Up and down things go, every hour, every day. Moods, fortunes, progress, or lack there of. Sometimes, maybe frequently, the best we can do is keep going. Sometimes the best we can do is take the step forward. Let’s do that today. Up or down, when things settle, go forward. Let’s go forward together.

Compromise 1
Compromise, the way forward. Compromise, the path of peace. Compromise, the way to find, create, harmony. Compromise, the way to live happily with others. Give a little; take a little; compromise. In friendships, at work, at home, in marriage, in life. Be willing to... COMPROMISE.
Lyrics Post: “Free Your Mind”
Quite unexpected, not really a genre I partake from too often; too often that’s where the gems lie. Lots of folks know these ladies rock it, knowing the beats, words good too, message good too. Whether you’re en vogue or not, free your mind all the same. Maybe now more than ever. “Prejudice, wrote a …
The Campers In The Shadows
Down Garcia Drive, and South / East Bayshore Frontage Road in Mountain View, amongst the many buildings that house the likes of Google, YouTube, LinkedIn, there are campers after campers after campers. A long row, on the east side, the industrial side. In the shadows of so many tech companies. I sit writing this in …

On Bended Knee
I’m on bended knee, looking at the weekend… Two days like any other, yet expectations so high… Hoping for a break, a little rest, a different pace… Somewhat so, somewhat so, some otherwise more the same, by choice really… Same pressures, same pause, same joy, all really there, if only we make room…in our minds, …
Spontaneous Reflection: COVID
So much has changed since COVID came to us, so much, in so many ways, so many ways, yet the challenge, the tragedy, maybe more fundamental. How many people infected, millions upon millions upon millions more. So many millions we really can’t comprehend. And the deaths, in this American country alone, three hundred and fifty …
Navalny
Democracy is for all humanity, at least it should be, in my humble opinion. One country in which democracy has long struggled is Russia. One voice that resonates from within? Alexei Anatoliovich Navalny. He has become maybe the most powerful voice calling for an end to corruption and more transparency in the Russian political system, …
Skinned Knees: Hope Is A Salve
Skinned knees. Remember them before? Maybe recently? Even if it’s been a while since you physically fell to the ground...maybe you’ve had a series of fails at work - it’s sort of the same. It stings; it hurts; the wound lingers, there’s periodic pain, it doesn’t go away quickly. What’s the answer, what’s the salve …
Another Voice for Change
After MLK Jr. Day, after all the many situations and examples and tragedies that have been freshly brought to light of late around racial inequality, and the many things we need to do to change things for the better... I came across these two posts from one of my more favorite voices on social media. …
