    Bryan Jensen

    Reading my writing is probably the best way to understand me. I'm a pragmatist, a Warrior, a Dad, and Lover to an amazing woman. I like to seek conflict in my life in order to grow, and change, and become something more than I was before. Along the way I write to organize my thoughts and record the journey. Perhaps I've found some wisdom that you can find useful. If you enjoy my writing please share it.

      Kids already asleep, the grownups sit out on the deck,a few empty cans, an open bottle of wine on the table, I’m sure, and stacked paper plates with half-eaten buns and dirty napkins.From my backyard next door, I can hear them, the living, chatting.
