What gives you direction in life? Direction.. it’s a hard thing to achieve. Long have I floated, much akin to a leaf being pushed about by the wind. Drifting, from place to place, from one event to the next. My path through this life has always been uncharted, aimless, and indirect. Where most people haveContinue reading “Holy Words and Hope”

The Sorrow I Know
Today, I had the pleasure of caring for a number of people whose sorrows I will never fully understand. The circumstances with which they found themselves were, to them, insurmountable. This crushing weight has lead to a number of visible effects in their lives, each one diverse in ways innumerable. The DNA, as it were,Continue reading “The Sorrow I Know”
End of Day
I am at rest, after a long, long day. I have everything I need. I am fed, I have clean water, I have shelter. I have love and a community of good friends. I am blessed beyond measure. Truly, what need of mine has not been met? Bless the Lord, oh my soul. For whoContinue reading “End of Day”
A Hard Days Work
To bed I go, To rest my head The day is done, The sun is dead The moon has risen, I must sleep A hard days work, I will repeat Calloused hands, and iron bones Work away, to crumble stone Oh dark disease, tear it down! A hard days work, will be my crown ForContinue reading “A Hard Days Work”
Peace is a Lie, there is only Productivity
When do you feel most productive? Productivity. That delightful metric by which everyone lives. A loathsome word. Necessary. But loathsome, nonetheless. I feel the most productive at days end. Having buried myself in a good book or some hard earned music at the end of a long days efforts. You see, one cannot properly evaluateContinue reading “Peace is a Lie, there is only Productivity”
Every Day I Could Have Written
Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? I am a fearful man, as those of you who have read some of my words have probably gathered. And I have written, off and on, for years, dating back to my childhood. I wrote stories, essays,Continue reading “Every Day I Could Have Written”
The Cult of Negativity
This is the worst. These people suck. This is not enough. I cannot be happy. These events are too wrong to fix. Everything is going to collapse. We’ve heard these words before. On the news, on YouTube, on Facebook, wherever. The feedback cycle has gotten out of control. The negativity has reached a point ofContinue reading “The Cult of Negativity”
Thoughts On: The City of God, by Saint Augustine, Part 9
Hello, and welcome back to City of God, my deep dive into the theological and philosophical work of Saint Augustine. Last post, I covered topics 16 and 17, which covered some pretty serious topics, sexual assault and suicide.

Addictech: Devices Designed for You
What topics do you like to discuss? Amongst the many tirades against the vastly steepening decline of any semblance of healthy culture in America, one particular thing stands out to me as a beacon of my own obnoxious rhetoric. Addictech. It’s a phrase that, as far as I am aware of, I coined about twoContinue reading “Addictech: Devices Designed for You”
