| Introduction | I'm a poet, a priest, a writer, a mediator, a headcase, a scholar, a misfit, a reluctant leader at times, and philosopher at nearly all times -- an intellectual hedonist with an appreciation for primal ecstaticism, but a surprisingly traditional outlook in some areas. Of course, in many areas, I'm quite non-traditional and unorthodox. |
