i fight a hellish battle everyday. always something or someone demanding attention, time, effort. i am most often glad to help, but looking ahead i see only miles and miles of work, stress, and struggle. every moment is a profound gift that passes before it is realized. i am learning how to put the needs of others ahead of my own. the constant talking may very well drive me insane. • Read more »

January 2006
settle into that wretched skin of yours, but don’t try too hard or get too used it because you are here today and gone tomorrow, although it is only in retrospect that time passes quickly. in the meantime, during the slow wait, time crawls as it flies. so another year begins — much has changed, and much will change. i am wide awake, watching, and waiting. sunrise. • Read more »
Creative Balance
I have been drawing and sketching for over thirty years. The process of setting up for art, developing ideas, and letting the pens flow, really gets my juices flowing. Once that flow hits, and the music fades, hours disappear, manifesting imagination. This process is so familiar as to happen automatically, as a natural consequence of internal inspiration, artistic creativity, and the desire to express the subjective experience of my subconscious mind.

September 2005
bob stepped with caution through the quiet kitchen. the room hummed as he reached into the fridge. "everything is loud — nothing is quiet these days" he thought as the door clapped shut. the floor squeaked as he stepped toward the garden window. he stared at pat, who sat still among the hedgerow. pat understood the traffic, which raced past this hour… • Read more »

Creative Writing Exercise, Part 1
A Hemingway scene1 written in the style of Borges: I noticed the labyrinth of trees on my left, it appeared as a mysterious maze. I watched as the infinite trees erased the endless fields, and marveled at the ancient, unearthed bonsai tree. I imagined the raging storm that had ripped it from the ground, forcing it back into the bamboo grove. I thought about how its roots were now swirling with dirt, each tiny rock a microcosm [...] • Read more »
Creative Writing Exercise, Part 2
A Borges1 scene written in the style of Hemingway: Nick looked for his explanation. He reached into his pack and easily remembered. It felt good. Nick knew the answer. It is not complete. It is not untrue. The answer looked like a big picture of everything, just like Jenkins had said. Nick remembered Jenkins. It had been a long time since he had seen him. Jenkins was not like Bill and John. They said the answer was [...] • Read more »

trying and enjoying. advanced subtleness. trying to change and to change not, a constant battle wrought beneath the ruins. self versus sacrifice, or somehwere in-between. i look toward autumn and hope for the best.. i pray winter finds us safe and in good health. help me get back to where i once belonged. • Read more »
Praise and Criticism
praise & criticism Hello Google, i have been using the google homepage (google.com) as my personal internet start page for several years now. i have emailed before with praise for the page’s very simple & elegant design asthetics. however, i am occasionally annoyed with the periodic advertising frequenting the page. For example, today i discovered the return of the pesky “google toolbar” advertisement. yuck. (strictly speaking of the start page) i realize that i am scrutinizing a [...] • Read more »
