There are 50 of these goldfinches that eat black nyjer seed at my thistle-give-away program on the front porch all the do-dah day. The seed is shipped in from Africa, costs $30 /bag, and damn if the birds can't pound it all down in a month. (Not bad ...

I look forward to reading this blog every day. Always some words of inspiration, a story of friends and family, memories of the past and just a little thoughtful reminiscing to take me through the day.

Stark and revealing tales of self discovery. A man who is not afraid of the dark places we all have hidden away in some corner of our minds. Tales woven by a man who is clearly a warrior in the fight for enlightenment. The term normally used is search for enlightenment, but in reality the struggle is a fight one must win out in in order to attain enlightenment. A fight within ones self. A fight with societal norms, warring governments, failings of the heart and the eventual acceptance that everything is exactly as God wants it to be.
Words crafted so, that the reader is drawn into the stories as if they themselves were there. Imaginings of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. My senses come alive as I shut myself up into a closed room, where alone, I take a journey along with this man as I read the tales he has so perfectly crafted from his own real life personal experiences.
I have walked a mile in his shoes through reading the stories he writes. A mile that makes me a better man for knowing him and his life experiences.
I keep coming back to this blog. The talent bleeds through every story. There are real conversations in here. This is what you would hear while talking to a friend. Thanks for sharing.
