Peeling back the Onion

No words required… just wait for it…

Just Country 

Yeah it’s true, deep down I’m an unapologetic and unashamed country boy…


I like them hand picked, hand cleaned, and home cooked. Mmmmmmm…..

Serenity 

I found a place in existence that rests between here and there. 

It’s a subtle place dusted and painted with grey, orange, and blue. 

Its a place that is ever present, 

But can only be seen at a distance, clearly visibly but yet intangible. 

It pleases me and provides release and reflection. 

It holds my souls eye captive and my imagination hostage. 

I’m transformed by its willingness to invade my appreciation. 

I can feel its serenity as a continuous stream of peace and tranquility. 

It touches me from afar in the most intimate of ways. 

Its strength immerses itself into the depths of my heart and mind, 

And I graciously and willingly grant permission.
This place ever so gracefully changes before my eyes,

As a continuous stream of wonder serenity and joy.

I willingly yield my worries to it and hasten to deliver my stress at its alter.

I dare not look away! 

Being captivated and captured over and over by both the detail, abstract, and cadence,

Its searches my soul making and planting eternal promises that delight me.

This place screams at me with its soft voice shoving my will into places of joy.

I am enticed by its depth and kind offering of all things good.

Now suspended and entranced, hope and desire fills all vacant places in my soul.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Join me when you can, I’ll be here for a while…

The Good Stuff

I want a fist full…

A fist full of the good stuff made of smiles & happiness. I’d like to roll around carelessly in stuff laced in joy and rooted in abundance, things thoughtful, and places that are heartfelt and resilient. I want to visit happiness and bring along all the possessions and people that matter to me with full intention to turn my visit to a permanent stay.

Babies giggles, birthday surprises, the unexpected return of a loved one, winning a game of spades with a dime, the sweet sound and feel of the perfect swing and connection of ball and club, Grandma’s hugs, your child’s smile and embrace, finding cash in cloths you haven’t worn for a while, a good morning stretch from a well rested night, the angelic sound of a great singing voice, good company, Mom’s affirming smile, the first touch of your child’s diploma, the big fish that didn’t get away, a day off from work with pay… Yes, the list can go on and on.

I want to take all that into my nostrils with a deep slow breath with eyes closed, arms extended, head tilted back, and a smile on my face. I want to let it flow into my lungs and fill every space, be absorbed into my life fluid and be transferred throughout my entire being bringing along with it hopes and dreams of a future full of promise then do it all over again. I want it and I will have it.

I pray that you will consider it too…

The Connection

Just Relax

What a relaxing day…

It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed an in home vacation day. You see most days are filled with “supposed to’s”, to do’s, gotta do’s, must do’s, etc… But today I found a way to abandon normal patterns and cease upon the opportunity to do absolutely nothing. Rest, relaxation, vegetating on movies and the like. I’ve been really efficient at ensuring zero productivity with the least amount of effort and have been overwhelmingly successful. It’s highly recommended…

Selfies and The Craze of Self-Photography

Confession: 04

While watching CNN I really wanted to state publicly that I like people no matter who or what people like as long as their actions are not truly damaging to others. I know people that absolutely love olives. I can’t stand the taste of olives but can’t live without olive oil. So while I won’t eat the olive I need what olives produce in my life. Everything and everyone has their contribution to our existence. Rather than deny, we should embrace.

So, shout out to the LGBT community.

I don’t have a clue how you all could like olives and many great contributors to civilization also likes olives. My preference is to never eat olives, but I cook almost everyday with the oil that the olives produce. Love is universal!!!

“Successful” is the sexiest outfit a woman can wear for me. It is the best aphrodisiac and great mind candy.

Forward Only

I stomp hard as I walk to leave a beaten trail for those that follow.

Don’t make me bring into eye shot and into your close hearing the past that I dare not admit to some.

The real tragedy of spaghetti legs in a moment requiring fortitude, force, and fearlessness escapes me because I know not retreat.

Dare to walk in my footsteps?
