Yet another RUSH song, yet more sounds and words the soak deep into me over and over again. It fortifies me. "Bravado" "If we burn our wingsFlying too close to the sunIf the moment of gloryIs over before it's begunIf the dream is wonThough everything is lostWe will pay the priceBut we will not count …

Summer Solstice, Downhill
From here on out in the year, the days get shorter. It’s downhill to year-end, good momentum now. Let this fact be a spark for you, for me, that we will see, make the most of each hour, each day. Listen to the birds sing a little more. Worry a little less. Let gravity do …
Another Go, Remembering Howie
He’s been gone a little more than two years now, my old man, Howie Lud. Seems like it’s been closer to four years tho’, after he stroked on New Years Eve 2015. I miss him a lot. So as I look back on Father’s Day 2020, I hope I’m doing right by him; I hope …
“Kept All In Her Heart“
Book of Luke, Chapter 2, I believe is one of the few stories from the New Testament that talks about Jesus as a youth. The story goes, he and has family had gone to Jerusalem for annual Passover Feast. They stayed there for the whole of days, and traveling with a large group, departed. After …
Running To Stand Still
An old song by the band, U2, an oldie but a goodie, as they say. Sometimes we feel that way, we’re going as fast as we can to keep up, but only just staying in the same place. Sometimes we do the best we can and it falls short; sometimes it’s chronically short; sometimes it’s …
Cattywampus
Thus the day, underway, and a little cattywampus. Unsettled, uncertain, still lots to do. Striving, not thriving, holding on, thinking of you. Don’t want to lose, only want to choose, the right way, path, day, To say, don’t give up, keep your chip up, never give up, Cattywampus, then right side up.
Let Your “Yes” Mean “Yes”

Sitting on the Bed
Sitting on my son's bed, listening to the sounds. In the dim light, thinking. He asked me to sit with him as he fell asleep. Quickly so. His sisters already softly snoring in slumber. Later than I'd like but then, a few moments to write, to capture the night. Grateful for that, for their slumber, …
Love Your Enemies
This simple concept has been considered for nearly 2,000 years. Yea verily, how alien this idea seems to be! And yet, it's fundamental to long-term happiness and inner peace. I Loving your enemies means taking the high ground. It means not holding on to the evil of hate. It means letting go of the negative, in …
