Most would be so fortunate to have lived a life such as mine. Many would be so lucky to have survived a life like mine. The tremendous heights to which I have seen the faces of God and the Face of angels; the depraved depths to which I have fallen from what little humanity I am thought to possess in the first place by many; the plateaus on this earth that have been comfort while preparing for the next adventure to unknown experiences and lessons of life and the universe hereto unfulfilled. All these have been extreme in their wonder and magnificent in their pain.
I am a blessed man for what I have endured and conquered in my lifetime.
But no matter what people may say of me or may produce as evidence against my life, I have lived under one principle and one principle alone: my life is my own and I am a freeman beholden unto no man, no god, and no idea that does not further my life into a beautiful future.

I hope in all that I do you will see a reflection of the Love that you give so freely to me.

There are those who prove that principles, like flesh, can be sold for pennies on the dollar. There are those who prove there is little that cannot be bought for the mere price of another’s dignity and self-worth. I refuse to take another on such terms. Flesh and spirit are not commodities of worthy companionship.

I wonder if I’ve learned enough to thank the Past for teaching me to live a Present that will be treasured in the Future.

We must live life intentionally. Only then can we both experience life and savor the experience of life.

I am captivated, captured even, but no longer bound by the passions of love. While Love contains me—intimately within His breath and thought and desire—He has given me unbridled freedom in return for infinite devotion.

I wonder if two in the bush is a better deal if you have no hands.

I got told by text message this morning, "I love snow. It is peaceful like you." Really? No-one in my entire life has ever called me ‘peaceful.’ I’m always the chaotic one, the troublemaker, the noisy one, the high strung partner. But peaceful? Really? Something about that makes me feel good about myself in a completely different way than the usual arrogance I carry around. This is almost humbling in a way. It almost creates, I think, the sense of peace that I’m "accused" of having already. That’s really nice. Honest.

I have decided that blind people should be handled with compassion, but those who willfully put duct tape over their own eyes just should be pushed out in front of a bus.

It is often those who associate wantonly with troglodytes instead of nobility that become the most blindly hostile when you point out the shit on their boots is not welcome at the king’s table.

I leave no one behind. Ever.
I abandon no one. Ever.
I will not give up. I will not give in. And I will not fucking give mercy to those who would thwart these goals.

The Boy is asleep. The superhero is en route to home before dawn after saving not just one but two lives this same night. All is extremely quiet except the cleverly disguised flying rhinoceros munching her food and the whistle of the occasional siren in the distance. Life is quite exquisite. It almost feels like … once upon a time, there was …

I seriously wish Christians were actually taught their faith. But I wish even more that Christians would realize that they’re not an isolated anomaly in the religious landscape of history. Hell, I wish Christians just would get over their religious cainophobia when it comes to concepts that escape the tiny fragment of religious teaching found in its culturally-appropriated holy book.

Closing your eyes doesn’t make reality go away. It merely means that you’re not paying attention while reality prepares to bite you in the ass. If you aren’t paying attention, then the result will be more than a flesh wound and you’ll have no one to blame but yourself.
