Miscellaneous GOOD
Cheater? No, just miscellaneous good, Find it anywhere, It IS everywhere, You just have to be looking for, aware, ready, No matter the circumstance, It’s out there, Right here, GOOD.
Pursuing Justice
As long as humans have organized and lived in community, maybe even longer, I suspect we’ve pursued some sense of justice. All over the world, in every country, it happens: striving for Justice; longing for Justice; fighting for Justice; keeping the faintest flame of Justice lit even in the face of overwhelming, crushing suppression. Here …
Inspiration Everywhere
Quite removed from football these days, decades, too many other things demanding time, attention, oxygen, Still the San Francisco Forty Niners are my team, follow the season some, catch parts of games when on TV, Honed in on this Niner Running Back recently, inspired by this guy, his effort, his story, Jordan Mason, piecemeal college …
Change It Up
Sometimes it might be helpful to change things up. Diet, routine, schedule, pace, plans, expectations, experiences, Step outside the well-worn lines of normality and comfort and obligation, Do the unexpected, try another way, push pause on the obligated choice, choose differently, It may not go perfectly, maybe not at all, but it also might just …

Ever adjusting, Like when your son is diagnosed with autism …
ALL Metta
Boiled down mantra, For my kids, For all kids, For everyone, For a better everyday, Like so: “Slow Calm Quiet At Ease.”
Snippet Work
Learning to work in snippets, a true life skill that will serve you well. Snippet, a little bit, something special; the skill to work in bits, for sure something special. And clarifier if you will, By work I mean chores, professional work, reading, writing, just about anything… For most of my life I’ve thought (mistakenly) …
Raw Moment
I think most of my posts on this site are 100% honest. At least that’s what I strive for. Observations, perspectives, facts for sure…and honesty…truth. It’s all intended to be completely forthcoming. And that’s what I deliver. Sometimes in addition to being honest, it is a bit raw, more unfiltered. Here’s one. After two marriages …
