What a Life
The crossroads of Robert Frost, Eckhart Tolle, and Emily Dickinson — with a splash of J.D. Salinger. A series of "podbites" (5-10 minutes) with stories from my daily life, a touch of poetry, and reflections on the state of life as a spiritual gay man in Denver.

Or is my life simply not the stuff of poetry?
