Fragile, Yet Firm & Fierce
I don’t claim to know how love works, where it comes from, or why we have it, but let me tell you about a little kitten we just rescued… But before I do that, I need to backtrack some—especially if you read the last couple posts… The Price of Admission In AA’s book, Twelve Steps…

Trusting the Process
Has anyone ever told you, “You’re right where you’re supposed to be”? Although starting blogs with a closed-ended question is perhaps not the most exciting hook compared to the heartfelt displays I’ve posted as of late, it is what it is. That whole “It is what it is” is another way of saying you’re right…

“You Have No Enemies.”
“You have no enemies.” my girlfriend said to me from across the cold patio… except at that moment, she was my ex-girlfriend. Four words. So simple. And yet… she pierced my life-long outer shell so precisely and entered the stony chamber of my heart. Ten Hours Earlier… A week ago, I had just come home…

The Waiting Game…
Of course, I know what I mean by “The Waiting Game.” However, looking at the date of my last post, evidently, it also applies to me sitting my ass down to once again regale you fine folks with my thoughts on thriving beyond trauma.

But cats require a certain je ne sais quoi… A certain finesse. As for yours truly, I lend myself to the feline purrrsuasion. Not that it’s…

The Only Constant is Change…
In AA, I’ve heard some folks say the only two things alcoholics hate are things changing and things staying the same… Well, young Bucky, gird your loins ’cause some major shifts are a-happening! And of course, music always heralds the coming of a new age, or at least a “hark” so the herald angels sing……

Letting In Love
Oh shit… Now the boy’s gonna tell us what he thinks about love. Yes, young Bucky, that’s exactly what the fuck I intend to do! [interlaces fingers and cracks his knuckles awaiting words to spew forth] Lucky for you the clothes dryer just went off so I have a few more minutes to let the…

Titleless Blog
Yes, “titleless” is not a word except I just typed it and so now it is. Aren’t words fun? 😜 It begs the question as to whether it matters what words we use, spelled incorrectly or not, as long as you know what I fucking mean… Right? At least, that’s what I’ll keep telling myself.…
