A blog is a message in a bottle, both in purpose and likely readership.

There are times when you seek your solitude, and your solitude just wants to be left alone.

It is not necessary to be strong in every place if in the place you are vulnerable, you are loved.

As to the Seven Deadly Sins, I deplore Pride, Wrath, Lust, Envy and Greed. Gluttony and Sloth I pretty much plan my day around.

Often it's just a short swim from the shipwreck of your life to the island paradise of your dreams, assuming you don't drown in the metaphor.

I nod to a passing stranger, and the stranger nods back, and two human beings go off, feeling a little less anonymous.

It's not that perfection cannot be achieved. It's that it's so hard to stop there.
