: About Me

My exploration into neuroscience began with my interest in how food can effect one's mood. It started with a classic entitled, "Goodbye Allergies" by Judge Blaine. Here he discusses his observations of people and how the individual diet seemed to influence one. From there I read books such as, "Awakening Your Intuition" by Mona Lisa Schulz and "Molecules of Emotion" by Candace B. Pert. I have also enjoyed reading interviews by Bill Moyer about the mind/body connection, as well as Deepak Chopra books. I have dabbled in Indian philosophy through Dr. Wayne Dyer's "Your Sacred Self." I look forward to reading Candace B. Pert's latest, "How To Feel Go(o)d."

I also write. I love to write poems, short stories, essays, etc. Please, feel free to view my work on Helium.com and tell me what you think.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The curtain

7 of 10

As the wind gently blew the white shear curtain, away went ruminants of grief and sorrow from my soul. A window opened, and the breeze that blew let cleanliness flow through. Chasing away the darkness, like the shadows run from the light. Staring at the ceiling can help ensure a peaceful night. But my mind is restless, as I stare at the cracks. The ceiling seems to sway forward and back. So I close my eyes and slowly I breathe. The visions would not stop even with my eyes shut. Only my medicine holds a guarentee that tonight I will sleep, and get some relief.
