The Irreverend at Birth       (Black & White)

• There is no destination, only a journey. This is good, because I know what direction to go, I just don't know where I'm going.
• I do know it is easier to float down a river than it is to climb a mountain.
• I am more impressed by the questions you ask, than the questions you can answer, but any good answer will only lead to more questions.
• When your life is in balance the first thing to slip away is anger.
• Always be careful of the sleazy side of the spirituality business.
• Never refuse a mint.

It is my hope to use this page to explain my journey, first to myself, and then to others. I know very few things, but I do know that my journey is mine and no one else's. Hopefully, sharing our journeys can lead to better understandings.
Over time I will expand this page to include more details on:

• My past: Where I came from
• My current understanding of my journey
• Some pearls of wisdom I have mined
• A few personal writings
• Some observations of the autistic spectrum (see below)
• Some blog entries that should run the gamut from deadly serious to completely whimsical

I will expand this page as quickly as I can, but that means that it will take a lifetime. If you are interested in joining me for a while on my journey then please offer your friendship and I will show you mine.

I believe that I suffer benefit from an autistic spectrum disorder. The more I learn about the autistic spectrum the more interested I become.

My understanding increased manyfold recently when I read a couple of books written by fellow travelers along that strange road (see my list of books below). I have created my own autistic spectrum chart where I have placed people I have observed, including myself, or now have read about. I will share this based on how well this topic is received by our community. Being autistic, I never know when I have imagined a better mousetrap or a steam-powered vacuum cleaner.

I will share more as I have time to expand this section. I will investigate creating a Pod on autism, if there would be any interest. If you have experience with people with autistic spectrum disorders (Asperger's, PDDNOS, etc.) or if you personally struggle with it yourself, then please let me know.
