Radio sounds, waft through the house, from the front, from the back, same channel, crackle into the air. Local jazz station, my radios don’t tune in so well. But I love it anyway. And I could stream digital but, would rather not. The crackle, something about it, from the past, like the music, reminding me …

Memorials
Remembering what we can, what we should, this annual holiday. How much do we recall, recollect? Perhaps it’s more than remembering those we have served, tho’ that tops the list — maybe it’s also remembering what has been, those in our lives now gone, a more personal, maybe general memorial too. Those that have given …
Snippets of GOOD
From an old friend, this quote, recently shared. I think it stands pretty well on its own. Enjoy. I did. Do. "As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, …
A Child’s Wisdom
“This is peaceful” - Levi, my son, as we walked the woods recently with his sisters. Wind in the trees, sound like rushing water. So close to the metropolis of a million people, yet a world away too.

Write. Almost Never Wrong.

Lyrics Post: “Back to the Bay” by Daveed Diggs
Pretty well can't say enough good things about this dude, Daveed Diggs. Beyond his beats, his words, his Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson...I just pretty well love everything I've learned about him. He inspires, plain and simple. And he's a WARRIORS fan from Oakland, California. All the better, dig it, dig Diggs, Back to the Bay... …

Just Live
Sometimes so hard, just live, just live. Chores and tasks and obligations and duties and demands, All demand your time, your attention, your Right Now!, moments, hours, days, It feels so anyway, feels anyway, all the more to me, To my mind, mixed up in it all, mixed up by it all, all mixed up …
