It’s late afternoon on NYE 2024. Half the world has already welcomed 2025 with pyrotechnics, paper mâché and prayers. Those of us in the western hemisphere will catch-up shortly; a matter of hours as the earth spins once more around the sun. Marking a new year only because we’ve collectively agreed on this human centric […]

I love the Christmas season. It’s a sensual spectacle for my soul. The yummy treats that appear only once a year, even if my appetite for them is a year-round event.

Like so much about my about past, I had wide opinions and narrow views about life. This included politics and people; aesthetics and art; food and fun.

With the passing of our Sphynx in 2020, my heart was wrecked. This deep devastation and sorrowful state would pave the way for my ego to surrender itself to God. At fifty-five, I could no longer carry the pain and suffering of a life built on sands of misplaced faith. In my sheepish service to the status quo and its stuff, I lost my soul.

I like dogs and I have many friends who love their dogs. But it was a feline, not a canine, that God would use to soften my hardened heart. A life wandering in darkness; a life without Love.
