It all began on a rainy afternoon when I found myself feeling lost and unmotivated. Staring out the window, I realized I needed a change—a new adventure to reignite my passion for life.
After much thought, I decided to embark on a solo hiking trip. I packed my bag, laced up my boots, and set off into the unknown. It was time to embrace the great outdoors and discover what lay beyond my comfort zone.
As I hit the trail, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. Each step was a reminder of the path I had chosen—a journey toward self-discovery. The fresh air filled my lungs, and the beauty of nature surrounded me.
The trail was not easy. I faced steep climbs, unexpected weather, and moments of doubt. But with each challenge, I learned to push through. The experience taught me that resilience is built one step at a time.
As I reached the summit, I was rewarded with breathtaking views. Standing there, I reflected on my journey. I realized that the obstacles I faced had not just tested my physical strength, but also my mental fortitude.
Returning home, I carried with me not just memories, but newfound strength and clarity. Life is a series of journeys, and each step shapes who we are. I now embrace challenges with open arms, knowing they lead to growth.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

The Planned Obsolescence of the Jedi Order
“Bound by temples and codes, the Force grows thin, for flow it must, not sit in stone. When orders cling to their names, blind they become to the living light. Only when the old walls fall does the Force remember how to breathe.”

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.
