Quote from Suffer the Little Children:
"Perhaps what we call misfortune is actually a place where the universe interrupts our habits that keep life so limited and small, forcing us to respond differently. The opportunity it offers depends on how hard we work to close the gap or hold it open, allowing ourselves to glimpse realities we've never glimpsed before."

Quote from Dying to Know:
"I knew in that moment, we were never meant to surrender our childlike innocence, to trade a world in which we fit like a glove for one that hung on us like ill-fitting hand-me-downs. However, all about us insisted on our membership. And instead of a handshake or a mystical password as entrance into this spurious society, we agreed instead to share a lie, the one that says we’re safe, secure, and fulfilled living this way."

About
I'm a sixty-six-year-old woman who has lived a most eclectic life. It was just my nature to explore many types of work and the various lifestyles they evoked. My longest stay in any one place was a sheep farm in northern Alberta, a life I loved, but which finally came to a close, throwing me back into city life (Vancouver) and many difficult years that followed.
Along the way, I met a bevy of fascinating people and underwent a life that at times proved breathtaking and other times heart-stopping, but kept angling me toward an understanding I'd sought since early years. As long as I can remember, I was haunted by a desire to sort out the many contradictions that plague our lives and relationships as human beings. I referred to that study as human cosmology. Exploring it was the stage upon which everything else in my life played out; and year by year, my understanding deepened and continues to. I wouldn't change a thing, not the terrifying parts nor those that were pure gold. And each morning as my eyes snap open, I feel more a child now, than I have since I was five. This life is the stuff my books are made of, only the names have been changed to protect the idiotic. Don't kid yourself, no one is innocent.
Presently, I live in Huntsville, Alabama with my husband, Bert, a man who fascinates me more with each passing year. Both of us intend to bring you stories of everyday people exceeding themselves (bertcarson.com), reminding you of the wisdom and wonder that forever abide amidst our ever-present hardships.
