What fills the void? Not sure, what do I mean? In your personal time? In your work time? In your soul? The times when things seem unsettled, uncertain, a little {or a lot} empty. I find it’s things, the little things, day-to-day, these are the things that fill the void, that make it all worth …

A Week In Pictures
What a week; so many different aspects; here are some of the highlights. Early up, more often; helps sooth the anxieties of the day. Halloween is coming; decorations in the neighborhood. One of my favorite bands from long ago; listened anew; it was great. That debate; WOW; I wish I’d had a bit of whisky …
Turmoil? What You Might Do
Pandemic life? Economic downturn? Might just be the best time to start a business. How to come up with an idea? The old adage is true: SOLVE A PROBLEM. That is the essence of a business. The true entrepreneur is the hero's story. Joseph Campbell paints it well, the parallels, the path. Of this pandemic …
Lyrics Post: “Stairway to Cleveland”
Another one to thank my brother for, or at least, for the reminder. I think he heard this band from me originally. We were pretty young. Sorting out our parents’ music, classic rock and roll (at the time), heavy metal coming up, and early 80’s sound. This band was from the SF Bay Area, so …
In the Wake of Debate
What did we learn tonight? Anything new? Two candidates trying to make a case, who’s case? Hard to tell. Attacks attacks attacks. Rude, and rude in reply. Off topic, off the rails, unhinged, unraveled. One thing I took away, one thing again and again: I want a president who will lift up the country, lead …
Math: Break It Down
It's like a never ending puzzle, doing math problems. There's always another problem, always another bunch of numbers to fiddle with. Numbers are infinite, and so are the possibilities. My dad was a math teacher. In point of fact, his college degree was in Mathematics. He was good at it. And he loved to help …
Back to the Wild
It was such a success, we did it again. Such a simple act, readily accessible, waiting for you, for me. We were out on a pedal boat, sparkling gold, something like the sun off the water. Greens and blues and birds, several types. Lucky to have the chance to be on the water. Lucky to …
Find the Wild
Go to the wild, it’s waiting for you. It’s a place to pause, to return to the beginning. It’s a place that’s easy to get to; it doesn’t take much. It’s a place where we can experience a touch of the Devine, maybe more than a touch. It’s a place to find God, if you …
Day, Waning
We can all feel the easy peace this time of day affords. If only we take the time. Pause after the work day, let the dishes sit a little while longer, turn off the screens [unless you’re writing a blog post 🙂 ], step outside. Feel the breeze, listen to the wind chimes sing. Relish …
Not Much
[Note: Thursdays have typically been a day to post song lyrics on this blog. This time around, I was inspired with the following thoughts, so went this route instead. Enjoy.] Not much more than a bit to keep me holding on, Not much more time I need to figure it out, not much more to …
