May that I find you in Evening's Mirror -- a poem by Bryan Meluch
May that I find you in Evening's Mirror Should your skeptic's ears hear my words and wonder, then Adrift upon uncertain seas Perhaps this weary and wanting mariner Availed of wayward Zephyr's breath, will Among strange flotsam humanity discover Sextant no longer pointing him west Dearest mine, where

hiding places

I've found that my coat pockets have become a repository for all sorts of random items lately. Reaching in for my work ID this morning I pulled out no less than nine separate and unique items: spare change (which really just counts as one item despite there being two quarters,

Do's & Dont's While Traveling in Europe

A recently re-found & resurrected blog that's too good not to repost... When in Wherever... DO ask foreign travel companions to do an American accent. Not just because it's funny, but because what they say inevitably reveals some stereotype about Americans. Like that we're all from Texas or frequent

A man is defined by his actions But how long do those definitions last A month, a year 10 years, a lifetime Does every decision, mistake, and good Last forever with us Do they become some irreversible suit That we can never take off If that's the case I'm got

The Kat to my Starbuck

Apparently, I handle emotionally-devastating circumstances better when I put them into sci-fi terms. I need to tell you a story about an amazing girl, who I almost missed the pleasure of being friends with. For those uninitiated to the greatness that was Battlestar Galactica's most recent series inc

Hi, my name is Caralyn and I have trust issues.
Shocker. Right?
This is, for the most part, entirely my fault. We give those we value in our lives the most potential power to hurt us. We let th
