Where Are All The Gods
I’ve been listening to Holding Out For A Hero and feeling sorry for myself. I’m not a god, or streetwise, or a knight in shining armor, or fresh for the fight, or even larger than life. Sometimes I’d like to be the first one and sometimes the last one, but I’m getting old for combat.…

Weird Women
I want to be surrounded by women. But not supermodels and Hollywood actresses or the women who aspire to be those things. I want to be surrounded by weird women. Stephanie is a druid. That is always a good start. And she approves of my goal which is even better. With two disabled adult sons…

Sanctify Our Lives
This morning after I ate and had an energy drink I read the first surah of the Quran, the first chapter of the Tao TE Ching, and my favorite verses from the Bhagavad Gita. They fit together remarkably well at least in my head. The Book of Mormon has a verse that says “We have…

Stress and Homeless Men
More people have visited today than usual. My parents are stressful, I love them dearly and it’s good stress, but stressful nonetheless. They brought food so one of my two sons came for lunch. Now I have my regular homeless friend at the table and another homeless man he just met. Gods help me. Oh…
