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

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 …
Feeling Write
When I'm feeling write, I know it's the right time to scribble down, Down to it there are times when the thoughts and the words just flow out, Best to listen and let it be, words flow out when they come, My salvation, the inspiration to keep writing it all down, this life I live, …
Mathematically Grounded
Unhinged, flailing, a bit unsure how to regain purchase, find the ground? Weird to be in this situ, feeling, filling in the gaps, trying to pull-in, reset. Unexpected some, certainly unwanted, want to find even, steady, sure, There it is, in my son’s Mathematics Work from school…geometry, fractions… Connected, calm, somehow, peace, Just a little …
