I am currently reading The Art of Living by Thich Nhat Hanh. And I am trying to follow his teachings about practicing mindfulness everyday in all my activities and resting moments. Mindfulness allows you to live deeply every moment that is given you to live. ~Thich Nhat Hanh It is not easy, but…… Continue reading A Mindful Walk; Geese, Ducks, and Dog

Books and Other Dangerous Info
On the news recently we heard about Governor DeSantis support of Florida law HB1460 which effectively allows a “school district employee who holds a valid educational media specialist certificate” to decide which books and materials should be available for students. This whole scenario sounds very problematic and not easily definable. Does this mean one person…… Continue reading Books and Other Dangerous Info
End Times
Bombed theater in Mariupol, Ukraine “END TIMES” I have heard these words three times in last two days, not counting the email links, Facebook posts and texts from well-meaning family and friends. And I do understand where this is coming from. Indeed, the world is in crisis. And many of us instinctively feel the aura…… Continue reading End Times
Suffer Fools Lightly
I have not been able to write anything coherent for the last few days regarding what happened in our Capitol this week. My mind is a mess, my heart is heavy, I feel like a loved one has just died. I am raw. But something different emerged in me yesterday. Anger. Pure unadulterated visceral righteous…… Continue reading Suffer Fools Lightly
The In-Between Time
We are in the In-Between Time. All of us on this planet are. For me personally, this strange place started last year, when Joe and I began talking about our future. We discussed many possible paths we could take. Most seem(ed) very plausible. Some not so much. We are still in this discussion stage. Nothing…… Continue reading The In-Between Time
Nothing New Under the Sun
I haven’t been writing on my blog for some time now. I just couldn’t bring myself to write one more snarky political opinion piece about the shit-show in Washington and the great divide. I do not delude myself into thinking that what I write will change a person’s mind. But now I feel something different…… Continue reading Nothing New Under the Sun
On Lock-Down and Laying Down One’s Life
I am stuck here, mostly sitting with my left leg propped up with ice on it to keep swelling down, (I had knee replacement surgery March 18th) doing nothing productive. The first few days I was either too dopey or hurting too bad to come up with anything to write or even talk about and…… Continue reading On Lock-Down and Laying Down One’s Life
Where Are You From?
“Where are you from?” This may be one of the first questions you put to a person who was a complete stranger only minutes before. I believe this question is the most quintessential of any query we may make to another. With these words, we are inviting the other to open up the door to…… Continue reading Where Are You From?
Mystery and Joy
Last week while I was driving down a side street in a small town in Indiana I saw something up ahead on the sidewalk that I could not figure out. It was sky blue, topped with a shiny silvery dome. And it was moving very slowly. As I neared the object and it became clear…… Continue reading Mystery and Joy
Doing the Right Thing
I was surprised when five year old Dylan (not his real name) broke ranks with the group of older children, most of whom he knew – one was his brother, to cross the invisible line and hand another child the pair of shoes he was holding. He did this without anyone prompting him. In fact…… Continue reading Doing the Right Thing
