The introduction

Pea in the pond? Yes, that's close enough to what I am. Just another pea in this great, messy stew. But, we are are all exceptionally different peas, and I believe we all possess a unique contribution to the stew. Our own secret spice, if you will. And I intend to add my own ingredient.

Some secrets will unfold, and the recipe will (hopefully) grow longer, richer and become of some significance to myself - move experiences and thoughts from the mind and emotions to the paper for sharing.

And as I get along, it may be sweet, surprisingly sour, lame, or maybe inappropriately hot.
