Time is the friend who heals all things. Or the enemy who dries them to dust. Time flies, marches on, drags or stands still; each tick answered by the tock of passing moments. Time is stolen – and once in our possession, is frittered away. Our biggest comfort is spending time. But doing time is […]
I’ve had it with distracted drivers. Too many folks are texting, putting on makeup, even eating while behind the wheel. Crawling along crowded streets. Racing down freeways. Dragging the rest of us along, they’re accidents on their way to a happening. I’ve had it and I’m spoiling for some Face Time. That’s right. I’m seeing […]
Stuff happens. Sometimes it’s bad stuff. Sometimes it’s bad stuff we bring upon ourselves. Mistakes. We all make them. But each of us responds to them differently. I hate making mistakes. So when I’ve made one, I make darn sure I get the most out of it. No burying it under the rug. Why trip […]
Change is inevitable. Change is unavoidable. It is our collective past choices that determine the direction and result of change. Those collective choices put some of us square in the eye of a hurricane, and others of us thousands of miles away from where it strikes. Those choices land some of us in the lap […]
Words. A picture is said to be worth a thousand of them. Use a comment to share a few.
Fathers and Mothers; Children, Friends and Lovers; we all deserve to live in love. Love is strength and passion; gentleness and mercy. It takes the best in each of us and reaffirms us all.

When leaders protect only their own interests, they sacrifice our well-being to meet their own ends. Do not despair. We have a place of safety and it is […]
Another of my bait-and-switch posts – not that kind of pot. 😀 Nor am I referring to our modern cooking pots. The pots I truly love are those that were made over the centuries by people now long gone; who sat at their potters’ wheels molding clay with patience and artistry. When their pots dried, they decorated and […]
Just into my forties, mid-career; hotly pursued by footsteps. Closer, closer. Soon they’ll be upon me. Ascending the pyramid, I’m approaching the top. The climbing gets harder. Vertical musical chairs. Only in this game, failure to get a chair ends a career. The dilemma: reach for the next level or hold on to the chair at […]
Each of us sees life through an emotional prism. The light refracted through it colors our every thought and act. It may be that some of the colors are of pain. It may be that some of us are, in some ways, ‘walking wounded’. The phrase, ‘walking wounded’, is a medical term, originally used to refer to those […]
