The Written Path
A journey of growth through writing—poetry, prose, and the transformative power of words. Weekly reflections on resilience, lessons, and life’s enduring challenges.
Finding healing through words on a page, from battlefield memories to poetic reflection. A raw and honest journey through war stories, personal poems, and the therapeutic power of putting pen to paper.
Finding peace after war, one mountain at a time.
How mountains shaped my journey from survival to healing. Trading the harsh lessons of the Hindu Kush for the gentle wisdom of the Colorado Rockies
Carrying the weight of fallen brothers across mountain ranges of memory; honoring their sacrifice by learning to live fully in the years they never had.
A reflection on identity, transformation, and the ghosts we carry.Some fractures never fully heal—but maybe they don’t have to.
Through the wreckage of loss and war emerges a harder wisdom - the understanding that some truths, once learned, become permanent passengers on life's journey.
A story about brotherhood, late night phone calls, and the distance we'll go to make sure we don't lose another one.
When Death comes knocking in the quiet hours, we share bourbon and memories of faraway mountains. Till another midnight, till another conversation, till we meet again in Valhalla's halls.
Between darkness and dawn lies a truth about transformation - that we are not just what breaks us, but what we become in the breaking.
It wasn't supposed to be the last one - just one of the last. But war doesn't care about "supposed to be."
Conversations with the man in the window. Between the shadows of who I was and the person who I'm becoming.
A ritual of remembrance, measured in bourbon and memories. A tribute to brothers lost, whose stories live on in the amber depths of a glass poured in their honor.
The echoes of the past don’t haunt us—they guide us. In their shadows lie lessons of resilience, courage, and the enduring light that shapes how we live today.
