What did we learn tonight? Anything new? Two candidates trying to make a case, who’s case? Hard to tell. Attacks attacks attacks. Rude, and rude in reply. Off topic, off the rails, unhinged, unraveled. One thing I took away, one thing again and again: I want a president who will lift up the country, lead …

Math: Break It Down
It's like a never ending puzzle, doing math problems. There's always another problem, always another bunch of numbers to fiddle with. Numbers are infinite, and so are the possibilities. My dad was a math teacher. In point of fact, his college degree was in Mathematics. He was good at it. And he loved to help …
Back to the Wild
It was such a success, we did it again. Such a simple act, readily accessible, waiting for you, for me. We were out on a pedal boat, sparkling gold, something like the sun off the water. Greens and blues and birds, several types. Lucky to have the chance to be on the water. Lucky to …
Find the Wild
Go to the wild, it’s waiting for you. It’s a place to pause, to return to the beginning. It’s a place that’s easy to get to; it doesn’t take much. It’s a place where we can experience a touch of the Devine, maybe more than a touch. It’s a place to find God, if you …
Through The Darkness, Light
Out walking early, it’s long been a staple of my sanity, my peace. With work life spooled up, home life under a new paradigm, and pandemic life washing over it all, well...I need to find peace where ever I can find it. It’s reliable, predictable, much needed, early morning peace. It calms me. Walking prayer …
Day, Waning
We can all feel the easy peace this time of day affords. If only we take the time. Pause after the work day, let the dishes sit a little while longer, turn off the screens [unless you’re writing a blog post 🙂 ], step outside. Feel the breeze, listen to the wind chimes sing. Relish …
Not Much
[Note: Thursdays have typically been a day to post song lyrics on this blog. This time around, I was inspired with the following thoughts, so went this route instead. Enjoy.] Not much more than a bit to keep me holding on, Not much more time I need to figure it out, not much more to …
A Couple of Tunes
A couple of tunes helped make the difference tonight. The first was on repeat as I started the after-dinner dishes. We got this party started. PINK. Meal with the kids, a typical dad dinner: New York beef hot dogs, and vegetable options: tonight it was green beans, carrots, or corn. Dessert was simple, treats mom …
Holy Hour
It happens most often during the 3am hour. Lying in the darkness, mostly asleep, shifting my head, feeling for a more comfortable spot on the pillow. If there’s a lot going on — and in 2020 it seems that way most every day — my brain might start to churn. To-Do’s, Things Done, and often, …
