They remind me of bedtime in my childhood and camping by the lake and my wedding night. These shadows are the personification of confluence....
Ruminations of a Working Man: Confluence
Ruminations of a Working Man: Here I Sit
So here I sit, desperately trying to not be a poor excuse for a working man.
Ruminations of a Working Man: Wild I Am
Some songs get you going and remind you who you are. This morning as I drove to work, this song came on and I listened especially intently to the words.
Ruminations of a Working Man, Pt. XI: The Middle
We want more than we are, and to be more than we are. The tension brings rise to imagination-captivating inventions that bring us closer to the Middle.
Ruminations of a Working Man, Pt. X: Member of Everything
