Ah... you found me, back here in my empty closet space. Come on in, have a seat over here on the floor. Sorry about the dust but I don’t come here all that often anymore, not nearly so much as I did before, when I stored a lot of myself on the shelves over there. You know, those things you think you can’t share with others because they might think you are strange or different.

             I use to have to shut the door when ever I came in here, so that no one could see me indulging in myself... that was before I realized that I am really not that much different then anyone else and in fact, I have found that we are all remarkably, very much the same. I wonder who it was that started that untruth that some of us are undeserving of  acceptance and Love?

             I still enjoy coming in here from time to time to reminisce  and  to keep alive relationships that no longer exist  for me out there. If you got some time you are welcome to look through some of my memories and maybe learn some new things about  me and those like me... like you.

             If I am not here when you get ready to leave, don’t bother closing the door. I like to keep it open for others who might be passing by. If  you have a question or just want to drop me a line, you can  tack a note to the CLOSET  DOOR  and I will get back to you just as soon as I can. For those interested in getting a little more personal, you can follow along and contribute on my Blog JUST WAYNE  or view my PHOTOETRY Blog.

ALONE

“I stepped in and closed the doors behind me and suddenly there was complete darkness and silence. These words came to me almost immediately and they have been with me ever since.”

A VISIT FROM ANNA

“This time the link brought me to Anna Redsand, an award winning author and as I began reading the biography I realized she was the Sally I had once known.”

Confession

“ I am the guilty one and I can only hope that the victims of my unforgivable crimes will have mercy on me and that future generations will be able to learn from my horrible mistakes.”

DEMONS AND DEMIGODS

EDDIE AND ISHMAEL

 

“Often, when we take the time to seriously look at ourselves, we realize that many of our prejudices actually started out as simple misunderstandings between either ourselves or those that have had an influence on us at some point in our lives.”

FLIGHT OF THE EAGLE

“This story was written just before leaving Gallup, New Mexico for the last time and while the characters and family are fictional all of the situations are true and witnessed by me in the time I was with them. I hope by reading it you will get some idea of what life can be like on the reservation. In no way am I suggesting that all Indian families live this way but there are many who did when I knew them.”

MEMORIAL FOR CHRISTCHURCH

“In times like this words are not necessary and often only get in the way… and so, To the people of Christchurch, New Zealand, know that our Thoughts and our Meditations are with you in this time of tribulation.”

MIRICLES STILL HAPPEN

“I walked out of the Internet Shop in a state of confusion. 'How could it be that nothing had come in?' It didn't make any sense at all... until I rethought my Prayer...”

MY JOURNEY

“Once, when I was very young, I lived in the surrealistic world of Christianity. I felt safe there, protected by the Family of GOD and His Right-hand Men who were never more than a Sunday away. Things were black and I was White and that was all that mattered; my how time has changed things. I do not regret leaving that world, though safety and security have been replaced by the uncertainty of reality.  Yet through it all GOD has been there and even though I have left religion behind I find in HIM strength far greater than I have ever known.  I would encourage everyone to look beyond the place you are, to find refuge not in the Mega Entertainment Centers but in the stillness of your inner soul, for there is where you will find HIM.”

PEACE

“I had never known a “heathen person” before, at least not on a personal level, but there was no doubt in my mind when I first entered boot camp that I had just been cast into a whole company of the fallen.”

THE BOGEYMAN

“She then told me that there was no such thing as a Bogeyman, and so I responded, “Well, if there is no Bogeyman, then who pinched my butt and why are you looking for him?” 

THE EXPLANATION

“All that I have done since that time has been an act of rebellion against the hypocrisy I saw in my race, my culture, my religion, my family, and my country.”

THE FALLEN LEAF

“Her words were like an arrow piercing his heart. He hung his head, as tears started rolling down his cheeks. "No I haven't Julie, and no matter what I do, I can not erase that horrible night from my mind."

THE LORD’S WINE

“He believed that if he could only find this Wine he could  use the knowledge he would gain to heal the wounds of the World and to make it a better place for all of mankind.”

THE MAKING OF A ROLEX

“If we truly believe that each of us possesses a Spirit... then should not Spiritual Growth be our goal in this Life… and if Spiritual Growth is our goal… then what would be the point of being only a copy of another Spirit?”

THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT

“I was raised on the Right but have spent most of my life moving further and further to the Left.”
