, As a baby, my parents placed a blanket around my baby body, and deposited me in a car in their garage so that my father could get at least 5 hours of sleep a night. Crying babies and sleep do not Read more…
Notes to myself Trump, and the NRA’s ideas around guns, are filled with holes, BULLET HOLES. I have written extensively about Toxic Masculinity, and there is a direct relationship between the damaged American Male, and the incidence of gun marketing, distribution, sales, use, murder and terrorism within our country.

There are those purporting to be “spiritual teachers” and advisors, who are admonishing their followers to abhor using human emotions with their dealings with the public. Specifically, I am frequently hearing that a “requirement for maintaining spiritual integrity” is to NOT EXPRESS ANGER, in any form, and instead to substitute Read more…
Many types of “knowledge” actually breed division and separation between human beings. It is easy to tell the difference between the teachers just by feeling within our own inner chambers of consciousness how their message impacts our hearts. Eventually the teacher presenting the highest learned “truths” of the day will Read more…
As I read, and hear about, the early death syndrome of the White American male, which may yet still capture me, I now know that our spiritual and economic systems are flirting with catastrophic collapse. For me, I layered myself with all manners of philosophies that suggested that I should Read more…

If it weren’t for the incredible spiritual strength, and wisdom, of my life partner, Sharon White, I would not have been able to have, what some people call, the following “cathartic event”. It was on a Thursday morning in February, and I was preparing to go to the Pilates Read more…
Why Facebook? It all started rather subtly when people began to substitute email connections and the photographic attachments to them for much of their real life social involvement. It was such a natural progression from email communications to Facebook and all other present day online media forums. How Read more…
Summer of 1992 I awoke one morning during the summer of 1992, and finished preparing to leave on a weekend hiking and camping trip with Sharon, up to the Mt. Adams Wilderness Area. We were planning to backpack into Lookinglass Lake, about a ten mile hike one way. My senses Read more…
CAUTION: Tough language characteristic of our POTU$ contained below. When speaking about the devil, sometimes the devil’s language has to be used. Trump’s latest actions are just more “normalized” amoral actions by our “stable genius” of a POTU$ (normalized by the likes of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and his many Read more…
My “Christian Sermon” for the day will be quite brief. The story of the prodigal son IS ACTUALLY A PARABLE OF THE STORY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH, and is, potentially, our own story as well. Those that make him divinely inspired from birth have turned his life into a myth, Read more…
MIND (a poem) The Master Power that molds and makes, And Man is Mind, Evermore he takes the tools of thought And shaping what he wills, Creates a thousand joys, A thousand ills, He thinks in secret But in comes to pass, Environment is but his looking-glass. James Allen (As Read more…
