It’s been over a year since I updated the site. The break is officially over. There are many reasons why the last entry happened in August of last year. The main reason is that my life changed for the better in September. Since then I find myself in a great relationship with an amazing woman. That along with some work responsibilities that I have since let go of, kept me busy...in a good way.
The glowing bliss of a new relationship has taught me why some of our most famous writers have such tragic stories...It’s hard to write happy. One time I was sitting with a group of poetry writers and I asked if any of them “wrote happy.” Every single one sort of sheepishly shook their head. It seems those of us who pretend to be writers like to wallow and churn in our misery. When we are happy, we are too busy enjoying it to write. So I’ve spent part of this year’s hiatus learning to write happy.
In any case, here’s what’s new. There’s a new poem in the poetry section called Delusion. This was inspired by many of the events that have happened over the last year. Some have been tragic reminders of how we must appreciate the present. I also have two new projects. One is a new blog based on my renewed Zen practice. You can find one of the more recent posts in the essay section of this site, entitled Who Am I? or you can visit Zen Student Reflections. The other project was inspired by a file folder with hundreds of jokes and funny items my friends have emailed me over the years. There is no writing whatsoever of mine...just a collection of some hilarious stuff, this site is called Inbox Jokes. As always, I’d love to hear your feedback. Enjoy!
