Someone once said that time heals all wounds; maybe. I can only speak from my own experience and my owned grief. What time has allowed me is plot and perspective to ponder what my life has been about. What my life could have been about, and what my life should have been about. Like rings […]

The modern world has deconstructed every social institution, disassembled the cosmos and disarmed the world of any meaning. Reducing the human experience to a succession of stimuli to serve a soulless system. Science is sacred, the sacred is scorned and humans are suffering. As a culture and a country, we our spiritually sick, mentally maladjusted […]

The America I live in is physically ill, psychologically troubled and spiritually purposeless. Unanchored to any moral bedrock; unsecured to any ethical foundation. We’re a culture in deep despair and disappearing into death. Drowning in a sea of moral relativism and dying in ethical quicksand. Love is no longer the ultimate moral action but a […]
