Flowers on Maui

Posted on September 16, 2012 by stephenarcher

My son fears no per­son. He (lit­er­ally) runs to strangers. I have a prob­lem with this. The prob­lem is me. I do not run to any­one, stranger or oth­er­wise. I wait for them to get their asses over to me. … Con­tinue read­ing →

Posted on February 10, 2012 by stephenarcher

What is the equa­tion that equals hope? I have never really under­stood hope. As a kid, I didn’t want to look for­ward to some­thing with an expec­ta­tion. Too easy to get burned. I didn’t hold any ideas about the presents … Con­tinue read­ing →
