2019-11-07 Predictable Predicaments
Last night exactly everything I predicted came to pass… from mid afternoon all the way to bed. I said yesterday I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my self all alone here, but I did have an intuition on my side, along with history which always repeats itself. I took Jim to…

2019-08-18 An Abundance of Fresh Water and Wild Wanderings
“The poem is the lie we tell to reveal the truth.” It’s a comment/quote that came back on my packet .5 and I’m a little stuck on that, but not in a bad way. In a very satisfying, mind-winding way. This is the first semester in the program that a mentor has given me such…
