About Me


"Silence is the voice of complicity
But silence is impossible
Silence screams
Silence is a message,
just as doing nothing is an act.
Let who you are ring out and resonate
in every word and every deed.
Become who you are…
What you do is who you are
You are your own comeuppance
You become your own message
You are the message..."
- Leonard Peltier -
"Life is a learning place.
Existence is forever.
Challenges are only challenges because
life has given you an opportunity
to grow in an area
of your fear or weakness."
- Leonard Peltier -
I write to find clarity
I write to heal
And although some times very dark
they are my truths
and they are all
Definitions of Me ...
Some of the blogs I post, will be taken from the pages of my "Definitions of Me" Book.
If you have any interest in what those pages may hold ... please read on.
This diary of my soul spans many years. It holds feelings that evolved from significant occurrences and also a menagerie of fleeting thoughts. Some will be easy for you to recognize and others may seem more cryptic. However if there isnt a specific attached, maybe the feelings or thoughts these pages hold can be molded to a more personal situation. Or just maybe ... someone elses thoughts echo my own.
I have been recklessly honest in these translations of my feelings. Some things have been previously shared others kept private untl now. Most of them sadley, are for some sort of closure rather than celebration. However they hold answers for both myself, and also to those who have touched my life. I fear sometimes that because they have been witness to the many roles I have held ... they may have only the understanding of what I am. If they should ever wonder, I want them to know with honesty "who" I am - what I believe in and why.
I hope you find them worth contemplation, even if you dont agree. And if can relate ... please subscribe to my blog.

As with people ...
my interests in music

Lately ... I am lovin'

Prison Writings:
My life is my Sun Dance
by
Leonard Peltier

Lastly ...
The coolest writer of them all
Sam Paul

Heroes:



Doing time creates
a demented darkness
of my own imagination;
doing time ...
does this thing to you.
But of course,
you don't do time
You do without it.
Or rather ...
time does you.
Time is a cannibal
that devours the
flesh of your years
day by day, bite by bite.
-- Leonard Peltier --
