"Dominated by the need to feel safe, we lose our ability to venture and our world gradually becomes smaller and smaller . . . and so do we."

I'm not sure who said that, but it's awesome. I shall venture on, my world continually expanding...

I talked with Rhonda last night, the busiest of my friends. We got to discussing the big changes we’ve each made in our lives and how difficult they’ve been (and also how rewarding). What she’s done has taken a lot of strength and a lot of courage and I found it very inspiring, and it got me thinking about the people I hang out with. My friends are not afraid to take huge chances. They’ve realized that seeking only comfort and security, that staying with something just because it’s easy, is spiritually fatal. You have to take huge chances – if you hear the voices and see the visions, you can’t coast through life.

I want to move out this summer, and if it were only financial, I’d say that I’m going to for sure. But there are variables. I’m really leaning towards it, though, though it would mean that I’d have to work instead of living like a gypsy this summer. It’s time to move on and I know this.

It's funny how you've managed to find a common group of people who have taken will keep taking the chances they need to take in a world that's so full of the lifeless. Maybe that says something about you, too.

Mornings like this are why I love Spring in the Midwest: a glowing sky, filled with orange light yet threatening rain, o'erspreading the new green trees...it makes up for the fact that I had an absolutely ICY shower this morning. The sky is wide through my windows. (I'm sad I shal'n't have this room next year.) It makes me think of/ pine for travel. Below are a few pictures from my recent trip to the hill country of central Florida. I backpacked (solo) the state's longest loop trail and rode (both ways) its longest bike trail (with a stop at a strange, distant hotel between legs) and, in between these two jaunts, scorched myself on Clearwater Beach...I have hardly any skin left on me. Enjoy!

One of my favorite singer/ songwriters, David Brown from Brazzaville, actually read one of my stories, "Sleeping and Waking" and told me that I was a very talented writer with a very natural style. He has inspired much of my writing over the past six months, so this means a lot to me. I am going on one hour of sleep. Gawd, am I tired.

My Keynote Address to the Calumet High School Class of 2016

I’d like to start by thanking you, sincerely, for choosing me to deliver the keynote speech at your graduation.  As it says in my bio (in the little playbills you are holding), this is one of the biggest honors I have ever received.  And the fact that you had me as your teacher for three years, and still want to hear me talk, makes me smile.  Accordingly, I will try to rise to the occasion.  I told Bianka and Tiana I was just going to hiss at everyone individually, but I’ll save that for the meet-and greet afterwards. Thanks, too, to our administration for allowing me this opportunity to speak, and to our Senior Class Sponsors, especially Bon-Eye, the Librarian, who is always kind and patient, with everyone, even when terribly busy.  Thanks for treating people well, Mrs. Williams. It’s been amazing working with you guys, watching you grow – although I use that word loosely; most of you are the same height as you were when you started high school and some (ahem…Marisol, Brittan
