Funny, I probably use the same title for this scribbled tribute every year, homage to my brother on his birthday, He, SLud, and me, JLud, brothers by good fortune, by chance, Was my dream sent long ago, and though it’s been different than expected, it’s been perfectly the way it should be, true reflection of …

Leap of Faith
Golf swing, somehow the mystery therein, lose sight of the ball somewhere in the backswing, Flipping quesadillas and pancakes on the stove-top, hope it lands on the hotplate, cook on, cook on, God stuff, pick your tradition, your beliefs, what makes sense, what rings true, what speaks to your souls, fortifies you, in the end …
Job One
As I’ve gotten older and now have more than 30 years into my career, many things are more clear about life and work. In the end it’s the people in your life that matter most, especially children, especially if they’re *YOUR* kids. A recent list left on my refrigerator sums it up pretty well. It’s …
Dreams In Motion
Dreams in motion, Like the ocean, None stop, At least sometimes, Crashing gently in my mind, in my room, throughout the night, Seems I need a potion, some elixir, to fix her, to set it, write, Scribble it down before I forget, A truck and a hitch and a knock on the door and that …
Audio
A recent realization: I prefer audio. The sounds, the stories, the crackles and pops. and slips and slops, the scratches and screeches, the imagination, the subtleties, it all gets me, grabs me, When I consider it deeply, this is really no surprise. I’ve come over to the radio versus TV mostly — I listen to …
Dream in Emotion
Just now, middle of the night, early morning I scribble this down, woke from a dream, vivid so vivid, Not just the images of practice cake and map and cousins from long ago, No no, not just that, but also the emotion of seeing them, of what an old friend would say and how that …
What I Do
What I do, what it’s become, these past couple of years, found stride, Scribble down every day, most every day, for every day, something come to mind. For me, for you, I hope it does something good, a turn of phrase, not just a phase anymore, Now become part of what I do, get it …
Leafy Greens
Eat a little better. Not that hard to find, to make, not that hard to do ... just gotta look for the opportunities, then get creative. Case in point. Recently made a Leek & Mushroom Torte for a holiday party. Recipe called for leeks (obviously), but only the white, onion-like part. Once you cut that …
Yearn To
Yearning, long I’ve felt this way, yearn to what, for who…? Yearn to be with her again, tho’ I don’t know any more who her is, Yearn to sleep deep, and late, can I anymore, will I any more? Yearn for peace and contentment and satisfaction and rest and respite and certainty, Yearn for certainty, …
Fellowship Found
I’ve written about this before I think, my particular belief about volunteering and fellowship. Time to have another go. Like many things, we enjoy them more when we do them with others. I think volunteering fits into this category. And I think therein is the core value of service clubs, the “getting together” to do …
