Find God Everywhere
In the toughest days, sometimes sneaky tough, unexpected, I seek God. Not sure what that means sometimes. Habit. In the dark, uncertainty, seeking God. Devine guidance, affirmation. Seeking relief, answers, understanding. In quiet concession, agreement, unexpected generosity. Need a little more, give a little more, fill the gap. Ask and you shall receive. Seek and …
Anxiety: Shape Shifter
It ebbs and flows, anxiety. It’s a fluid, dynamic thing. Sometimes it washes over; other times it laps laps laps gently on the shore. It can turn violent in an instant, that’s my experience. Anxiety is a shape shifter; it comes in the darkness, finding its way to your demise. How can it optimize it’s …
Always Together
Soak up the weekend, soak up together.
Dear God,
I’ve been a person of faith most of my life. Not the best church-goer of late, but I pray most every day. Prayer helps me start the day, prayer helps me cope, prayer helps me hang on. I have a pretty standard sequence by which I pray… Gratitude, Forgiveness for my failings, For those who’ve …
Ignatius
Ignatius of Loyola, 31 July, the feast day, the day the Catholic Church celebrates this man’s life. From the 1500’s.

One primary mantra, “…to the greater glory of God…”, A simple commitment, a life of self-reflection …
Stay Open, Patient, and Listen

This simple trifecta of awareness during a week off …
Reflections for Father’s Day
Reflecting on this day, worthwhile indeed, to say, thankful for this day. Father’s Day. On this day, funny thing, things on my mind. I think about my own dad, now gone three years. I think about what he was to me, really, so much, maybe everything, to me. He helped me be me, the best …
Crackle
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 …
