About Me...

Welcome friend.

Let me start this by thanking you for being here. If you are reading this you have either been invited to do so, or you have arrived through some random chance. However it is that you wound up here, I am glad to have you.

A little about me to get things started...

I am a man of "the middle". I am a man of middle age, who is a middle child, considered middle class, who lives in the middle of my country. I'm not using middle as a denigration of who I am. I'm not saying average. I'm saying equally distant from the extreme opposites.

While middle describes me in many ways, it also fails in others. Certain aspects of my life fall to the middle, but others touch the edges. There are those things that I am exceptionally good at, and those for which I have no perceptible skill or talent. Perhaps this is the case with everyone.

Recently, as I struggled mightily with personal issues and was in despair about my circumstances, I came to find a middle that resonated with me. That middle was the middle way described in Buddhist philosophy.

What I came to realize was that the middle could be a good place.

What I hope to be able to bring to this space in the future is my story. The story of my life as I strive to walk the middle path.

I hope that you will visit again. Until then...

Peace my friend. Thanks for being.
