Never before in the history of the world, has a culture produced so much wealth and so much leisure time like we have in the US. And yet, we have only get sicker; physically, mentally and spiritually. Ourselves and our children. Materialism is the new religion of our age. The belief that humans are solely […]

Authors note. As I begin the publishing process to bring my memoir to market (fall 2025), this seemed like an ideal time to share some of the stories about how this occurred. It was another bright blue, cloud barren summer day in Vegas. The Mojave desert propelling its furnace of hot dry winds across the […]

Like everything in Creation, God created us; you and me. Creatures crafted from clay and conceived through Divine breath. God commanding the nothingness to become somethingness. Life as we know it and a life that will be made known. Planted in paradise, humanity found itself amidst the Divine. A rupture in the relationship when man […]

It’s a cold, gray and rainy day and I couldn’t be happier. This melancholy message might seem like a strange sentence to script, but I live in Vegas; and it’s been over 200 days since we’ve had rain; almost seven months.

As one might expect, there was “outrage” from those […]

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. The power of light to pierce the short December days and even longer December nights. The glorious music. The profane and holy, both speaking […]

For the last three weeks of my life, everything has been about moving, money and materials. Cardboard boxes, clear packaging tape and cylinders of bubble wrap. The latter as much for the cat as it is for those items we’ve deemed fragile. Our cat not among the fragile, but the treasured. Navigating a regulatory real […]
