The stories we learn, the stories we believe, human history filled with so many, So many times seeking something more, untold, what unfolds? Ideas about origin, purpose, pleasure, divinity, all piled up, lessons learned by some, others still fleeting, So the story goes, the Son of Man came to us at such a time, crossroads, …

Captured Well
This song, shared before, these words capture the essence and the story nicely, From a post seven years back I shared the lyrics, my mind looking more outward, Now looking inward, increasingly so, these words still capture and share a story I hold dearly, Dave captured it well, from two thousand years ago, told with …
The Spirited Bits
The spirited bits carry me through, carry me through in spite of myself, Even as the joyous season unfolds for some, for others it seems illusive, cards and lights and joy delayed, plans pushed, unrelenting pace of business rushing to year-end, Swept up in the white frothing foam, sneaky annoying crushing waves unexpected, crashing down, …

These excerpts from the NYT spell it out, explaining why the State Senate voted down a bill to redistrict, “ “I believe the bill on its face is unconstitutional,” said State Senator Greg Walker, a Republican who opposes redistricting and who …
Honoring My Folks
Honoring them this day, 12/16, my parents, They got together in their 20s, and remained together until death, 57 years… And for myself, after two marriages that ended, I feel all the more inspired and grateful for my parents commitment to one another, to our family, to the life values that they believed, And that’s …
