I am reminded of the Hindu God, Ganesh this evening....the overcomer of obstacles. And Pan, lusty, randy, playfully serious Pan. Really half man half centaur, though I rather like this depiction of him. Both embody aspects I admire, Pan with his fertile nature and ability to beckon a crowd and Ganesh, for his knowing.....he [...]
I'm midway along this new adventure, a surgery in fact (and as my pal Lulu and I love to say, 'the details don't matter', as often they don't). I traveled to have some eye repair, my first reminiscant surgery when I was 7 years old, then 8. I'm in good care with a doctor I [...]
As I continue on this road of self discovery, really, discerning who I do and don't want hanging out in my ether space, I am at the same time cultivating a style for which to screen, negotiate and honor my sensibilities. I've always not only done my best to 'play fair' I have from time [...]
I'm seeing a pattern in things of late. One experience shining a light on another, then another and another.... ...which in turn shines a light on what I prefer, what I'll tolerate (or not) and, always, I'm finding, my desire to have events and people in my life fit somehow with me. But I'm finding [...]
For whatever cause which you feel needs rallying. I've quite a few frankly. Though my dogs have plenty of trees to occupy them where we live, I've got another bee or two in my bonnet, demanding I take action. Consider, how do you work to evolve the world into a place and space where you'd [...]
This week is a milestone week, for many reasons... I've known the tipping point was on its way...unsure in only impatient moments. But, a higher source noted its coming and I'm learning to trust that voice more and more. It's something when your mind, heart and spirit shift. It's like bursting from a cocoon! As [...]
I know the story in this short video. My friend April introduced me to her friend who performs one of the roles in this piece. A lovely heartful man. We all watched it together the other weekend. I get it. Sincerely, I do and I do and I do. I'd like to be one of [...]
Every day, a choice. Every moment, an opportunity. And tomorrow, a new start, if you'll allow that thinking. And you, golden, should you deem it so. I say, go for the gold-en.

I took a long awaited spin outside my surrounds this past Friday. Welcomed indeed. Hopping gleefully into my ready jeep, eager to hit the road, I felt giddy with excitement to take a break from what has felt like a very, very long winter, fall, summer and spring of last year. In fact, I was [...]
“If I could persuade myself that I should find God in a Himalayan cave I would proceed there immediately. But I know that I cannot find God apart from humanity.” ~ Gandhi I don't think I'd enjoy a Himalayan cave, but I think we need to find our own 'caves' of sorts when dealing with [...]
