Pace
Pick it up, Slow down, Live by it, Die by it? Don’t let it kill you, Learn to master it, When to allow yourself to be swept up, When to let hurry by when too quick, It’s up to you, Pace.
Early Morning Overdrive
Early morning workdays, they seem to start like this most days. Overdrive. Zero to sixty in no time. My mind goes from dreamy rest to racing thoughts, flashing across my mind’s eye. List accelerating, things, tasks to-do’s adding to the bottom and the list gets long in a hurry. Quickly spiraling, my heart beat quickens, …
“Love Never Fails”
This Good Friday, I feel pretty far from the usual church ideas and rituals around celebrating this day. For us Christians, today is one of the most important days of the year, when we remember the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. The darkest day gives way to the brightest, a couple days following. It feels …

Pi Day, Redux

Channel The Earlies
I work for a bio tech company. We manufacture right here in good ol’ northern California, San Francisco Bay Area. You might have heard we have about 9 million people in the metro area. Our company is sorta smack in the middle of it. That is to say, there are a LOT of people on …
