I am a dreamer and an artist, a searcher and lover of God. Father of 4 boys and best friend to my lovely wife of 10 years. Freerepubic is the linkage of great minds in this world of ours and I am very grateful for it. I am conservative and damn proud of it!

fuel the need
tremble you slowly over the bridge
utter a new sense and comb your hair
its trying that does it
nature does care
probe into a new way, a better way to truth and your mind
inside its all just time
feel the output through your fingers let Him guide you in your words
suffer no more, the pain isn’t there, touch the hand of God
plow through boy, wrestle with your heart and mind and soul
its just another way to empty the thought onto page
utter willingness to let it flow
triumph over the failings of old
watch the cuspid take a chance, boil over into romance
suffer the little children bring them to me
build a new house for those in row three
into the night I shall write write and write
towards the dawn, the morning sights
bilge under my toes and feet
let me smell the slime of the night
trust in him again and again, yes Lord it’s me I’m back again
Below the rage you’ve built up inside
Accept all new things that come to you through gift
The artist in me is healthy once more
Write on, write on, tug, burrow and plow
Its you and you only in life and love

I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life but that great consciousness of life..." -Jack Kerouac-November 1951...

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.
Jack Kerouac

"Down on the lake rosy reflections of celestial vapor appeared, and I said, 'God, I love you' and looked up to the sky and really meant it. 'I have fallen in love with you, God. Take care of us all, one way or another.'"
Ch. 34 Dharma Bums
