Today was like driving an old truck up a dry creek bed....the ups and downs of emotions like bobbing buoys at sea. A line of thought came to me today... ....steam, turns to water, turns to rivers, turns to oceans, salty oceans teaming with life. I'm only building up steam, washing away the things and [...]
"The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned. It enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy." - Dietrick Bonhoeffer, German [...]
Music has quietly been a part of my life throughout the years. I'm not a collector but more a random 'stumbler' upon all kinds of music....I don't even know how to categorize it all. I've had times where I stopped listening to music for a spell, I wanted no outside noise or influence....and then other [...]
I have a dear friend who lives in Maine; I've spoken of her before, the lovely and talented Karen Montanaro, wife of my beloved late teacher Tony Montanaro. She is a seeker like myself. Our conversations would drive most anyone mad as we stay up late into the night bug-eyed considering thoughts in the realms [...]
Well, I am the person who just wrote about the challenge of my constant distractions. Yes, I am, (a dreamer....), I love to create cool stuff, can spend hours and hours in contemplation or writing about all manner of things, (useful or not), concocting adventures for sure, and entertainments, certainly dinner soirees with [...]
I'm in love! No, not him....he's not ready for me yet.....I'm in love with a fish, or rather, mammal. I'm not only in LOVE.....I want to BE a Beluga Whale. Just for a month or so. Well, maybe longer. A summer perhaps. There I was, busy with my day, dashing off to work, on the [...]
Know that things are brewing in my world and soon, everso soon I'll have fresh insights and rich stories to share...this is not just a hunch, this is a promise. And in the meantime, enjoy the robust and passionate music of a duet, folks I had the pleasure of interviewing on my former tv show....Jennifer [...]
I’m learning the profound difference between listening and hearing. I listen well, just don’t hear some things. I'm noticing when my defenses kick in and try as quickly as possible to become curious about it all....as the defensiveness is NEVER about the other person, just li'l ole me. Quite freeing to realize this actually. I [...]
To me, we're brought onto the planet to create, to fulfill our individual soul's purpose....AND we ALL have the inherent ability to create on some level. Just my theory. It might be by being the best cupcake maker in your neighborhood, or that you build sky scrapers like Howard Roarke or to manifest epic films [...]
While in high school I took a part time job at a near by nursing home, (what is the politically correct term now, something or other care facility)?? WhatEVER they're now called, this placed was filled with really old people. I worked with a group of rather merciless seasoned nursing care folks who would test [...]
