Any writing not labled or titled by any other person was written by Kyle B. Epperson. The funny thing is, I am but a conduit used for universal expression. I, really, have no deep connection with most prose or poetry written in this record. Yeah, some writings and poems are colored by my personal experiences but they are written in a universally applicable fashion. I have tried writing purely personal poems, cannot be done, or done well. The closest I have come to affecting a successful, purely personal poem “Second First Step“, is still written of my experiences of and during my recovery. The whole “two minds” phenomenon comes to mind. Separating consciousness and higher mind from the interactive 3D focused mind. It is unnervingly cool to ascertain such differences and see them in action.
