When it's time, how interesting to feel the lights go out in areas of our house, our hearts, our souls. Maybe not altogether, but certain things which had a shiny allure, dim, as that's what happens as we shift to other things calling forth our attention, our passions, our hearts and interest. And when those [...]
I've been out of my own pocket lately...diverted by a number of keen surprises, epiphanies of late really. My earlier surrender, post meltdown, catapulting me into new territory which has me both delighted and standing a bit quiet amidst the flurry of 'little me's' scurrying about, running around me in a smidge of a [...]
Consider this. If you tune in, really tune in to what is unfolding in your life, can't you feel when things are shifting and turning, realigning in a sense. I'm not just talking when things seem to feel better, or you start getting along with your wife, or you get hired to a more fitting [...]
I felt it....this morning. Unable to sleep....doing my toss-turn-flop-head churning-dreaming thing I do when I can't sleep. (it's the dogs and their incessant licking that woke me.....oooooh, my pups....CLEAN pups)! Okay, Mercury's in retrograde (and more specifically, here)....my friend Louise keeps me up to date with such things. I'm never sure what that means though [...]

(He was an erudite man indeed, writing [...]
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 [...]
The key, I am finding, is listening. The 'answers', if you call them that, the clues, signs, signals, guides, are everywhere. We just need to pay attention, to listen. I've had another test to my own faith in navigating through yet another (what I call), creative 'funk'. You know what I'm talking about, surely. [...]
