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.
What a Life
Episode 21: Keep Stepping

You'll be surprised to know, I wrote a poem to find the answers.
I'm not sure I like the answers I found.
