I am never far from sadness.  Ever. The acceptance of our losses is an epic battle, one fought in the heart and mind, one whose internal scars and wounds are not always so easy to see in others but is all too often the centerpiece of our concentrated emotions, set in gold, front and center…

Once Upon A Time. . . . . . there was a President of the United States who, despite the opposition of many of those who were in his Government, made great strides to bring his citizens prosperity and health, steady growth and equal rights, all the things that matter in a Democracy.  He was…

I’d like you all to know that you cannot judge Americans solely on their inability to be quiet in a nice restaurant, or for wearing flip-flops to dressy events. You can’t judge a whole country just by the few that rankle – which brings me to the reason for this letter. We love our country,…

A common theme for science fiction stories is that man, having come dangerously close to committing self-destruction, creates a race of robots that prevent this from happening; we give them absolute authority over us and they take advantage of our gullibility and turn us into a race of slaves. Another ending to that story is…

Being grateful isn’t always easy.  Sometimes I want to rail at people, sometimes I am loving and concerned. Sometimes the beast, sometimes the prince. But being bipolar isn’t a simple state of existence.  At times I wonder what it is about my interactions with others that drives people away.  I feel that most see me…
