When I Dream of ME
What follows is an account of a special event in my life that led to profoundly positive changes. It is an event I write about in Book 1, and it seems fitting to this platform where I attempt to share my journey through part of the criminal underworld.

You are believing a lie
¹The man on the subway - Dr. Stephen Covey “I remember a mini-paradigm shift I experienced one Sunday morning on a subway in New York. People were sitting quietly – some reading newspapers, some lost in thought, some resting with their eyes closed. It was a calm, peaceful scene.

Mind Control
Trying to put thoughts into words can be exhausting. Especially when thoughts and ideas seem to soar uncontrollably through the mind. It creates a feeling of unrest and uncertainty. Today's world seems to be overwhelmed with unrest and uncertainty. We focus on physicalities and materialistic aspects of our lives while neglecting the psychological and spiritual. Balance has been discarded for convenience. People have been discarded for profit. So many of us have been distracted and dependant on those misleading us granting them more power than needed. It does nothing more than allow us to be subjected to the biases of others rather being able to use our intuition to think for ourselves.

Follies & Prophecies 11:00 pm What to Bring?
Here I am, in my life that leads, and my mind that follows; beckoning for revival. From this sorry state we have foregone, to allow such usurpers within our dominion. Where I am so very broken of the hearts that beat no more, and those that still do. For what they have seen and experienced is unimaginable, and real.

When Those Summer Winds Blew
A kaleidoscope of images flows through conscious thought as I search through the years to those moments of carefree summer days of long ago. Now, as this summer winds blow I often drift back to the sublime ambiance that made those summers so memorable. The days of carefree adolescence filled with puppy love romances and adventurous escapades. It was always when summer winds started to blow off we went to Lake Geneva. Our cottage by the lake created memories so sweet and true. Even to this day with great fondness I think back and recall the friendships that were forged and the crazy stuff we did.

I am Heron-haunted
Every day he leads me along the paths beside the river. Every day as I make my journey, often with only him for company, I wonder if I am leading him. Perhaps we walk together, disparate creatures who possess some kind of peculiar connection; one that cannot be understood in the rational, logical world that I inhabit - a world from which I am becoming increasingly and willingly detached.

What Happened to Tommy?
“She’s in there,” I could hear them say. I’m sure their coats were white and their clipboards metal. All they could see was a broken-down woman with tears streaming down her face. Sometimes there were smiles and other times complete sadness, but I could never make a sound. Never a word. Never a gasp. I couldn’t see the white walls but I could feel the padding around me. I wished they felt more like the feathery pillows on my MaMaw’s bed that I wasn’t ever supposed to be on and less like the stiff leather seats of my dad’s old Ford Ranger, but that was only a minor inconvenience. Where I really was, was where I needed to be and there was no use for physical me anyway.

Lucid Dreams are more amazing than you think...
Lucid Dreams are more amazing than you think... and I should know, i've had plenty. However, when we go to sleep and enter the dream state, most of the times we don't become lucid because the dream seems to go into an automated movement, as in we have no control over it. The dream seems to play out and we have no say over how it flows. Then we wake up and sometimes we remember our dreams and other times we don't. When we do wake up and are able to recall our dream from the previous night of sleep, most people usually think,

If you could communicate with your past self, would you?
If you could communicate with your past self, would you? Forget about the logistics and the technicalities of how this would happen. Forget about why it would happen, just imagine for a moment that you would literally be able to hold conversation with you.

Why can't we remember...
Why can't we remember what we ate for dinner 5 months ago? I'm sure there are some gifted people out there that have the capability to recall/remember anything they want from any point in their life. Whoever they are, they are the minority amongst the majority of us that seem to have the grandest struggle in attempting to recall where we placed our keys 5 minutes ago, or what we ate for dinner 5 months ago.
