		<description><![CDATA[This Website will be devoted to essays and insights related to diversity, addiction/recovery, psychological growth issues, global perspectives, the disenfranchised,  aesthetics, and cultural values. The core value streaming throughout the essays I write will be about returning to our innocence, which sometimes requires a trauma, a jolt, an invasion of the “other,” or a paradigm [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(This is another blog essay on addiction and may help non-addicts understand the many-layered world of addiction, a world I once inhabited and continue to recover from. My drug of choice was booze. But the behavior and emotional patterns I exhibited could apply to all addicts. Each addiction obviously has some unique differences, but, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I started to write an essay on surrender, I went to my twitter page and tried to send another one of my many “What are you doing” twitter messages. Up popped a mysteriously serious black-and-white message, “HTTP Server Error 503.” I was back in Kafka land, the world of high-tech jargon, a cosmos that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to an NPR program, “On Point,” the other day and a writer was being interviewed about his book in which he claims that alcoholism is not a disease but an ism of  choice. I don&#8217;t believe there are too many recovering addicts or alcoholics who would give themselves over to the generalized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the many years that I have been in alcohol recovery, I still remain grateful that alcohol rehabs were available when I first chose to stop drinking.
