The summer’s trail swings low and then high, The Milky Way may be but a path to hell, Among enemies, naysayers, annum trevails by and by, Even as many remain who yet wish us well. Grand Sol beats down on pines, fields of green, The hills doth make haste to respond, All while mysteries flutterContinue reading “Promise on the Way”

Wizard of Monadnock Books
YOU’D GUESS FROM THEIR CRIES One Heretic’s Quest for Salvation A Novel in Three Parts Price: $2.99 “The setting — small-town New Hampshire — is perhaps the true main character, even more so than the eponymous hero of the story.

A Wizard’s Love Song
The truth is, it’s great to be back after my two-week Solstice Break, but I’d be telling a grievous lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it immensely. I disconnected with the news just a little bit – although admittedly that’s an easier proposition during these typically quiet weeks. I read far more than usual. IContinue reading “A Wizard’s Love Song”
Thursday Blessings in the Air
Before our blessing, a kind request: please continue to direct any spare good vibes you have lying around to our comrade Mike, who is out of the hospital and still on the mend, and our family member Tommy. These guys need a boost. Much thx – the Wiz. Thanksgiving was late and Advent isContinue reading “Thursday Blessings in the Air”
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND THINGS
All right, we’ve been at this a year now. The last time I substantially updated the page was back in March, and I’ve been promising announcements and things for quite some time, now. I’ve also been meaning to create an updated “ABOUT” section, so I figured, why not do two things at once? (The twoContinue reading “ANNOUNCEMENTS AND THINGS”
Jerome the Comforter
The following is an exclusive excerpt from Night of the Unemployed Wizard, a collection of poetry and songs and the very first Wizard of Monadnock Book. (It’s only a buck!) All ‘cross the land, the people disheartened, Many souls done been put through the ringer; Tho’ much is to be said of poets and theirContinue reading “Jerome the Comforter”
The Wizard’s Midsummer’s Night Monadnock Adventure: Part 2 (A Photo Journey)
Yesterday, when we left off, our heroes (myself included) were scaling Monadnock’s final stretch, that place mostly above the artificial treeline where you think you’re there already but there’s at least a half hour to go and you’re very, very tired and kind of staggering along. That’s how the experience is for me, anyway. TheContinue reading “The Wizard’s Midsummer’s Night Monadnock Adventure: Part 2 (A Photo Journey)”
The Wizard’s Midsummer’s Night Monadnock Adventure: Part 1 (A Photo Journey)
As is only fitting for 2013’s Day of Longest Light, and in keeping with my general tendencies toward wildness and not thinking things through, on the evening of June 21, I set out to climb my beloved mountain. This is a chronicle of that fateful and life-changing trek into the heights of divine communion andContinue reading “The Wizard’s Midsummer’s Night Monadnock Adventure: Part 1 (A Photo Journey)”
Unity Tuesday Under the Sky – Goodbye!
Another Day Time has reached its end, By the grace of Whatever. Go in peace, I mean it, Go in peace. Take nothing of this place with you to the next place you go. Leave it behind. Walk outside, look up at the sky. It’s not that different from the dome of a planetarium, isContinue reading “Unity Tuesday Under the Sky – Goodbye!”
