humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
I almost went out with a sex offender
So I will start this post off by putting a trigger warning in effect. If you are triggered by assault or rape this is not the post for you. I will not use a fake name for this guy because the case is public record and you can google this name and "Dragon con assault" to find details about this case.

Paradise Awakening
Life yields many lessons, of which we are all aware and of which, if humility adorns our conscious thought, we are aware of our unawareness of. These lessons may be revealed in a myriad of ways. Some light and easy to understand, some extremely painful and cloaked in the darkness of confusion. Some are taught to us from our wonderful teachers both friendly and foe and can also be wrapped like a gift in a poem, movie or metaphor. This lesson of which I became “aware” took place in one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have ever been.

Love Is not Given It’s Felt Felt!!!
99.9% of the people on the planet want to experience real love, intimate love, family love. But in order to experience that type of love, you must understand that it has nothing to do with you. Yes, I said it. Nothing at all—unless you're the one doing the loving. Of course, you can’t pick your family. You just have to cross all your fingers and toes and hope your higher power puts you in the right place, which is a 50/50 chance.

A snake catcher’s perspective on FEAR
I am in the middle of writing a book on the subject of fear and how I have come up with a different perspective on fear and how fear towards certain animals are similar to our fears towards eachother as well as our differences and how our behaviours with dealing with that fear aren’t much different to the way we deal with our fear towards other animals. I thought I’d share the main ideas of the book, in this blog, hoping for a positive response and see how much interest it generates.

The Sin of Saying "I"
This is an evil thing to say, for it is a transgression...and we have never spoken of it. But we know. We know when we look into each other's eyes. And when we look thus without words, we both know other things also, strange things for which there are no words, and these things frighten us.

Being Left Out
I don't like being left out. It makes me feel like I can't be "one of them." It sends the message that I don't fit anywhere. One of my biggest lifelong goals is to find a good group of people that accept me for everything I am, and that I welcome for everything they are. And when I say everything, I mean everything. All the best traits, but also all the negative baggage.
