This Space
This space where we spend time gives me peace. Dark and cramp, in a tent in a backyard campsite. Simple slumber on the ground with our children, their quiet breathing and bodies shifting position as they sleep. This quiet time and place gives me peace. Thankful for this time and place. So simple, necessary during …
Edge
This word rolling through my head, several images, thoughts coming to mind. EDGE. Hmm, maybe it's the opposite: Several images, thoughts rolling through my head, and this word comes to mind. Another dinner gone sideways, everyone animated about things mostly other than the plate of food in front of them. Stumble, struggle through -- I …
In Parallel
One of my favorite concepts from geometry, imagery still floats in my head all these years, decades later. Parallel lines drawn with a ruler and pencil, precision work. Must have my dad's influence when I was a kid; he was a math teacher. I think of "parallel" in other context: Often we work in parallel …
Lyrics Post: “Here and Heaven”
Just what is it, a Goat Rodeo? According to a Slang Dictionary, “A goat rodeo is a slang term for something going totally, unbelievably, disastrously wrong, and there’s nothing left to do but to sit back and watch the trainwreck. In other words, a goat rodeo is a chaotic situation, fiasco, or, more vulgarly, a …
Ocean Therapy
I always seem to forget the value, the worth, the peace, of Ocean Therapy. Just being there, that’s all it really takes. The breeze, the water, the sound, the constant, demands attention, quietly, consistently, relentlessly there, of of it, insistent. How long could I sit there? One hour, six, twelve? Sun up until sunset? Waiting, …
Some Devil, Some Grace
It’s a particular feeling, a particular strength needed, when your partner is struggling. When she struggles, it effects you, no wonder; how can it not? Those who don’t feel it, maybe they don’t feel, the same. When your partner struggles, seems put out, spun out, you’re on the outs too. He doesn’t want what you …
Connected?
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 …
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 …
