I am a pioneer. I separated myself from the mainstream. I left the forest with its community of trees. I must navigate my own spiritual path, blaze my own trail, and find my own spiritual home. It’s been a while since I escaped. I’ve been through many traumatic...
While I was in captivity I was secretly aware of a wildness within me. I wouldn’t dare share it. Of course it was mostly theory without practice. At this point. I dreamed of it. I hid it. I sheltered it. I nursed it. Others couldn’t see it. If they did I would have...
I strut through the field under the moon as if I own the place. Because I do! The world is mine. All things are mine. Black sheep. That’s me. I was always different. And I always knew it. But I had a remarkable skill of being able to blend in. I knew how to conform. I...
I didn’t want to come out. I felt safer in the tangled forest of my approved life. There I could hide in the shadows. In fact, I was a shadow of what I was to become. I would be hidden in all the distractions that made themselves available to me. I was an expert in...

You will feel exposed. As I was. And still am. Because this is how I choose to live. When I made my escape it was like ripping myself free from all constraints. I left all my clothes behind, my given layers of protection. It left me naked and exposed. Exposed to the...
I looked back. And I didn’t turn into a pillar of salt. I looked back. When I escaped and I knew I had, I stopped in my tracks. It was a night just like this. The moon was full. The stars were bright. The night was cold. But I was free! I hadn’t felt this feeling in a...
You just have to jump! Sometimes, like Kierkegaard wrote, you just have to make the leap! I took the existential dare. What a crazy image this is! Look at me jumping from a great height with only a rope in my hand. How far I must fall! I saw how far it was, and I...
