Sharon July 25th, 2008

If you're just joining me and my story, here are chapters one, two, three, four and five of A Doxology in Darkness.

Etcetera - 07.02.08 - Life and Death

Erik Guzman July 3rd, 2008

This week on Etcetera, The Comedy Ninja and The Spastic Mystic joined me in the studio for a ride down the Internet Stream of Collective Consciousness. That's my silly way of saying my friends Matt and Sharon stopped by and we recorded a conversation that seemed directed by a Mind beyond ourselves.

I was all prepared to talk about my recent fascination with death (and birth as the beginning and end of death). Then, Matt gave us the update on the impending arrival of baby Alejandro and Jor … (Read More)
