It is with great gratitude to the Great Spirit that I accept who and where I am everyday. And it is with equal humility that I offer this body of writing and hopefully some wisdom to those that cross my path. It is my hope that you find something of use within. Something to bring peace to your soul, or ease your mind, if only for a few moments. You are unique and special in all the world, but, you are not alone in your pain. You are never alone.

Lost in Place
I often just feel like I should be somewhere else, like I don't belong here. I feel like I should be out with my squad or team fighting the good fight, hunting evil, but I got sent home. This feeling and a general feeling of loss comes and goes and has been with me for decades. I think my career and raising a family distracted me from it most of the time. Now that I have released most of my professional obligations and am changing directions, it often rears up with a vengeance. When it is triggered, it can be such a feeling of separation or loss that it's worse that any actual persons death that I have ever experienced. I have a great family that I wouldn't trade for anything. But yet something seems missing. Or maybe left over from last time? I feel like I am on leave waiting to go back to war. I think, I prepare, I am aware, I am constantly vigilant. I find most daily activities and interactions boring and of little interest. I often find social interactions and situations with more than a few people of little to no enjoyment. I'd rather sit at the edge of a room or party and watch, and wait. Wait for what? I'm not quite sure what, but I expect it wouldn't be good. I probably sounds nuts, don't think I am, but there it is.
