This phrase on a plaque on the wall in my kitchen reads in part “…with all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.” Finding little bits of good out there, things that happen, those are little bits of good too. We shouldn’t overlook them or wave them off. Like this …

Over Ambitious
I tend to be over ambitious, expecting, thinking I can do more than I can, in any given amount of time, the variety, the complexity, no matter… I can get it all done… Until I can’t, then egg on face, Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, and resetting to real… Real sure I can get it all …
Channeling Sheeran
Writing like a madman, so much to say, creative force with a shock of red on top, all covered in colors, Music and lyric seem to pour out of Ed Sheeran, so fun to listen and watch it happen, My writing difference, not musical, but times the same when it just pours out, pours out, …
So Many, So Much More
This theme on repeat in my head, especially today, so many people struggle and suffer so much more, Current season, practice refreshed, reseeded, pause mid-day prayer, whispered words, a few moments of recall, Recollecting all those living in war zones, All those living with cancer, All those battling their inner demons, mental health spun ‘round, …
Lean In
Lean into the hard stuff, those tasks you don’t want, those things you’d rather avoid, Timeless wisdom, on repeat many years now, still I find that it’s a massive mountain to overcome sometimes, Sometimes so steep, silly situation I can’t completely explain, something none-the-less challenging, unrelenting, stiff, Then, slowly I reset, trying to balance it …
War Pigs
These lyrics, over time and space, ring so true… Written when I was very young, then part of my early introduction to early heavy metal … And I loved the riff and strangely, the lyric as well… And now some fifty years later, so many wars I’ve seen from afar, so much death and distraction …
Talarico
A simple and successful campaign message: Build unity against billionaires who want to divide people, Build on the power of love, Have the willingness to embrace political differences, And welcome independents and Republicans into the fold, Let’s find a way forward together, I’m down with that.
Numbers: 18.321
Chasing this number every week, twice a week, truly, miles per gallon in my 1999 SUV, 309 miles a week at min, commuting, et al, micro-efforts to carefully manage my rig on the road, Funky ways I associate numbers, chase the digits, this one example… GOOD.
XL, More Please
Considering my thought process about things, so much time do I spend in my head, actively reflecting, mulling over, comparing and contrasting… I was thinking about how I select garments. Yes, you heard it right, garments, clothes, pieces thereof; I think there is some broader, implications, or insight that I discern from that particular process …
Out Of The Deep, The Light
Funny thing, sleep, three phases to consider, all we must keep. I love sleep so much, my shelter, my respite. There’s Deep Sleep, and REM, Light Sleep too. The Light Sleep Phase is where we spend most of our time when we sleep; the Deep Sleep Phase is where our body gets the most rest …
