I am Dave: a complex but simple soul, who is extremely spiritual, though not religious.
Nature is my first love, my muse.
Writing is my therapy, giving me freedom to express myself in many ways, while allowing others inside glimpses, I generally hide from the public eye.
The darker side of my past and present, things that have shaped the unique being that I am.
I am a work in progress, trying each day to become a better person, husband, father, grand father, brother and friend.
A person of integrity, who believes in treating others as I would like to be treated, until they give me reason to treat them differently.
In short a curious, bent, twisted, tarnished silly old man, who has lived mostly a good life, and still searches for answers to many unanswered questions.
A man who tries to see and bring out the best in others, by giving smiles and hugs as I try to make them feel better about themselves and the situations they find themselves in.
The only thing I know for certain; Change is the only constant in our universe.
Ask, if I have left anything out that you wish to know?
Enjoy all of the blessings the universe grants you, as you take this journey called life.

Interests I enjoy writing,wood-turning, gold panning, family and friends and everything that nature has to offer. Most of all I enjoy learning and pushing myself to be a better person.

If there were no love in the world Would we all erect a dwelling Sound proofing it's walls Deadening the music Maybe furnishing it with darkened rooms Lined with tarnished fixtures So bleeding hearts can blend and disappear unnoticed A place where fresh scars cannot be seen A refuge where agonizing screams are silenced outwardly On the outside showing a facade resembling paradise On the inside lava pools fuming with guilt...
Maybe in another time, in another universe things will be perfectly clear.
In that other universe, we are the lucky ones. In that other universe, we have finally made it. In that other universe, we never experienced what we experienced here. Life never weathered or hardened us the way it did, it never dug into the depths of our souls, it never perforated our hearts. In that other universe, we didn’t associate love with leaving. In that other universe, we always felt good enough. We always felt w...
Every raindrop from the skytouching this desiccated earth. Brings fresh verve, causing a sigh.Damping a place, so flowers grow. Like every teardrop from her eye,touches this bruised parched heart. Sowing seeds to make her garden grownever meaning to cause a painful tear. Wishing only laughter makes her cry,and fetches beauty to embrace her soul. Creating joy to behold in a rainbow sky,fulfilling dreams, while expanding ti...
