It’s not near Cape Town or Karachi, not even Skid Row— nothing like that scale or density of population, but in this home town of mine, San Jose, California, homelessness has over the years become a societal problem on the rise. The pandemic has only made it worse. Vast disparities of income versus the cost …

Compromise 2
The way forward. Compromise. “Not every disagreement on every issue requires a war; that’s not reasonable; that’s not responsible leadership. We elect our leaders to govern; we expect our leaders to govern. If you’re not protecting our people and moving our society forward, you’re not governing. You’re not doing your job. The Gang of Six, …
Lists
I’ve been making lists for a long time. The practice likely parallels my efforts in school, work, and life to be more organized. It’s been a mixed bag of results. But the lists go on! I prescribe mostly to the idea that having one (or at least only a couple few) master list(s) is a …
Up and Down
Up and down things go, every hour, every day. Moods, fortunes, progress, or lack there of. Sometimes, maybe frequently, the best we can do is keep going. Sometimes the best we can do is take the step forward. Let’s do that today. Up or down, when things settle, go forward. Let’s go forward together.
On Bended Knee
I’m on bended knee, looking at the weekend… Two days like any other, yet expectations so high… Hoping for a break, a little rest, a different pace… Somewhat so, somewhat so, some otherwise more the same, by choice really… Same pressures, same pause, same joy, all really there, if only we make room…in our minds, …
Another Voice for Change

I came across these two posts from one of my more favorite voices on social media. …
Earlier Is Better
My grandpa was the first one I knew who got up early. He rose around 5am most mornings. I never understood, as a kid. I LOVE to sleep. But now I have little kids. Plenty of early mornings on that front; at least used to be. And now with work (mostly), it's up earlier and …
Access for All
This catch-phrase might seem pie-in-the-sky. Surely not everyone can be on the same footing, have the same access to resources. Maybe not. But part of the American (global?) society I believe in and strive to move forward is in basic areas, there should be access for all. Clean water. Sanitation. Healthy food sources. Basic education. …
Chase
All day long, day after day, sometimes that’s how it feels: chase. Long lists made longer by hundreds of email, how can that be? Feels like more to do every moment: chase. Dishes and laundry and honey-do: chase. Dream of a race, gun goes off, I can’t run fast enough, slow off the line, sloth-like: …
Work Spaces
Early Arrival or Late Departure? Where do you work? When do you get there? When do you leave? One space What does your work space look like? How does it make you feel? Another space Does it reflect who you are? Or is it neutral? What does it do for you? And another space Is …
