My Name Is…
My name is Ryan Frary. I began this life with that name. I’ve had many names and nicknames. RJ, Boo-boo, Bubba, Frare, FrereBear and more. Each one whether given to me or created by me, captured a part of who I am, but never quite got the full picture. I always loved nicknames and titles.…

The body rests where it lays, My soul protests but here it stays We want movement and action these days But pausing is necessary for life, like the sun’s rays I’m not sure what to write about anymore. I had set all of my attention and energy on the fast and that journey, that I…

Fasting Day 37 of 40: Protection
As we move through our days we are bombarded with stories and news. Lines of gossip of who did what and with whom are on the news, in our phones and around our homes. It is subtle but this vein of energy is destructive in nature and causes us to draw our attention from our…
