How Far? MLK Jr.
This is a day to remember many things. Where we started. Where we’ve been. How far we have to go. And of course, this man, Martin Luther King Junior, his words, his work, his inspiration. Especially after these recent years, and all the divides, I think I'm most hopeful that King's words only gain more …
Remote, Yet Close
Strange times, pandemic times we’re in, we’re living, so much has changed on so many levels. We’re restricted from each other for school, for work, for worship.

New Year’s Resolutions
Here’s a good list. Good for each of us; good for our fellow humans; good for the planet. Let’s start NOW.
Dropped to the Ground
At the store, recent afternoon, saw a guy drop his disposable orange mask on the ground as he walked to his car. He was with his daughter. Humf. At least he had a mask, I suppose. We’d be a lot better off if folks didn’t take that approach. In public health, in personal responsibility, in …
How Do You Feel?
Dawning reality as the year winds down, maybe I’m not as in touch with myself as I think I am. Harsh awakening. Sorta. Not really harsh maybe, but a personal wake-up call for sure. A therapist I saw earlier this year, he observed I talk about my feelings, but maybe I don’t feel them so …
