What Ham Radio Operators Do

Beautiful Night
It is a beautiful pre-spring night and I think I will take a trip down to the shoreline and visit my uncle and take in the sights and sounds of the shore. The current temperature is 65 degrees so it will be well worth the trip. Possible photographs to follow.
Pain’s Crown Jewel
Pain’s Crown Jewel
Insomnia is the crown
jewel in pain. Sleep
teases you throughout the day,
seducing you as a lover
does. Though once
it is time to
Close your eyes that
long-awaited sleep never
Comes! Insomnia is pain’s
Crown jewel and fatigue
it’s crown.
Why I Write
I was sitting here having a sip of sparkling water and a question entered my head. Why do I write?

Crystal Walls
Crystal Walls
I wear a mask
and build walls because
of the pain I bear. Some
walls you can see
through, some are as thick as
the night. It is the
Crystal Walls reflect
the daily burden of
blood sizzling pain. I
warn you do not gaze
to long through the
Crystal Wall or you will
find yourself flabbergasted at
how we survive each day.
The Crystal Wall does
not lie, it shows the
truth, we may wear the
Mask to hide our
reaction to the life
stealing pain, but the
Crystal Wall is ever showing.
Virtuous Patience
Virtuous Patience
Angel’s, Saint’s, Mother’s and
Some say I have it…
Patience. I’m just an
Ambivert existing in an
Extrovert universe. O, virtuous
Patience why are you
Strenuous to fully reap?
With all the noise and
nuisances of this world…O
Virtuous Patience please find
Me! Patience is often at war
with anxiety and gratification.
Inhale the incense, listen
to the wind chime, the waves
upon the ocean and ultimately the
quiet for therein lies quietly
Virtuous Patience.
Gift or Prison
Gift or Prison?
High in the hills lies
A lonely mountain. In that
Mountain a bereft cave be.
It signs its song “Come and
Find yourself! Be at one with
The world!” Solitude it
shouts as its offering! Solitude
and Sanctuary. Alas, be ye
Warned for it is a double-
edged sword. There is darkness,
misery, and blood-crying pain aplenty
in this cave. Solitude is a
gift to be used wisely for
it is also a prison. High
in the hills awaits the
Gift of pain and prison
of Solitude
QRT
I’ve been QRT (ham speak for off the air) for about seven months now and I am missing the airwaves. My current situation doesn’t permit me a setup/shack area; I do have my HT, however, there is little activity and I’m in a propagation hole where my HQ is. Continue reading
Bridge of Victory
The Bridge of Victory
As I cross the bridge to
escape the darkness that
entraps me in a land that
I loathe, the bridge creeks
and moans its protest.
With tears sweeping down
my face and blood-stained
hands I inch ever closer
to the light and victory.
Pain, depression, and anxiety
want to trap me in this
land of darkness. I want to
surrender to the darkness,
but lo the light is ever
so close I can’t give up
my chance of victory. The
land of darkness tries
to twist the bridge
and make me tumble, but
I hold on for the I feel
the light of hope getting
ever closer! I will cross
this bridge of despair and it
will become my bridge of victory!
A Night Visit
I just got back from an adventure of serendipity. Tonight I went to Gulf Beach in Milford Connecticut. The surf was a little rough but it was still a few hours of serenity. It is amazing what a little time listening to the ocean does for one’s mental health. I highly recommend it to anyone. Continue reading
