About me

Gender Male
Occupation Fortunate enough to be retired...of sorts.
Location Utah, United States
Introduction If I had to describe myself I would label myself a wanderer and an explorer of sorts, not only of this planet and the life that inhabits it but the inner world of our minds; what makes us act and feel as we do? What makes some of us see the entire universe in a dog's or a cat's eyes, and marvel at cottonwood and dandelion seeds drifting through the wind as gracefully as shooting stars? What makes some of us drive past a stream without a thought while others will wonder just how such a vast amount of water can run for months on end, even while we sleep? Our world is so full of life and wonder, and we are all as unique as the billions and billions of ants below us. This time we have on this planet is a journey for each of us, the paths ahead being left to our own choosing. It is not for me or anyone to push or point you in one direction, but rather to just be like those trees endlessly dropping seeds innocently and quietly, all in the knowledge that most of them will go nowhere...but maybe, just maybe, a few will find a hidden corner and root, and grow, and change the shape of a forest, or a mind. May each of you find your path...on this particular journey, we are all together.

This is YOUR chance...write down your thoughts, your favorite memories, or books, or movies, or friends. This is the time to write a letter, to make a call, to hug your mom or your spouse, to erase some future regret. Get writing, even if only for yourself...time waits for no one (not even me, dang it!).
