This is raw. No apology. I hurt. I am in pain. And I created it all. It has nothing to do with her. My projection has been ripped away exposing the unhealed flesh beneath. Even the wind blowing across it right now is agony. And that to will pass. In time. Even now I am […]

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, music was stored in very long spiral grooves pressed into the surface of vinyl disks. Microscopic grooves.

I was reminded of a conversation at Serious Coffee in Esquimalt as I started writing this. I thought I knew what I meant seven months ago. It was about an image of the self, beyond the shell of our thoughts and feelings, who we ‘think’ we are. An image of a wave emerging from the […]
