I was born and raised in San Diego, California and it's best the reader discard and preconceived notion of who I may be based on that fact or any other fact I present, for a human is not a static creature. Life happens and hopefully we grow. Well, we should grow and I would encourage any one reading these words to look at their life and make it true for their self.
I was born at Mercy Hospital and baptized and raised Catholic. That fact probably had the most profound and disturbing effect upon my being but I have had the luxury of time and the grace of wisdom to climb over that mountain.
My parents too, were born and raised in Southern California--my mom being Catholic and my father being of the non-religious sort. I have know idea what his beliefs were as he did not talk to us about anything. Though I do have a few fond memories of him, I can remember no words of wisdom falling from his lips.
My mother too was not one of many words or one to share touch and emotion, though I do have many, many fond and wonderful memories of hers though few words to recall. Funny that my dreams too are mostly void of spoken word but ripe with feeling. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that my childhood was ripe with feeling.
