I have no need for TV...unless I need some comedy in my life.....though I suppose comedy is in the eye of the beholder. A rotten egg can be comical if you like watching things decompose, fall apart, turn green then grey. I guess that could be comical. I'm stretching here. The human race embarrasses me [...]
I have some stories to tell. I do. They're from all the things I observe in any given day and ooooooh, I see EVERYthing! Ask my team at Carl House! The stories have been mounting up and if I don't share them, I may clog up and die, hardened arteries from lack of expression. A [...]
"Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought; our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks." - Samuel Johnson, 18th Century English writer Samuel Johnson knew....he knew about the 'push me, pull you cycle' which when released, frees up all manner of ease. (He was an erudite man indeed, writing [...]
With a hint of fall in the air, despite the interminable heat in Georgia, I know when I'm in transition, and I'm not talking the small moving from here to there sort of thing, but the kind when I stop BUYING furniture, and instead find myself moving it around in my house, at my business. [...]
'Don't be afraid to be outrageous; the critics will shoot you down anyway.' Sir Laurence Olivier It's true....working to please the world will just get you in one mess a trouble. My best friend 2Lu, (who has a milestone birthday this very day), tells me often to not have expectations and I'll never be [...]
I've been thinking a good bit about death lately. Of course we're all GOING to die....I don't know anyone who ultimately won't or hasn't. Certainly there are folks who work ardently in defying it....working to look young, stay healthy....all that. Well, I certainly have a measure of vanity and would prefer being a good looking [...]
"Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance." - Morgan Freeman, Actor I'm practicing.....but.....ooooh, ooooooh I gotta run....I've got to go.... I have an appointment. So, you see the challenge. Still amidst mayhem and travail. I'm a practicing 'stillness' artist, feeling flushed all the [...]
Necessary Losses, Necessary Humor... This week has presented all manner of choices in my world....mostly on the perspectives I might best adapt. We make plans, reach out, pull inside, rally a bit, rage perhaps, break down, stand up, smile, meet, call, sit, watch, dream, fall back, write, write, write, write....sleep, imagine, engage fantasy, move forward [...]
Summertime, and the living is.....busy, full, in moments hectic, swift and moving forward. No, no slow summertime hammock swinging these days, not for me. I am spinning a web of solutions...solutions for things that need them... So, I watch this mighty spider outside the door of my garage.....she shows me how to patiently weave and [...]
I've always produced. Always. I was making up skits and plays when I was 4, dressed in plastic high heels, often wore a cape like Mighty Mouse (from the cartoons), and would jump off chairs feeling rather 'mighty' myself. At one point I thought it'd be fun to be an elephant when I grew up, [...]
