It shouldn’t come as a surprise every year. It should be expected. It’s fleeting and languorous and that’s just what gets to me all the time. How can summer be gone, fall finally fledgling cold and yet it still comes as a wake up call.? Well, maybe as a call to stay under the...
The Dailies
The crazy energy dailies and the things that seem to fit the true dailies of the daily neurotic. But how do you tell the difference between that and the culture we live in? Dunno.
the thing is
Almost everything has seemed like something else for a long time. That’s the thing. I’m not sure when this started. I do not believe this is a thing of getting older either since I’m fairly certain that this has been going on since I was young. It has not been diagnosed before or studied...
Cathedrals
Friends were talking about the kinds of relationships you build over a lifetime. These are pure gold and have a charm and resilience that brings the kind of comfort not often noted in the procession of holidays and celebrations. Relationships grow like crystals, like graph charts showing growth with ridges and hills and climbs...
Backyard yin, backyard yang
Every day I walk around the property I’m moved by something I see or experience. I want to share it with my partner. But something happens between the time I get from the outside to the inside that just pushes whatever it was right out of my head. Now I’m usually walking around the...
The electric scribe
Every so often you can run into a spell where everything seems to be a good title for a book. If not a whole book title at least a chapter title. I’m thinking of the Electric Scribe as a new name for a book but not sure what the characters will be like or...
Counting glories
There’s been times I have been in love with spring and fall. Those were surprising days considering summer is really it for me. It has been it for my whole family as well. Until recently I never thought of families being identified with one season over another. To be honest I never thought of my birthday...
Going in for the banana
The kettle’s whistling. Sort of. The whistle ain’t what is used to be but if it’s meant to get your attention, it’s working better than ever. Slept through three wake up calls. There’s way less time for everything and I can forget about those thoughts about getting up early to work out too. Check...
Light a candle
Light a candle today. Light one if for no other reason than you haven’t lit a candle in a long time. It is a beautiful act. Light a candle for your mother that’s gone. I will for my mother. I miss her and today is a day to remember her. The thing is, really,...
The long way home
Driving in my future might involve more mystery tours and rides than I had previously anticipated. It is the reason why I stopped to make an altar to the gods that removed clover leafs and rotaries from the highways in these parts. Had they still existed I could tell you that the increase in...
Labor Day is upon us
A few weeks back I was on the beach after work. Going to the beach during a workweek is a pleasure and a treat that I should take advantage of more often. We just sat there enjoying the view – checking out the ocean, feeling the light wind, listening to the surf and the...
