To Love and To Be Loved By You
I'm a sensual human being. I yearn to be ignited physically, mentally, and emotionally. I want to love and to be loved. And I want to watch a story unfold before my eyes that stirs something deep in my soul.

When To Get The Hell Out
“That wine’s dank,” the server said as she scanned the menu. My friend Wally and my wife sat by the window of Indulge Bistro & Wine Bar in Golden, Colorado, on the corner of Washington Avenue and 13th Street. The sun had set.

Haver
So when the Proclaimers say, "And when I haver, hey I know I'm gonna be /I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you," they mean something like "blathering on incessantly," which is something my girlfriend once accused me of - now she's my wife.

I had a dream!
This morning, in the wee light of dawn breaking through the dusty blinds, I woke from a dream. The conversation continued to echo along the corridors of my groggy awareness. 'Was that real?', I think as I stretch and yawn, playfully swiping away Bella's sweet puppy kisses. We run outside for our obligatory potty break and crawl back in bed for a snuggle, and the dream replays in memory, over and over again. It is profound, in content and also in that I seldom recall dreams with such vivid recollection. Typically a moment, a feeling, a phrase or an image will stick, haunting me, teasing me, evading a full on recall. But this one, this one was different. So, here I sit to write and tell you about the dream I had.

I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU
Hi there. I'm going to ask you to do a mental experiment really quick. Think of the people around you. Your friends. Your family. People you pass by on the street. People at the grocery store.

Exploring Idioms...and Mountains
“They say third time’s a charm.” “Yeah?” She grunted, readjusting her grip. “What do they know?” The rocks were slick with the drizzling rain that had begun at dawn and was misting the forested mountain with a cold she would rather not endure; she had nearly fallen twice now.

Words do matter, which became more apparent as I aged, growing wiser. This story is about me and the impact words have had on my life.

Blue Diamond
Arthur jerked his eyes as quickly around the trail bench as his seventy-two year old neck would allow. He was certain someone was watching. The hairs on his neck rose like dry winter static.
