My dad is fond of saying, "we are dying every day". He is afflicted with Parkinsonism. We are closer to the great beyond. I have collected too many regrets over the years. I once lived fully and beautifully.

I often wonder about experience and how certain events happen. Love is alien to me. I wish I understood it. I do believe the most hardest things to pontificate on are very emotionally raw and human. The questions do linger as does the motivation to change a destiny. Being a romantic thinker, I reckon makes me vulnerable or fragile. These delicate strokes are part of who I am. I refuse to relent all my creative energies towards sameness.
