Becoming Mikayal
I never thought I would change my name. Where I come from, it’s just not something you “do.” Sure, in California, where I live now, lots of people change their names to things like, Tree or Mountain or Moonflower Sunbeam!

All You Need Is Here

The Bucket Or The Bliss
“Why?” That’s about the best I could do at that moment. Why am I here? Why am I doing this? What was I thinking? Can I go to sleep? Can I go home now? It was early in the morning of the second night of Ceremony… 2:00am, 3:00am… Time no longer had meaning for me. Hours, […]

23 Signs That You’re A Highly Sensitive Person
Successful sensitive male role models were hard to find growing up in the seventies in a middle-class Boston suburb. So for most of my life I considered myself a fairly thick-skinned, typical guy. “Sensitivity” was not a trait encouraged in men. Stability, strength and steadfastness were more like it. All good traits, but often it […]
