I am a study in contradictions. While I was raised in a poverty level Appalachian family in a leaning, old farm house, today I make good money and live in a luxury area of the country--lots of spas which I seldom visit. I have not forgotten my roots but I have learned to stretch my wings. I am a secluded extrovert, a home body who travels incessantly for my work, a gay man trained in spirituality, a conservative by nature forced to be liberal by a fierce sense of fairness and spirituality. I am a practical mystic. I like God and dislike organized religion including atheism, but I know churches and atheism have saved some people's lives and mental health. I am a disciplined mess. I love humanity, but some people really tick me off. I love fiercely, hate ferociously and regret how little I show the first and how easily I show the second. If you're not comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty, you won't like how I think. If you're still reading, welcome to my world.
