Ted Seymour - Explorations of Truth
I have a confession to make. I’m quite curious about what it means to be in love. Don’t get me wrong, I do love. I feel love very often, many many times each day, and tears can and often do come to my eyes just from the sensation of that love. But that love comes […]
I just got busted. Not criminally busted, but caught once again writing “I Love You” as my signature when I charged a purchase yesterday.

I’m sitting here in Bulgaria and over the past day have been feeling homesick – not acutely, but definitely missing my home.
