'It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.' – Saint John of the Cross A friend sent that quote to me the other week. Wisdom, knowledge and choice, to me, is freedom....assessing where your time is [...]
Freedom of choice is a good thing....a VERY good thing when you can manage it. We're all responsible for our choices, eh! I'm liking mine today. Me and Ernie 'at the office'....(you will see my computer screen in the distance). I am filled with gratitude. BB Webb
It might mean your heart changes. Or that you let go of an old way of being. That you finally did what you've been intending for so long but didn't quite know how. Or that God, the Universe, that awesome essence, light, power, jump-started an initiative for you. Or maybe you just decided to stop [...]

News alert to my psyche...hope (the context I know) is dangerous. I'm sitting with an awareness this morning of what a therapist I used to 'hang out with' called, 'the hungry ghost'. This ghost, to me, is the one that holds on to some belief, some aspiration of change, transformation, illusion, (mostly in others) [...]

I miss Glenn Miller. The [...]
