I find myself in this swirly world, hard to find my footing. It feels a constant state of flux; the list is long and varied; I’m unsure what to do next. Frozen, eyes a bit unfocused, I ponder. Where, when, how? Silly thoughts abound. Even the simple things seem daunting; actions seem impossible. In this …

Record Entry _ LudLab: Primary Sources
Background: For sure I’ve had many teachers over the years who imparted positive attitude and resilience and belief on which I have built my foundation and source.

Revisiting Common Ground: Yin-Yang
My first memory of this image was a surfer logo from the 1980’s , Town & Country Surf Design used a version of the Yin-Yang symbol on their products. That look was all the rage for a long while! And that image sparked an interest years later in eastern philosophy; raised in the west and …

Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard …

Let the Middle Prevail
Crazy politics these last dozen years here in America, First MAGA, and now the Ascendent Left and Democratic Socialists, What’s a country to do? And not just here in these United States… Are these political waves slushing up both sides, all sides of the pool,, it was the Arab Spring in the Middle East, not …
Old School
Interesting what this phrase conveys, something like a throw-back, something like from the past. I think it also refers to things thought of fondly, maybe with some favorable nostalgia. Might refer to music or a venue or style of dress maybe… In my particular case this time it was an old restaurant in south San …
