After being away from the site for a couple of weeks I realized I had missed several poems from Mr. Roark. So I started printing them off to review when I got an hour or so of quiet time. But when I looked at the volume of work he had produced in that short time period I decided he needed a little more thorough treatment. Hence this essay. Comments are welcome but please forgive me my prosaic transgressions.

At times, the world seems bent on just complaining, especially those with some years behind them. Staying "conscious" dictates there's no time to bitch about some ache in one's ass, head, or heart. Age? What’s that?

After reading Sheryl Sandberg's 'Lean In' and several essays about work/life balance (most notably those of Anne-Marie Slaughter and Erin Callan), I posted this on my Bedroom To Courtroom blog. It was published today in Huffington Post Women. I hope it provokes some thought... : )

I am so tired of the Gay Marriage Debate. But even more than that, I am tired of my fellow Christians giving Christendom a black eye. Again. There are a few lines here you might find glib. I did write it with a somewhat humorous slant. All nits/tense correction/what I can do with myself and my opinion/spell checks welcome. Thank you for reading.

Last night, while inane entertainment held the anticipatory stare of 1 billion people, pockets of power mongering reality continued killing and pillaging humanity’s integrity. Whether by slick “three-nation foreign tour” or concussion of armored tank aggression on Aleppo, honor continues to agonize, while global indifference continues to grow-—prompting this repost originally addressing an Obama speech, adapted now to hopefully shed more consciousness on even broader issues.

This will be one article in a section entitled "For the Writers among Us" in a new book of (generally) narrative nonfiction I'm putting together. Not a very "compelling" title, I have to admit. Help!? But does the writing hold your interest? Say something worthwhile? Keep an interesting pace and substance. Hey, it's SHORT!

After writing for 7 years, I finally found a publisher a few miles from home. Their books are beautiful. Best paper, best printing. Not cheap. Their retail store offers copying services as well as books for sale. Books by local authors. Amherst has a lot of local authors, many of them well known. Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Jim Tate, lots more. Check out Levellers Press, order a book. You won't be disappointed.

This morning's story of a particular style of drawing attention to a tragedy, was indeed an even greater tragedy, given the media's blood lust for anything that will garner eyeballs to the printed page. Herein is an editorial/prosetry rendering of conscience... at least for those who deem themselves conscious.
