Late at night, when the house was silent but for the sound of the air coming through the vents, he'd wonder how the past had led him to where he was.

2009-06-03T22:53:00.000-04:00

The lure of the screen kept him seated.

2009-06-02T23:57:00.000-04:00

The 500th post, and he'd been just then ready to just walk away.

2009-06-02T01:35:00.001-04:00

He suddenly saw what his youth would have been like had the Internet existed then; it scared him, frankly.

2009-01-07T09:44:00.001-05:00

Certain of nothing, he faced the eastern sky, wide and tall.

2009-01-03T03:10:00.000-05:00

Somewhat self-imposed, the hiatus away from the Internet has reminded him that the world was not just bits and bytes with light and dark on the screen; he wanted to swing a hammer and not be tied to a keyboard.

The water, still and silent, reflects the winter sky; boats rest quietly at anchor.

2008-11-25T23:42:00.000-05:00

The dark sky was alive with the sparkle of white lights outlining the distant horizon.

2008-11-24T11:31:00.001-05:00

He felt overcome and powerless when he couldn't find his keys and access passes for work; without them, he was no one.

2008-11-23T20:50:00.000-05:00

Sunday evening and he felt the world of possibilities laid out in the week at his feet; Friday might find him beaten down, but from Sunday's vantage, hope and optimism formed the horizon.

2008-11-12T11:30:00.000-05:00

When he didn't try to think, he found that life ran more than smooth, a ribbon stretching into the unseen distance.

2008-10-23T00:14:00.001-04:00

He felt the rush of a fruitful day.

2008-10-22T10:37:00.000-04:00

In a world of quiet desperation, each of us goes through life a stranger to family and neighbors, a passage of time unmarked by celebration.

2008-10-21T18:13:00.000-04:00

He felt as if would live forever, decades like months, life spinning toward him.

2008-10-13T01:51:00.000-04:00

He found himself staying up later and later, his body aching and requesting slumber under the night sky.

2008-10-11T00:01:00.001-04:00

He knew the hours of darkness would lull him to a sense of security and peace.

2008-10-02T12:28:00.000-04:00

Home was comfortable, a welcome place or respite in the midst of turmoil and winds.

2008-10-01T17:04:00.000-04:00

He seemed to thrive and yet he felt empty inside, a sense of purpose lost like a leaf on the breeze, browned and brittled and blow along the alley, unseen and unnoticed in the grander schema.

2008-09-28T21:54:00.000-04:00

The evening no longer held the same appeal as it did two or three decades before; he felt the night in his legs earlier and earlier with each passing year.

2008-09-26T07:12:00.000-04:00

He slept with the window open, autumn rain providing the music for slumber.

2008-09-25T00:23:00.000-04:00

The night sounds drifted through the open window, and he realized that autumn was upon him, a cool, cricket-filled darkness encompassing all beyond the glass.

2008-09-24T06:26:00.000-04:00

He was pretty certain that things were always more complicated than they appeared from a distance.

2008-09-20T22:22:00.000-04:00

He would drift back, his eyes closed, to moments not forgotten, a yearning welling like a moving storm, wind tight against him.

2008-09-02T10:27:00.000-04:00

He watched the water shimmer in the morning light and felt the soft touch of life upon his cheek.
