I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

The View From the Gutter
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the
stars.”
― Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan
____________________________________________________
we live in the gutter
the place where all that is rotten
and smelly goes
Gehenna
The garbage dump
Of emotions and thoughts
Place where hopes and dreams
Are fouled
We are all there
In one way or another
One moment or another
And yet
Somewhere up there
Out there
The stars sparkle
The beacons of heaven
Calling us
home
