And this. From Isaiah 7:10: “…Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.”

He Is Near
As we barrel toward another Christmas, I’m mostly distracted. It’s piling up, the year-end pressure and demands at work, the bustle of getting gifts together for the kids, getting the menus together for three holiday meals, And on and on, And yet he is near, We celebrate the crossover time, When God came, and remains …
One Two Three Out
One two three, out and about, One two three, out of school, just no doubt, Out out out, It’s where to be, how to be, Out in front, on your list, your goals, things to do, Better that way I’m telling you, Match and sync and out you go, Out you go, don’t you know, …
Whatdayagot?
What da ya got in the end? The things you’ve learned, The joys you’ve felt, The mistakes you’ve made, The stories you’ve told, the stories you’ve written, the stories you’ve lived, The peace you’ve made The people you’ve loved, What da ya got? The people you’ve loved.
Special Spots
Like the coast, Like the mountains, the wilderness over all, Like the warm darkness of my morning meditation and exercise space, Like the dinner table with the kids, with a friend, At your desk getting a bit of work done, Scribbling down ideas on a parking lot in the cold night air, Sitting in the …

Simple Things
I wake up in the darkness; I feel unsure, uncertain of the next day, the next moment. Sometimes that darkness stays with me the whole of the day. I turn to simple things, repeatedly, to find light, and joy. A mix of temporal and permanent, these simple things. Fresh, hot coffee, The crackle of the …
Strange Solace
Working in the warehouse today, standing in-between the looming racks of material,pallets up high, down low, also looses boxes neatly stacked. I'm between PL1 and PL2. Gray, rainy day outside, much needed rain for our drought-stricken state. The weather turned wet yesterday, and is expected to continue throughout today. Near the location I'm working in …
Wound Up
People ask me at work, How are you doing? Of late it’s uniformly been, “Pretty wound up…” So much to do. So much all at once, And it doesn’t go away, So SO much, So much so, I prep then fall into sleep, where I want to be, Tucked away in slumber, Not all wound …
Not Alone, Busy Brain
Sweet slumber, gives way to Busy Brain. Unexpected; thought things were well in hand. Why does this happen? Why do our brains do this? Work, kids, bills, tasks, life comes trickle rushing in. This scribble at 243a, after an hour and a half of this and that ponder. A coupe of my colleagues at work, …
