Some days, weeks, longer, Feels like we’re slogging through. Keep a little smile on the face, head down to the grindstone, thankful for what we have, Undertone though? Slogging through, legs heavy, thick on your mind, in the back, Slow go. It’s this very time, each time, to stop the slide, To pause and give …

#Afghanistan
The Taliban militias are over-running Afghanistan as the US military draws down. The people of that country deserve better. "We don't count because we're from Afghanistan. We'll die slowly in history" Tears of a hopeless Afghan girl whose future is getting shattered as the Taliban advance in the country. @AlinejadMasih @FForotan
Lyrics Post: “American Idiot”
I can’t believe it’s been nearly 20 years since this song, this album, came I tot the world. Somehow it seems more relevant and urgent today than 2004 when it came into the world. Listen up. Don’t be an American Idiot. "American Idiot" Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation under the …
Snippets of GOOD
From an old friend, this quote, recently shared. I think it stands pretty well on its own. Enjoy. I did. Do. "As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, …
Lyrics Post: “The Trees”
Timeless, and fitting. “There is unrest in the forestThere is trouble with the treesFor the maples want more sunlightAnd the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples(And they're quite convinced they're right)They say the oaks are just too loftyAnd they grab up all the lightBut the oaks can't help their feelingsIf they like …
Inside, Outside
Where we spend our time, inside, outside. Literally, and figuratively. In the world, in our heads. Who are we outside? Inside? The same, or different...? These questions churn through my noggin most days, challenge me, inspire me, forward, the stop! Then forward again. Striving to understand, live the truth, each day, nudge, speed, forward. Inside, …
Listen, Lean-In, Love
Listen to the voices you trust, to those that inspire you, each day. Learn the lessons being offered if they resonate with you. Learn them well. Lean-in to hard things when it makes sense. We can do hard things . You can do hard things. We humans, we are built for struggle, to overcome difficulties, …
Jerry Rig
Jerry Rig or jury rig, is the practice of making due with what you have on hand to repair something or otherwise solve a problem. Making due, that's a good life lesson. Things don't always go as we'd like; sometimes to get some result close to what we want, we have to make due, make …
Shanty Town
It’s not near Cape Town or Karachi, not even Skid Row— nothing like that scale or density of population, but in this home town of mine, San Jose, California, homelessness has over the years become a societal problem on the rise. The pandemic has only made it worse. Vast disparities of income versus the cost …
Lyrics Post: “Anthill” By KINO (Victor Tsoi)
This one from almost thirty years ago, living in the then Soviet Union...this band, they became part of the soundtrack of that year for me...so GOOD. “A new day is starting And cars pass there and forth If the sun isn't too lazy to rise, It's okay for us too then. The anthill lives on, …
