Going astray was easy in those heady days rocked by Woodstock and groupies lazing in the limelight of nothingness I felt liberated from cagey traditions and floated free in beads and baubles unkempt, unwise and soaked in sin and ***.
That's when I met the Master himself at a midnight rendezvous in a quiet chapel the night of January 7,'73 It rocked my world with wonder.
Here was an escape route from slow descent into darkness and I took it. The return was slow but steady upwards, even as I mended all the broken parts of my life.
The before and after of the same coin still cha-chings on and off but sensibility returned and once the fences were fixed and the lights switched on the journey to recovery was quickened by reason
Today as I look back, the dark side of me still beckons but the bright side draws me into a place that has more meaning. I am here to stay.
