Haze of morning light

bounces off blades of fresh mown grass

the sparrow listens

The art, poetry and ramblings of this site are simply a diary of sorts of my personal joys, sorrows, challenges and faith. To move forward in my life, I found it essential to explore my past experiences and discover how they shaped who I am and how I relate to the world. 

In 2005, I undertook a journey of tracking down people in my past who had a great impact on me.  In the process, I rekindled a childhood relationship with Terri, my best friend at 5 years old. I found my first love, my highschool sweetheart, Frank, whom I had not seen or spoken to in over 30 years.  I reconnected with my wonderful long time ago friend Jeanne Mae from my California days.  These three people saved my life.  I know that now, though I had no idea at the time of our budding friendships.  Much of my work is inspired by those relationships and what I learned from them.

If you can relate to anything you find here, then I am satisfied.  If you interpret any of your own life experiences through this site, then I am happy.  If you find joy in self discovery through this website, then I am thrilled!
