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 …
Abbreviated: I Believe In Relationship
Relationship is fundamental for me. If I’m not connected to the people and things around me I don’t feel settled; If I’m in relationship, I feel at ease, grounded. It’s been that way on the playground, the schoolyard, the classrooms, the teams, and the companies I’ve been a part of. Pretty well the whole of …
New Beginnings
Gonna start again, Already did, Time and time again, New beginnings.
Living With The Crazies
My crew, living with the crazies. 10, 8, 7. At times I get their names mixed up during the hustle and bustle of day to day. They drive me a little koo-koo sometimes, but I know I do the same to them. That’s living together; that’s family. They sing and dance and laugh and tell …
Lyrics Post: “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll”(originally by Arrows), Joan Jett
All those years ago until now this song still rocks, this gal Joan Jett still rips it~ Was reminded of this recently when I heard my younger daughter singing this song. There’s renewed hope for humanity. : - ) “I saw him dancing there by the record machineI knew he must have been about seventeenThe …

Random GOOD
Get random good, got random good, take it when you get it, random good. Insight from the unexpected side, unsure why, void of any pride, Urning, churning through the day-to-day, Then pause for a little random good, if it finds you, don’t pass it by, Don’t look for it, just be open to it, it’ll …
