i was adopted. i was born into identity. i have no idea where i came from historically or ethnically. Therefore, i am a culture of myself. All the activities and chapters in my life created who i am today. i am free to select those i deem worthy of being in my family. i do not have to abide by longstanding rules or regulations. i do not have to follow in the footsteps of some long dead relative. i am a culture of myself. What i do, the things i believe in, and the rituals i make... build my identity.
i am connected to nothing at all, and deeply connected to everything around me.
i came from the earth. i am a true child of nature and spirituality. This is my gift.

Read my story “A Thin Line, Between” along with stories by Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, Charles deLint, and others. This limited edition anthology benefited singer/songwriter SJ Tucker who suffered medical hardships at the end of 2008. This book went out…
DIYP Article Up: Review of Power of Less
I reviewed Leo Babauta’s (of ZenHabits fame) new book, The Power of Less, at DIY Planner.com. It’s a quick read and got my recommendation. You should go read the review and see why I recommend it.
First Publication of 2009!
Two nights ago, I got a phone call from Phil Brucato, who’s been wanting to publish one of my short stories for the longest time. I agreed and can’t wait to see this story in print. And to be next…
