Yesterday, ha! Had forgotten a post was already written, scheduled; didn’t see the app updated with it listed. So wrote another, set it up to launch, that made two blog posts for one day. No matter, double the good for the day, 2 is better than none, gotta say. Fun to write, everyday. Feel more …
Mindset: COVID
Like living with cancer. LIVING WITH CANCER. Acceptance. It sometimes does not go away. Sometimes we have to live with it. Like this pandemic. Living with COVID. All the new realities. Like cancer: accept; evaluate; adjust; go forward. GO FORWARD. This life is meant to be lived; this life is meant to be experienced; live …
Ocean Therapy
I always seem to forget the value, the worth, the peace, of Ocean Therapy. Just being there, that’s all it really takes. The breeze, the water, the sound, the constant, demands attention, quietly, consistently, relentlessly there, of of it, insistent. How long could I sit there? One hour, six, twelve? Sun up until sunset? Waiting, …
Moonlight
Moonlight, bright light, midway in the sky. Bright light begins the journey east to west, near full, light the way. Six year old says it shines because of the sun, reflecting, her sister told her so. Bright light in the night sky, light the backyard campsite, keep us company throughout the night. Keep us company …
Some Devil, Some Grace
It’s a particular feeling, a particular strength needed, when your partner is struggling. When she struggles, it effects you, no wonder; how can it not? Those who don’t feel it, maybe they don’t feel, the same. When your partner struggles, seems put out, spun out, you’re on the outs too. He doesn’t want what you …
Connected?
Seems to me this idea’s come up before, seems to me it’s fundamental, being connected. It’s a technical thing on the one hand, “...VPN reconnecting...” tells you how fast you’ll need to work to catch-up, seconds, minutes tick by, the birds chirping in the yard a gentle solace. My children’s images on my screen, telling …
A.M.D.G.
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam or Ad majórem Dei glóriam, also rendered as the abbreviation AMDG, is the Latin motto of the Society of Jesus, an order of the Catholic Church. It means "For the greater glory of God." On this thirty-first day of July, designated by The Church as a feast day to celebrate Ignatius …
Lyrics Post: “Winds of Change” – Scorpions
Thirty years ago this song came out. It spoke to the times, spoke of change, spoke of one person's experience, mirroring the feelings of many. Including me. I was deep in that time of change. I had walked the same paths. Wondering. Longing. Wanting. Thirty years later, the song still captures that time, that hope, …
Stringer
On a truss, under a train, I remain, help me sustain the run. Near a year I’ve been showing up here, more frequent, daily, it’s been mainly, a nice string. Stringer of sorts, blogger, writer, whatever, the point is never, never stop jotting down, sharing out, living up to the dream, I mean, for a …
Fatal Flaw?
A lifetime of ups and downs; when I reflect back that’s what I see. I don’t suspect it’s anything special really; my experience like many other folks; in fact, I often reflect and return to the perspective that I’m particularly lucky, particularly blessed. And yet I’ve had my failures, aplenty. I’ve made mistakes; I’ve made …
