1980. I was coming of age with music, trying to make it my own. Ronnie Montrose, and his second band...love this one from that San Francisco band, Gamma. “Did you ever see a man with no heartBaby that was meJust a lonely, lonely man with no heartCan you set me free? I can breathe, I …

Fish Out Of Water
Feeling like a fish out of water. Things changing on many sides, all sides it seems almost. Pause, Deep Breathes, Adapt, Adjust. So much the mantra of the moment. Good thing to remember during these sorta times? Eventually the fish started to breath air, and walk on the ground.
Write Now, It Feels GOOD
I was talking to a friend recently, someone who pretty much thinks and writes for a living. She's an attorney, so she's deep into it: notes and briefs and opinions and...well, I'm not sure what all else (I should ask her!). And we were talking about writing in general -- at least that's how I …
Flutter
Things a flutter as week under way, lots to do, lots to say. Usual start, early, in the dark, step step to the start, flutter along. In the mix now, inside all aflutter, one step at a time all the same, to the better, Better side, calm the flutter, do another, and another, forward forward, …
Bridge
Big and small, long and short, we cross them all the time. Bridging time, past to present, present to future. Bridging time and memories and feelings and desires and who we were, thought we were, want to be in this moment. Bridge the music and the sounds and the feelings poured in and poured out, …

Snippets of GOOD
From an old friend, this quote, recently shared. I think it stands pretty well on its own. Enjoy. I did. Do. "As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, …
A Child’s Wisdom
“This is peaceful” - Levi, my son, as we walked the woods recently with his sisters. Wind in the trees, sound like rushing water. So close to the metropolis of a million people, yet a world away too. Well-worn dirt paths, trails much traveled, loved. These places, those I want to insure my children know, …
Lyrics Post: “The Trees”
Timeless, and fitting. “There is unrest in the forestThere is trouble with the treesFor the maples want more sunlightAnd the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples(And they're quite convinced they're right)They say the oaks are just too loftyAnd they grab up all the lightBut the oaks can't help their feelingsIf they like …
Blog Like A Tweet: The Return Of Busy Brain
My grandma used to wake up in the middle of the night and work on crosswords or read when she couldn’t go back to sleep. I find myself micro-blogging instead. Would like to get another hour or two of sleep before launching into the busy day ahead. Maybe that’s why I’m awake. Busy day ahead. …
