Why are six-pointed snowflakes so important?
It’s funny how little things can be so irritating. During a recent Christmas presentation at Grace Baptist, I was surprised by several things. First was the enormity of the local Southern California church, which reminded me of a small college … Continue reading
It’s All Good
I first heard the expression “It’s All Good” about ten years ago. I had just been seduced by a younger lover, who wanted to blame me for a delightfully fun sexual adventure. By denying their part in the seductive dance, … Continue reading

On the edge of the abyss
Two dead sun dance trees. The moon’s infinity shines at night, while the light of consciousness illuminates the foreground. Two trees grow green out of the strange ground of white and blue flowers. A darkened white tipi stands waiting as … Continue reading
