Sunset Journey – A Short Story

   Preface As a child growing up on a farm in Western Oklahoma, I found myself set apart from my peers in two ways. First, from my earliest memory, I spent every idle hour performing tasks that required no thought in a world of infinite possibilities. Therefore, daydreaming became a passion for me. Slipping into…

Crossroads On Life’s Journey

Choosing the Best Fork in the Road During my lifetime, I’ve spoken with various folks who’ve expressed regret regarding some of the decisions they’ve made in their life. Most wished they could go back and make better choices. I’m certain had they done so, they could’ve ended up in worse condition since any change can…

Faith vs. Fact

Profound belief in the intangible is often questioned by those insisting its existence be “proved”. Whether it is God, ghosts, or voodoo magic, the devout belief that something intangible exists frequently makes some observers doubt the adherent’s reasonable judgment. Curiously, faith is so central to each of our lives. When we drive over a hill,…

The Price of Absolute Certainty

Carve Truth on a Stone Tablet Some people’s beliefs seem carved in stone with absolute certainty. An idea can be so firmly entrenched that any evidence presented to the contrary will be summarily dismissed without actual examination. Absolute meaning, no room for error, ever. You’ll find people arguing whether we actually put a man on the moon…

My impulse to write stories and articles was latent until I reached my twenties. It started in a spiral notebook with short narratives and poetry. Much of the time, when I went back to read it over, I had trouble reading my handwriting or understanding the words I had written. I should explain where this…

Coming Out

No, I’m not gay. I am just “coming out” as a heathen. I suppose sharing here was prompted by a recent conversation with a woman in the BBQ serving line at the Autumn Daze festival. During our exchange, I mentioned that I was a “heathen.” She looked put off, so I asked if she knew…

The Heart of the Matter

In recent years, I’ve contemplated the subject of forgiveness. Each time I do, I’m reminded of the lyrics in Don Henley’s song, “The Heart of the Matter”. He sings of his struggle to deal with a breakup with his fiancée. During his journey, he comes to believe that getting “to the heart of the matter”…

Looking Through The Kaleidoscope

A Kaleidoscope View of The World I ponder how humans view the world and why each has a different perspective. We all have well-intentioned folks who politically lean left, right, or center, tending to see very little the same way. I concluded that we each use a kaleidoscope when viewing the world. When we think we are…

My Spiritual Journey Stages – A Transformative Life Story | ShadeTree

An account of seeking answers to life’s spiritual truths beginning about the age of 12 in the 1950s. As I have come to realize, the process is never-ending. I hope that my experiences of a lifetime of turning over many rocks in pursuit of what is spiritually real may be of value in your quest…
