  • Laughing to myself

    “No one is ever more him/herself than when they really laugh. Their defenses are down. It’s very Zen-like, that moment. They are completely open, completely themselves when that message hits the brain and the laugh begins. That’s when new ideas can be implanted. If a new idea slips in at that moment, it has a… Read more

  • I dreamed a dream

    I dreamed a dream that I was fish in a pond. I am a large fish because my spirit is large yet I swim without a care. I swim in waters that do not scare me and though I never know where I am, I know I am where I am supposed to be. I… Read more

  • The Work of Women

    I am getting worn out looking and watching the world. It is amazing to me the amount of pain I see everywhere I look. Everyone is angry or upset or lost in some type of drug induced stupor. What happened to our world? It seems the heat of this summer is reflecting a much deeper… Read more

  • Transmutation

    I hope you had a wonderful 4th. It was a hot day here but from my high-rise building I could see fire works going off all over the southern half of the state. We celebrated our Independence Day with great fury and then I went to bed. As I woke up this morning I felt… Read more

  • Hidden depths

    I was walking through the neighborhood again and started out on a trail and around a bend was this small body of water. It was nearly covered with this green growth stretching across the little lake. There was a small dock so I walked out on it and as I reached the end that dock… Read more

  • It has taken me almost a week to process the events of my daughters big day. The look of happiness on her face made every minute of so-called upset totally worth it. I was also blessed to be the officiant of the wedding of my daughter and her wonderful partner Jeremy. That Sunday evening was… Read more

  • Pathways and passages

    I was walking yesterday through another part of my neighborhood. It is my favorite thing when I am in a new location to walk through the neighborhood and learn all about it. This part I was in is a magical area where the houses are old and grand. It is the kind of neighborhood I… Read more
