    Amidst the chaos and the din I search for comfort deep within While a storm may rage without A whisper born within a shout A place of center, calm and peace Where all my worries I release I send them to another plane And free myself from strife and pain A soothing breeze, a feeling…

    My trusty Doc Martens. Of course, they don’t make the utility series anymore, so I need to find an alternative for work, because I need safety toes. The heels are shot, the leather is cracked, and they’re hanging on by a thread. But I’m not ready to let them go quite yet.

    Hibernation is good and sometimes necessary. Solitude often has a negative connotation. It’s not the same as loneliness. When one feels like they have to censor themselves or walk on eggshells, especially in their own space, something is terribly wrong. If one is still long enough, they can sense the energies around them. I sense…

    Good morning all. Hope everyone is doing well on this fine Tuesday. I’m taking a slight left turn today and going in a quieter direction. Can’t be all silliness and bombast every day, right? I slept minimally yesterday, so today the plan is to just lay low and do as little as possible. It feels…

    First, let me start by saying that I am truly appreciative of the deep, philosophical nature of the most recent daily prompts. This one, by far, deserves an award for “Deep Thought of the Year.” Truly breaking boundaries here, we are. Anyhow, I’m a good sport, so let’s play! Grapes As a soon-to-be-emperor, I figured…

    Good day one and all. Welcome to the start of yet another week! Hopefully Lady Monday is not too cruel a mistress to you. My three day stretch is done and now I’m off for a couple. And not a moment too soon, I dare say. Why “Mechaphysical” you might be asking. Well, why not?…

    Lifting more weight. Why? Because lifting weight makes me happy. Or, to put it another way, remain consistent with my workouts. I’ve been on a pretty good roll lately, but as I adjust to this new schedule, I have had to cut back slightly. That is fine short term, but long term, not my ideal…

    Good morning and welcome to Sunday, everyone! Hope the weekend has treated you all well and it’s been an enjoyable, relaxing one. One more shift to go and then I get my next taste of freedom. Working every other weekend has its downside, but the 5 days off the next week help make up for…

    This is one of those questions that could have multiple meanings. Living in a free, or “free” country? The freedom to go where I want, when I want? Financial freedom? The freedom to hang out with whomever I choose to, regardless of race, sexual preference, religion or opinion? At the end of the day, the…

    It used to be so easy, you know? All I had to do was show up with a contract and they’d sign without fail. Like that Johnson kid. All I had to do was wait at the crossroads, parchment in hand, and it was a done deal. Man, could he play a mean guitar. Okay,…
