In the End It’s True…
After all the struggle and strife, it's true. And too, I find wisdom im many perspectives. "There is an Arabic proverb which says that "Peace comes from understanding, not agreement." Agreements are more easily broken than made; but understanding never. It is urgent, therefore, and in the interest of peace, that there be better understanding …
Beach Jottings
Beach Jottings 13, our lucky number these days of family vacation together. California coast, between Santa Cruz and Monterey, house, ocean, sand, good. Eight adults, five kids, three families stem from one. Feels good to be together. Let the stress and structure fall away, let it be easy for a few days. Seen along the …
Keep Writing
I kick-started earlier this month. I've been in a funk for some time, and this sort of lumbering narrative was crystallizing that was positive. I was super-stoked. Gradually it began wane again. Meh. Some time later this simple maxim came into my world, this reminder: "Keep Writing." Who said it? Well, a lot of people …
Ebb and Flow

The Greatest Lesson – What’s Love Got to Do with It?
“Love one another as I have loved you.” It's a simple instruction, really. And yet so profound.

The prayer referenced the very clear and direct guidance Jesus provided, "Love God …

Believe, and Persevere
“The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame. He is near who upholds my right; if anyone wishes to oppose me, let us appear together.” -Isaiah 50. The fundamental mindset of mental health survival might be …
UnExpected
These words resonate: “Sometimes you can see God moving, even when everything is falling apart.” -Jen Fulwiler. A comedian and talk show host, Fulwiler made this observation recently; I don’t know her, but her words resonate for me. I think about betrayal, about one of Jesus’ closest followers deciding to turn him over to his …
