Katharine and Gizelle

When I was younger I used to go to work wearing no underwear. Sex in my late-20s was exciting, quick, performed without attachments. I allowed dick to satisfy my needs in order to mollify the guilt I felt for my same-sex preferences. When the AIDS epidemic came, promiscuity disappeared; we all got more conservative. We became automatons, our lives focused on work. Last week I started going to work with no underwear again. It felt exciting, It felt liberating. It felt good. Same job. 14th floor of the Kitzinger Building. Same elevator. Different things occupied my purses now. Same parking place. Different car. I'm still single. Still living in the nostalgic shadows of the love I had for my former boss--who'd long since retired. Still fantasizing about our love-making during our ever-so brief affair despite the fact that I haven't been with anyone for 30 years. I'm 62 now.

Twenty-four years later you are a Wisconsin-based massage therapist, an organic produce farmer, a music radio show host, and the author of ten novels across two series the Osiris Plan Trilogy and the seven-book American Apocalypse. That biography is not incidental to the work. It is work. Drew Fisher's visionary fiction portrays one possible rationale for th...

Introduction

Over the course of my lifetime as Drew Fisher I have had many, many encounters with life and lives outside of the Drew Fisher incarnation. Journeyman Paul is the name I have given to distinguish the over-riding entity common to many of the lives I've been privileged to glimpse into--including this current one. The purpose of this blog and its podcasts is to share with a larger audience stories of the discoveries of life beyond this current Earth-bound human perspective that Journeyman Paul has allowed me access to. Though I know there have been many lives that Journeyman Paul has experienced that I have not been given access to, I have come to realize that the lives I have been given access to are those lives whose stories have particular value to the journey Drew Fisher is on; I have not been given carte blanche access to any and every life that Paul has played roles in or which he has studied in his Bar-do (life-between-life) forms. The lives I've been given access to have pa...
