Welcome....
to the chaotic and often strange life of a Quasi, Clumsy Spiritual Warrior, Dan Abernathy. This is the weekly Newsletter where I share with you my voice, be it in words, art, or my collections of oddities, fascinations, desires and obsessions. Here I will make available 98% of all my perspectives, be they fluid and random, meandering and incomplete, or things I have completed and offering. They other 2% I keep to himself, archived and a gift for the scholars and naysayers to decipher later on. This will all be delivered to you via the web, whether I am roaming the road in his converted 1991 International school bus, The Chool Bus, home in Pinedale, Wyoming or briefly hanging my hat in another dusty corner of the world.

Hello This Morning!
“There are very important moments in time that someone is looking, listening and seeing.
At this moment, it is time to realize that your silence says just as much about who you are
as any words could.” - dbA
On The Road
The People’s Fair - Denver, Colorado
Had a great show last weekend, which marks the third year of doing this show. Reconnected with old friends and made some new ones. My booth was next to the park and the music and I might have even gotten a bit of a contact high from all the merrymakers! One of the coolest things that happened, was being asked by some great friend, Teresa Merriman from Westcliffe, Colorado, with Mind’s Eye Journals to be part of the intro to her Tid Bit Tuesday, a weekly video segment about journaling.
Please go see the website here,
and have a laugh at the intro here, https://www.facebook.com/mindseyejournals

Words Of Wisdom – Words of too Much Wisdom
Each moment of where I am, I inhale deeply. I breathe in every second around me, everything I can see and feel. I want to eject it all into my person now, as I won’t look back with a regret of wishing that I had. - dbA

Poetry from an Anti-Conformist and Outlaw Poet
Featured Poem of the Week
The Troubadours
Praise the troubadours
and their medieval ways.
These balladeers and misfits
help us look at the world
through extraordinary eyes.
This is the clan of vagabonds
where my heart
was conceived and born.

America in Distress
There are dangerous consequences about to be witnessed as we watch the commencement of anarchy rain on all that is. We sit like stringless puppets and do nothing but watch our politicians and rulers forget all moral principles as they degrade the living with false hope and deceit. - dbA
