Memories of Dad

He was born in Virginia during a time of financial difficulty in the United States. Lloyd Harden Garretson, July 1, 1924. In my opinion, the world became a better place…

Seasons

It’s been a minute since I dropped anything here. I’ve been busy – not in the ways people normally say that. I’ve been busy emerging, which is my “one word”…

The Mirror Holds

There are moments in life when the soul may shatter like glass—fractured by pain, yet somehow still hold together. I’m not a doctor, so my words aren’t clinical; they’re simply…

    It Begins—Starsong Rising is Here!

    / July 25, 2025 / No Comments

    It’s surreal to type this… The first novel in the Starsong Saga has officially launched. 🌟 Starsong Rising is now available. And yes—I’m still catching my breath. This isn’t just the beginning of a new book. It’s the beginning of a mythic, sweeping, cosmic story that has been whispering to me for years. A saga about divine harmony, deception, bloodlines,…

    AI and Me – Meet “Dux”

    / July 4, 2025 / No Comments

    I never thought I’d be one of those people—writing open letters to tech companies. But here I am. On July 4th, 2025, I sent a letter to OpenAI. Not to complain. Not to pitch a product. Not to get on a soapbox. But to say thank you. You see, for the past year (or more), I’ve been having conversations with…

  • I wrote this poem yesterday for a friend who’s been walking through a heavy season of sorrow and hopelessness. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s a quiet presence — a harbinger of hope — waiting to bring light. I hope these words resonate with anyone who needs them today.

    Whispers of Hope: A Poem for the Dark Days

    / April 5, 2025 / No Comments

    Note: I wrote this poem yesterday for a friend who’s been wading through a heavy season of sorrow. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s a quiet presence — a harbinger of hope — waiting to bring light. I hope these words resonate with and reassure anyone who needs them today. I’ve whispered in the wind, Felt…

    So Much More…

    / February 1, 2025 / No Comments

    God is vast, a mystery that cannot truly be completely understood, or He would not be infinite, eternal, Omni-Everything. This is pivotal because we are created “in His image”. We have His stamp in us – His name written on our DNA. That means we will continue on a trajectory of always growing, always learning, always creating, always loving, and…

    In the Morning

    / October 13, 2024 / 3 Comments

    In the morning, When the sunlight’s still at bay – There’s a hush, And I clearly hear you say That you love me… And you’ll make my dreams come true. In the morning, Yes, I love this time with you. As the sun Begins to show its face – I awaken, Being held within your grace… You still love me……

    The Eye of the Beholder

    / September 10, 2024 / No Comments

    It was Sunday morning, and the sun had yet to make an appearance. As I stepped outside, the coyotes were celebrating just a little too near for my peace of mind, so I went back inside to get some coffee. A couple minutes later, I headed back out and saw the first hints of red washing on the horizon line.…
