Words I have Learned to Live by have become an inherent imperative for me. Words such as Apostasy (to rebel against), Atonement (a reconciliation with God), Trust ( a transparency to live by), and Forgiveness ( seeing the world view on a deeper yet simpler plane), and I am learning more. Today, the word has…
TRUST
Tonight I shall be gentle with me. I am not perfect, though I am wonderfully created. I follow scripture when I can. I read and retain A Course in Miracles. I aspire to be honest, trusting, transparent, faithful, and with courage. This is just the beginning for a child of God to aspire, as well,…
MY JOURNEY INTO THE NUPTIAL MYSTERY: THE HYPOSTATIC UNION FOR ESPOUSAL LOVE – ENCOUNTER WITH HOLINESS
John Gregory Evans © 2020, Boise, ID. The Beginning of Encounter My intimate personal story and experience born October 13th, 1954, only eleven short years after the horrific bombing of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the hidden tortures of the Holocaust. Little did I know between 1959-1960 I would be moving to a small German village near…
Reading Rita Dove’s Boccaccio: The Plague Years
Each day, each night, upon the southern island that reaches out to the Gulf of Mexico, the clapboard beach houses raise their tunes of flying fish, slapping hard upon the water’s edge. I was two, perhaps, younger. My memory slips into a time of a golden astonishment, white sand that stings as a round, translucent…
VOCATION
Vocations may come and go. As Barry Lopez states, "I think of the dignity that is ours when we cease to demand the truth and realize that the best we can have of those substantial truths that guide our lives is metaphorical - a story….Beyond this, that the interior landscape is a metaphorical representation of…
A Quiet Manifestation of Love
I have discovered the perennial wisdom of women supersedes all I learned thus far into deeper places within my heart and soul. In fact, I lay witness to women as my guiding light to Christ and the holiness of the Divine within me. My experience with the Voice at age fifteen (a woman’s voice), loud…

Photojournalism: Not Just Another Passion
Sitting in my high school library in 1970 my thoughts were of photojournalism as I blankly stared out the window nearly facing direct sunlight.

Spinal Con-fusion
Spinal Con-fusion: A Combat Therapy By John Gregory Evans © 5/12/2020 8:25:38 AM There remains a deadened, freezing, almost an anesthetizing sense of dread upon my fingertips and hands, reaching deep into my leg’s nerves, shattered spinal cord, peeled away as one peels an orange. Walking, now a challenge, con-fusion of the fusion, cervical cord,…
A Foreign Affair
Loneliness has a colorful appeal, Let us call it red, parted maws, lonely from a journey to freedom instead, A relinquished mass of peoples juxtaposed, liberty sows not upon this troubled land, a promise not to the populace cram.
