This morning as I was checking out Thursday nights NBA scores, one of those annoying pop up ads showed me that I was 10, 890 kilometers away from Las Vegas Nevada.
In measurement that I’m use to that would be 6,675 miles away from home. I’m actually closer to Portugal than I am to Vegas.
That led...

DETAIL DAYS
Detail days seem like lost, soulless days. I sort the piles of endless junk mail; catch up on bills, letters, laundry. I don’t leave the house, but in some way I feel like I’m not in my home. It’s like a day of pulling out...

A short story I’d written some time ago:
Twenty year old Piya was troubled when she picked up the phone to call her best friend, Ramya Thiyagarajan. She knew she was in for a scolding as soon as Ramya knows what she was up to the past whole week. Piya herself wasn’t proud of what she’d done, but...

As I stand by the kitchen sink looking out into the dawn of a Sunday morning, an orange and green twinkle of a diamond enchants me. It’s a brilliant twinkle amongst a smattering of gems that dance throughout the backyard; day in, day out.
Opals of spring blossoms that emerge at the birth of a child...

In the good old not-so-long-ago days of ten or fifteen years ago when people asked how my work week was faring they were talking about my nine to five. Nowadays we are equally apt to be discussing my work in the spiritual world. As much as I enjoy working in finance in my paid...

Photo: Old glove from keymancollectibles.com. The one I bought looks much like this one. This one is in better shape, but mine's older. Yeah, yeah, condition is everything, I know.
Sorry I've been gone for the past many days. I was really ill, and my PC is under plastic...

WHY NOT HOME?
Power is not production and production is not art. I have to keep pulling the car over to the side of the road so I don’t miss the train of words sent to me from out of the dark blue life I am on the edge of living. But I...
