Poison and Theft

Poison and Theft and a wealth of rationalizations.

The Stranger in the reflection, only confirms your intuition that you are not who you think you are, will be or ever was...

Deceptive Truth

Signs point me in the wrong direction or perhaps I am reading them wrong? Living a life in a self deception and feeling if it's been me behind the mask all along? Lost in this wilderness… I don't want to… Be free… I don't want to… Lose sight of me…

The Muttering River Chapter 4

For the rest of the summer we explored. We explored different areas, riding by bicycle and going for long walks. We had explored each other and learned all about what Bob Seger called, “Night Moves.” 

Silence in the Voices

Is it an omen that the ominous signs seem to be disappearing behind those ominous clouds up in the sky? I close my eyes I listen for His words but all I hear is deafening silence. 

The Muttering River Chapter 3

It was a humid evening and the Rabbi pronounced us man and wife. The river was roaring past us as the sun beat down on the altar and the glass was shattered. 

The Bright Darkness

It's a sense of Independence and knowing and wanting more and more. It's fucking frightening and you sometimes wonder if anyone cares or can ever comprehend what you are going through.

When the time has Run out…

When love is all around, as you are lowered into the ground - what are you feeling? Is it peace or regret?

The Muttering River

The lake was on the other side of the county - I never really went there too often since I felt, in a strange way, that I was cheating on the river by enjoying the lake. Strange since I also felt like I was cheating on Jacklyn by enjoying Sandy.

Frenzied life

Willy Loman, George Costanza, Freddy Goodwell, salesman who lost their way and ended up with nothing, a pole and a legacy erased. Somewhere Howard Beale is opening a window as the king of mice contemplates his next move. T.S. Garp walks through the halls and sees Harpo Marx taking to himself out loud, while Charlie […]

The Muttering River – Chapter 1

I would be hanging out with my friends in the parking lot of the diner, laughing and flirting with the girls and suddenly a blanket would fall over me. I would feel a sense of dread, like a bruise inside of me pulsating...I would go use the bathroom and then find my way to the river.  This happened often and then too often. 

We live in a world where business is our lives. We wake up and we get dressed based on our business day ahead. We spend the day selling buying or doing whatever it takes to make money to support our families or our lifestyles. Some people are locked on a one-way street and somehow unable to change course. Some people are artists or some people dream too much. Sometimes the dreams cloud over us and create a fog that distracts us until we find ourselves lost, on that one way street with no way to turn back. So we trudge on, dying a little with each mile, living the untruth in life, untruth of who we are or who we thought we would be. It's alright, I guess, it's the road we chose... #work #working #job #myjob #office #company #bored #grind #mygrind #dayjob #ilovemyjob #dailygrind #photooftheday #business #biz #life #workinglate #computer #instajob #instalife #instagood #instadaily #tgif #shabbatInstagram

I found an old photograph from a long time ago.

When I get older losing my hair... Not so long from now. Will you still be smiling when you see me, hands in my hand, lips upon my lips? I can be funny, though maybe sometimes crass when I should be serious and quiet... I can be easy I can be rude, often I can be a pain in the ass. Too critical and anti social and I often bark and lose my temper... I lost my train of thought...

Extremely sad. Addiction is a sickness. Whether to start taking drugs is a choice. When to stop is not always a choice. #sobriety #love #sober #mentalhealth #onedayatatime #mentalhealthawareness #innerpeace #happiness #alcoholicsanonymous #healing #addicted #lifestyle #addiction #addictions #addictionrecovery #addictionawareness #nymets #docgoodenInstagram

Seasons of Hopes and Dreams

As August began I would begin to look forward to Autumn and then to winter. It's literally the middle of the summer and all I can do is dream and become sentimental and romanticize freezing temperatures and snowy evenings.  The cold air blowing, snowstorms, hot chocolate and sweaters. If you were cold, you could put on a sweater or go beneath the covers - in the heat there was no cover and as I said, the air conditioner didn't really work as they do today. 

Be true to who you are but remember that not everyone is ready for you. Be patient with people, they are not as good at being you as you are. #love #fitness #motivation #photography #followme #beautiful #naturephotography #picoftheday #wonderfulday #life #beach #monday #mondaymonday #mondays #mondaymotivation #freddyzaltaInstagram

When others succeed or fail it has no direct reflection on your possibilities or abilities. We must keep walking on and never lose hope and faith. Celebrate each success, others and your own. Support the ones who need it without questions or conditions. You will find a feeling of success within yourself which will keep you going until your time to succeed has come. #successquotes #motivationforlife #motivationalquotes #successsecrets #successtip #motivationnation #motivational_quotes #motivationdaily #motivation #motivation101 #inspiration #successdriven #motivationalpage #inspirationalquotes #awesomequotes #successformula #motivationalquoteoftheday #successquote #unconditionalmotivation #attitudes #mindset #successmindsetInstagram
