Seems to me this idea’s come up before, seems to me it’s fundamental, being connected. It’s a technical thing on the one hand, “...VPN reconnecting...” tells you how fast you’ll need to work to catch-up, seconds, minutes tick by, the birds chirping in the yard a gentle solace. My children’s images on my screen, telling …

A.M.D.G.
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam or Ad majórem Dei glóriam, also rendered as the abbreviation AMDG, is the Latin motto of the Society of Jesus, an order of the Catholic Church. It means "For the greater glory of God." On this thirty-first day of July, designated by The Church as a feast day to celebrate Ignatius …
Lyrics Post: “Winds of Change” – Scorpions
Thirty years ago this song came out. It spoke to the times, spoke of change, spoke of one person's experience, mirroring the feelings of many. Including me. I was deep in that time of change. I had walked the same paths. Wondering. Longing. Wanting. Thirty years later, the song still captures that time, that hope, …
Stringer
On a truss, under a train, I remain, help me sustain the run. Near a year I’ve been showing up here, more frequent, daily, it’s been mainly, a nice string. Stringer of sorts, blogger, writer, whatever, the point is never, never stop jotting down, sharing out, living up to the dream, I mean, for a …
Fatal Flaw?
A lifetime of ups and downs; when I reflect back that’s what I see. I don’t suspect it’s anything special really; my experience like many other folks; in fact, I often reflect and return to the perspective that I’m particularly lucky, particularly blessed. And yet I’ve had my failures, aplenty. I’ve made mistakes; I’ve made …
It’s Fundamental: Serve Others
Not everyone proscribes to this philosophy; but as for me well, I do what I can. It really is fundamental to my thinking; I certainly fall short plenty, but I keep returning to the basic edict: Serve others. “Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant;whoever wishes to be first among …
Listen to Them Sleep
Listening to my kids sleep always brings me joy. There’s a few reasons, at least. Mostly it’s because they’re so peaceful, steady breaths in and out. If there’s enough light to see their relaxed faces, all the better. And as they can create a whirlwind of activity sometimes, it’s nice to see this other, less …
Lyrics Post: “Release”
29 years ago. This song goes back. Hard to believe. Speaks to me more now than it did then. From Pearl Jam, “Ten.” What an epic album that was; is. GOOD. RELEASE. “Release" I see the worldFeel the chillWhich way to goWindowsillI see the wordsOn a rocking horse of timeI see the birds in the …
Words: Attitude & Spirit Fortitude
No big revelation, I think that on the regular: I’m not like most folks. I fall into the lyrics of songs pretty easy. That’s part of why I post lyrics so often. Easy share, easy way to let you in; if you want in, that is. So this isn’t a regular lyrics post; more of …
Ordinary Time
If you check out this blog periodically, you might notice Sundays of late, I’ve had some reference / little lesson or take I’ve picked up from a weekend Bible reading. This time around, I’m just thinking about Ordinary Time; I think the Church uses this term to reference the time between Easter and Christmas seasons. …
