Had it over the weekend; the once every ten years booster for Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, “Tdap”, they call it. A little unexpected, aches and pains, knocked a little off kilter. Whatever, I believe in the science and medical conventional wisdom of vaccines and boosters. Get the flu shot every year, maybe since college. Early on, …

Find God Everywhere
In the toughest days, sometimes sneaky tough, unexpected, I seek God. Not sure what that means sometimes. Habit. In the dark, uncertainty, seeking God. Devine guidance, affirmation. Seeking relief, answers, understanding. In quiet concession, agreement, unexpected generosity. Need a little more, give a little more, fill the gap. Ask and you shall receive. Seek and …
Not Write, Must Write
Circle of my life, write now. It constantly, consistently lifts me up, not sure why. Gets it out, share out, is that the trick? It happens so quick. Write now, do it now, find thee at somehow to scribble down, Let the ideas, the stream flow, don’t you know, The power, Must write, now.
Medvedev: A Few Thoughts
The stars aligned, got to watch the final few games of the US Open. Homage to my dad in a way, as he was a lifelong tennis player and coach. Medvedev’s Triumph; inspired. I didn’t know the struggles; all the more respect, first Grand Slam Win. Really fun to watch the win. The funky celebration, …
Lyrics Post: “Let Her Cry”
The words don’t all match, but the sentiment does. It’s happened twice for real, a couple practice besides. It sucks. But it’s part of life too. Let her cry. "Let Her Cry" She sits aloneBy a lamp postTrying to find a thought that's escaped her mindShe says Dar's the oneI love the mostBut Stipe's not …
Democracy, Low and Slow
Duties as assigned. Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters (ROV). Volunteering to get the vote in. The last mile. Election Night. 100 vote centers, 100 cars inbound with sealed ballot bags. People meander in and out of the ROV building, dropping off ballots. Cars slowly creep through the parking lots. There’s a nice breeze. I …
Dig Deep
Gotta do it every day, dig deep. Difficult is normal, it’s the usual, When it comes up, don’t think it’s hard, that it’s unfair, instead, accept it, It’s part of the gig called life, the day-to-day, how it goes sometimes, maybe often. Life is hard, It’s the usual, you need to dig deep, not unexpected, …
Tick Through
Tick tock, click goes the clock, Easy day underway, no alarm, awaken as you may, Wide open on all sides, step by step, so much to do, can do, should do, tick through, tick through. Did, come what may, lots did, lots to say, About so many things, points, ideas, dreams, And struggle and pain …
Imagine It Good
When it bumps along, things unsettled, uncertain, I imagine it good. Pain and suffering, frustration and failure? I try and I try and I try until I do, until I imagine it good. Being with others helps. Experiencing love in a little, unexpected way, it help. Deep breaths help. And then eventually, I reset. I …
