Merry Christmas to all, and may we all have a more enlightened New Year, sans TREASON (Trump Related Extreme Anxiety Striking Our Nation).

What can I say that has not already been said? A selfish, spiritually and socially corrupt, dangerous, sad, and pathetic excuse for a human being is now our POTU$, and there is nothing we can do about it, save wait for the next election cycle, or for Robert Mueller to finally strike gold (and HE IS CLOSE). There is little hope for “salvation” for our leader, and for those who stubbornly support this miscreant.

It is about all Americans modelling healthy, mutually supportive behavior, and voting for politicians who support the 99 percent of Americans who are not obsessed with wealth and material riches beyond reason. It is about helping those less fortunate than ourselves, and offering a helping hand to all who are in need, physically, emotionally, economically, and spiritually.

It is about living the real spiritual life, that our Christmas holiday is supposed to be based around. It is about loving our fellow human beings, our animals, our planet, and our Creator, and, while lifting ourselves up, lifting others up, as well.

Even atheists have a Creator that lives in their thoughts, or they would not have any thoughts. And, whether we are Atheist or Creationist, or somewhere in between, if we don’t love what we are thinking, it is time to change the way we see and think about our self, and our relationship to each other, and to the world. And then we can consciously co-create with the rest of humanity in bringing about a new world order based on justice, kindness, love, and peace. This is the Real second coming of “Jesus Christ”, not the imaginary fairy tale of those superstitious, wayward pseudo-Christian religious dogmatists.

“It is easier to pull a camel through an eye of a needle, than to bring a rich man into the “kingdom of heaven” ”

Please, save yourself, and thus we can save each other, and our deteriorating world.

Presently, I am 67 years old, and I am learning how to live the life of a retired person. I am married to Sharon White, a retired hospice nurse, and writer. Whose Death Is It Anyway-A Hospice Nurse Remembers Sharon is a wonderful friend and life partner of nearly 30 years. We have three grandsons through two of Sharon's children. I am not a published writer or poet. My writings are part of my new life in retirement. I have recently created a blog, and I began filling it up with my writings on matters of recovery and spirituality. I saw that my blog contained enough material for a book, so that is now my new intention, to publish a book, if only so that my grandsons can get to know who their grandfather really was, once I am gone. The title for my first book will be: Penetrating The Conspiracy Of Silence, or, How I Lived Beyond My Expiration Date I have since written 7 more books, all of which are now posted on this site. I have no plans to publish any of them, as their material is not of general interest, and would not generate enough income to justify costs. I have taken a deep look at life, and written extensively about it from a unique and rarely communicated perspective. Some of my writing is from 2016 on to the present moment. Other writing covers the time prior to 1987 when I was a boy, then an addict and alcoholic, with my subsequent recovery experience, and search for "Truth". Others are about my more recent experiences around the subjects of death, dying, and transformation, and friends and family having the most challenging of life's experiences. There are also writings derived from my personal involvement with and insight into toxic masculinity, toxic religion, toxic capitalism, and all of their intersections with our leadere. These topics will not be a draw for all people, as such personal and/or cultural toxicities tends to get ignored, overlooked, or "normalized" by those with little time for insight, introspection, or interest in other people's points of view on these troubling issues. There also will be a couple of writings/musings about "GOD", but I try to limit that kind of verbal gymnastics, because it is like chasing a sunbeam with a flashlight. Yes, my books are non-fiction, and are not good reading for anybody seeking to escape and be entertained. Some of the writings are spiritual, philosophical and intellectual in nature, and some descend the depths into the darkest recesses of the human mind. I have included a full cross section of all of my thoughts and feelings. It is a classic "over-share", and I have no shame in doing so. A Master Teacher once spoke to me, and said "no teacher shall effect your salvation, you must work it out for yourself". "Follow new paths of consciousness by letting go of all of the mental concepts and controls of your past". This writing represents my personal work towards that ultimate end.
