Welcome!

‘He (Jesus) invented – as an author invents characters in a novel – all the different men that you and I were meant to be. In that sense our real selves are all waiting for us in Him.’ ( C.S. Lewis )

Noises

I love making noises with my heart, and jangling on my guitar.

Doodles

Pastels, Pens and Pencils are my thang!

Scribbles

There has always been a connection between my thinking and my quill.

Zenjoy!

A grayish green fungus covers the fireplace and the chairs and tables in this room. Santana’s “Borboletta”, is turning beneath the stylus as three men share a reefer and talk softly to each other in unknown tongues.

It is 1974, I think.

The brotherhood of man may be a fallacy, but it also may be the truth. Lived within the shell of my own experience, there is a commonality that is hard to ignore. Disciples of one another, the false one is not easily noticeable, for we are of one blood and we all share in this image of God.
