A Farruggio Original: For Her the Bell Tolled
You could easily state that like millions of others born into this world she never had a chance. Call it Karma or Fate or just a poor roll of the dice, but she got the short end of the stick after being born. She was the last (at that time) of a line of eight children...
Farruggio ’28- Let’s Start Early {Part I}
The passing of the torch of One Party/Two Party government has begun. Now, don't get me wrong folks, this MAGA return to power is definitely the 'Stronger of two evils'. No doubt about it, from more tax cuts for the Super Rich, mass deportations of low wage farm...
The Sickness
I lost the love of my life of 34 years to a sickness a few months ago. The sickness was the Big C that destroyed her body and her will over a 8 month period. So many tens of millions of my fellow citizens have been sent away due to this and other sicknesses. So many...
Be Strong?
I found this email to Stacy a few days after we found out she had Lung C and in the hospital. Tue, Aug 12, 2025 at 4:00 AMMy love,I will go back to sleep soon. I just want to tell you how much you mean to me. I know you always may have felt that I favored my sons over...
The Goodbye Kiss
You never ever experienced seeing someone die in front of you... never in all your many decades of existence. Then, as fate always plays its cards, you sit with the one you love more than any other, and you watch them say goodbye. Well, they don't say it,...
I Am You
I Am You The soul knows no color Except golden sacred energy The energy chooses the flesh As vehicle for its expression. The skin peels off, like paper No magic does it possess Yet the soul transcends mortality Carrying a wisdom no body can accept. From where does all...
No Holiday for the Indentured
Well, the propaganda they sell us like soda water is that 'We are a free country and everyone has the opportunities to succeed in life.' Ok, and since we are immersed as a nation in the quicksand of non unionism (less than 7 % of private sector workers are in unions)...
The ‘Emotional/Spiritual’ Connection
A forty two year old man who never experienced a true successful partnership in his life, whether in business or in romance, and a thirty two year old single mother who shared this situation, met and quickly fell in love... Just like that. Yes, to all the therapists...
That First Kiss and Sigh
It's funny how, with many people who fall in love with another, it takes time to realize. They meet, have a drink or coffee together, test the waters with that person for a few meetings or ' Dates', and maybe after a few weeks or months they say to themselves " I...
A Farruggio Original: The Personal Ad
One of the major theorems in the study of metaphysics is that ' There are NO coincidences'. So it was that autumn of '91, when I ran one more personal ad in the Long Island Newsday. I had run a few earlier personals and they were quite expensive... at least for a...
I Want a ‘ Do Over’!!!
Remember when we were kids in the glorious 50s and 60s, and there were arguments during a game? Instead of coming to blows we just agreed to have a ' Do Over'. What happened was erased and we played it all over again. Well, I want a ' Do Over' for a few things. The '...
On Sweet Hearts
You take those two words, put them together and you have what this writer was lucky to experience. Funny, or perhaps not so funny, how so many of us never can feel the emotion of being that close to another. It is , from the dawn of civilization, simply labeled as...
Hope Springs
"A George Bailey seeking his Mary" was the beginning of the personal ad I ran one October in '91 or '92. Some minor things one forgets like that. It is the important or shall I say ' Vital' things that one never loses memory of. As with the connecting with my Soul...
The Breakthrough
The Breakthrough There is an angel floating by my shoulder whispering as I sleep I can hardly hear it yet I know it's there. These are forces all about our illusion breathing through the ethers they touch our souls they tickle our spirits. God is all around asking...
Memorial for the Sins of Empire
All the flags are out on many of the homes throughout our nation. The American flag is a wonderful symbol of the fact that we are nation composed of 50 states with a melting pot of too many different cultures to even list. Sadly, our flag has been hijacked by those '...
A Farruggio Original: The Puppy Lady
We used to go walking every AM through our neighborhood. The two of us liked to do a rather ' Brisk Walk' for the 30 minutes we allotted. Well, what transpired was me walking in circles every five or ten minutes as my better half was stooped down petting one of our...
(NO) Sympathy for the Devils
We, in 2026 Amerika, are nothing more than the lyrics to a great song by The Rolling Stones. Jagger lays it all out in this 1968 retort to the evils of this our Amerikan Empire. Did I just say 1968? Imagine dear children, students of mine, how nothing had changed by...
Losing My Love… Losing My Country!
This writer just lost, literally, 'The Love of my life', an Angel I was married to for 33 years. There is nothing anyone can explain as to how deeply saddened one becomes at losing a lover, confidante, companion, sidekick, business partner, and best friend in an eight...
Nowhere to Run…
You want to get a real jolt of R&B energy just put on the 1965 hit by Martha and the Vandellas 'Nowhere to Run'. What instills my hope in the magic of Karma (What you sow ye shall reap) is watching this Trainwreck of a President and his regime operate. I should go...
The Angel Who Earned Her Wings
They do walk amongst us, the Angels. In human form we can see them as the nurse who cares for the sick and dying with such compassion. The first provider who rescues the drowning survivor or trapped traveler. There are more of them than we ever recognize, these...
The Love
There was a line from the great 1970 film I Never Sang For My Father that captures what this writer is experiencing at this moment. That powerful and timeless sentence is "Death does not end a relationship." So it is with the true love of my life, Stacy Lynn, who...
The Transition
When I just notified one of my oldest friends, Joe, he said it best: "There is no death. It's a transition." At 7:01 AM this morning my best friend, intimate and business partner, Stacy Lynn, transitioned. We knew that this was approaching, more intensely this past...
Caring
Webster's defines caring as 'Displaying kindness and concern for others'. How well put that is. Funny how poets, philosophers and religious and spiritual teachers always mention LOVE as the glue that binds us... and it should. Yet, to this writer the essential word...
Dying
There is love. Sometimes powerful as a wonderful sunrise. Sometimes on a vacation from the two of you. Yet, it never leaves for good, even as the doorway to heaven awaits one of you. Remarkable thing this Love. How transcendent, how forever it can be. No scientific...
