One single atom
got bored one day
and wondered what it would be like
to Be all the rest of them too
and saw that by exploding Himself out there,
banging big, one might say,
He could do and be and feel
Everything.
At play with Himself,
He became light and
the bodies that make it
and set it apart from the darkness,
which is something He became as well.
He became the mass that
made the sound
and the water
that sought to shape
the shapeless babble.
He became things that breathed and fed.
Then, He made me, and
with a gentle push into the world,
He said, “I think you’ll like the dance floor.”

I am a West Virginia writer relocated to Pennsylvania. My wife, Becky, and I are raising two wonderful boys, Finnegan, ten, and Simon, six.
Dear friends,
Welcome to our website.
I am a Christian and a bartender. An alcoholic in recovery and a passionate lover of music, my writing reflects these things.
I began writing regularly in the early to mid-90s, and I have worked toward being a full-time freelance writer since then. During my time as a bartender, I did go back to school, obtaining a BA from West Virginia State University, graduating Magna, learning a second language, publishing, and editing.
Since then, it has been more writing toward the freelance goal. I'm making some headway too; I'm writing financial technology (fintech) analysis for Lending Times and about to expand that role with the company's forthcoming publication, Blockchain Times. This has brought a new flavor to my thoughts, and don't be surprised when you come upon something about blockchain tech, Ethereum, or bitcoin among these pages.
I appreciate you stopping by. If you're not sure what you're looking for, you can scroll down to the search field and search "What to read on here" (Don't use the quotation marks), and you'll see a list of posts that I feel represent the website well.
Thanks. I look forward to hearing any thoughts you have.
Until soon.
