The Muleskinner Journal
Long journeys. Hard roads. Good times.
The journey is long, and the road is hard, but that’s why we love it.
We publish stories and poems that keep things moving.
We deliver the goods. Right Here. For Free.

How’s it going?
Here in the new world, we are boom and bust…halfway home…fixed and broken.
We are cycling endlessly…spiraling up or down…trapped by the present moment…freed by the present moment…having and having not…watching our bank account…safeguarding our emotional stockpiles…consuming in the bipolar economy…managing the gas gauge…shielding our eyes from the stark contrast…squinting at the subtle differences…zigzagging toward the light…
We are empty becoming FULL and FULL becoming empty
