What fills the void? Not sure, what do I mean? In your personal time? In your work time? In your soul? The times when things seem unsettled, uncertain, a little {or a lot} empty. I find it’s things, the little things, day-to-day, these are the things that fill the void, that make it all worth …

A Week In Pictures
What a week; so many different aspects; here are some of the highlights. Early up, more often; helps sooth the anxieties of the day. Halloween is coming; decorations in the neighborhood. One of my favorite bands from long ago; listened anew; it was great. That debate; WOW; I wish I’d had a bit of whisky …
Lyrics Post: “Stairway to Cleveland”
Another one to thank my brother for, or at least, for the reminder. I think he heard this band from me originally. We were pretty young. Sorting out our parents’ music, classic rock and roll (at the time), heavy metal coming up, and early 80’s sound. This band was from the SF Bay Area, so …
Back to the Wild
It was such a success, we did it again. Such a simple act, readily accessible, waiting for you, for me. We were out on a pedal boat, sparkling gold, something like the sun off the water. Greens and blues and birds, several types. Lucky to have the chance to be on the water. Lucky to …
Find the Wild
Go to the wild, it’s waiting for you. It’s a place to pause, to return to the beginning. It’s a place that’s easy to get to; it doesn’t take much. It’s a place where we can experience a touch of the Devine, maybe more than a touch. It’s a place to find God, if you …
Day, Waning
We can all feel the easy peace this time of day affords. If only we take the time. Pause after the work day, let the dishes sit a little while longer, turn off the screens [unless you’re writing a blog post 🙂 ], step outside. Feel the breeze, listen to the wind chimes sing. Relish …
Not Much
[Note: Thursdays have typically been a day to post song lyrics on this blog. This time around, I was inspired with the following thoughts, so went this route instead. Enjoy.] Not much more than a bit to keep me holding on, Not much more time I need to figure it out, not much more to …
A Couple of Tunes
A couple of tunes helped make the difference tonight. The first was on repeat as I started the after-dinner dishes. We got this party started. PINK. Meal with the kids, a typical dad dinner: New York beef hot dogs, and vegetable options: tonight it was green beans, carrots, or corn. Dessert was simple, treats mom …
Holy Hour
It happens most often during the 3am hour. Lying in the darkness, mostly asleep, shifting my head, feeling for a more comfortable spot on the pillow. If there’s a lot going on — and in 2020 it seems that way most every day — my brain might start to churn. To-Do’s, Things Done, and often, …
The Universe and The Time: Carpe Diem, Vita Brevis: Seize the Day, Life is Short
From The Universe and The Time blog: "Carpe Diem, Vita Brevis" in other words, "Seize the Day, Life is Short"~ I stumbled across this blog a while back. Another iteration of a reminder we all need frequently - make the most each day; relish in the ordinary; we know not the hour or the day …
