Hello, I will restart this journal in the coming days.

After a break of several years, I plan to restart this journal. My time has been split with other pressing duties. The most time consuming was the writing and publishing of four books.

The most recent book is titled Zen Poetry. All four books are available at Amazon books or by clicking on one of the four images at the top of this journal (see Above).

Chief among my new duties is to relearn how to use the WordPress tools to make the new journal appear the same as the older version, or as seamless, at least, as I am capable of at this stage. To say that I am “rusty” doesn’t remotely catch how intimidating the WordPress process appears to me at this stage. But this inaugural post (if completed successfully) is a heartening first step.

One thing I have committed to is to use shorter versions of many stories. The stories in the old journal will remain as they are, too many stories are ridiculously long, but the new writing will be more in line with common sense in terms of the time most readers have to give to a journal such as this.

I will be deleting many outdated addresses. Please email me if your address or other information needs updating or you wish to delete other information.
