• Questions and non-answers?

  September 5, 2013

   I have questions. The answers serve no purpose other than to have answers to the questions. I have hopes so anyway. Should the questions be proposed? And should they be proposed will the answers make a difference even though my thought now is that they will not? Maybe it is my hope tha...

• Odd Feeling

  August 10, 2013

   I have an odd feeling that I can't shake. It is one that I can't describe even to myself. When I try to do so I think of myself as a whiner, as if I have nothing to be grateful for which is far far from the truth. I have everything for which to be thankful. But...
