First Journey



Would have been from birth in Dublin in the 40s until my recruitment into the fledling Mexican religious order Legion of Christ on July 1, 1961 at the age of 17

This first journey, growing up in Dublin, will be described -together with the second journey - in my soon to be released Memoir, Our Father who art in...

Second Journey



The Second Journey
by O'Collins, Gerald, a book
given to me by Dec in December 1984 helped me through the crisis of leaving Fr. Maciel and the Legion of Christ, leaving that second -oppressive- womb, and transitioning out of my prolonged youth into manhood. It was a bumpy trip. But no regrets. I did it my way!

My Third Journey



The Third Journey would be from my arrival in Washington DC in February 1985 to the present moment: recovery, wellness, building a new life, a new career, biting off more than I can chew, eating and digesting it somehow.

Reaching a certain plateau of wellbeing. Emotionally and spiritually better than ever before, and with the Grace of Life and Health. At that stage where I don't need to prove anything to myself or others. I already slew the dragon.
