My life with depression and anxiety. Following My Dreams – “I Don’t Want To Be A Failure Anymore! Posted in Near Life Experiences. The Good, The Bad and The Crazy. After spending the last couple of months in a consistent downward spiral of health problems, anxiety and depression I finally decided that I’ve had enough. Along with some actual diagnosable ones… like an aneurysm (yeah I know… fml). For the last year I’d been trapped in something that wasn’t making me happy. I didn’t rea...It was the only int...

My life with depression and anxiety. Posted in Near Life Experiences. The Good, The Bad and The Crazy. Moving on sometimes involves literally moving somewhere…in my case, to my old home town. I found a beautiful flat right in the town center. It’s not too big and not to small and it was important for me that it had two rooms, not just one….because I hate people sitting on my bed when they visit me, or everything smelling of food when I cook something. For the last two weeks I have been so busy and even t...

Aliki Barnstone: Come and See, Friends: Coming Out as a Christian, 1st Installment
http://alikibarnstone.blogspot.com/2012/01/come-and-see-friends-coming-out-as.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Come and See, Friends: Coming Out as a Christian, 1st Installment. Contemporary Christianity has lost its way. Christians don't wake up every morning thinking about how to become a more decent human being. Instead, they wake up trying to "work on their relationship with God" which very often has nothing to do with treating people better. How could such a confusion have occurred? How did we end up going so wrong? 8212; Richard Beck,. I am a Christian. Christianity is a develop...

Aliki Barnstone: "Purple Crocuses," a Poem
http://alikibarnstone.blogspot.com/2014/03/purple-crocuses-poem.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. Purple Crocuses," a Poem. Seduced by El Niño’s eastern balm, they bloom early. One morning they appear, sudden like shining wet paint. Splashed across the newly green lawn. They’ve naturalized, their opulent purples. Each year more abundant with drunken bees. Buzzing between six pointed petals. Purple crocuses with shocking orange centers. Were here before I stuck my shovel in this dirt,. Perhaps before the old widow, Elvira Lockwood,. Who dug here before me and left a wind chime.

Monday, October 31, 2011. The Ruins of Mega Livadi, Serifos. This past week, with what the Greeks call "the crisis" intensified, with the protestors in Thessaloniki saying "NO! To the military parade celebrating " Oxi Day,. I got to thinking about this little tractate, "The Ruins of Mega Livadi," that I wrote several years ago, when people were optimistic about the economy. Mega Livadi was the site of the 1916 Miners' Strike. He 1916 Miners' Strike was. One of the defining moments in the. Canaries sing f...
