Why not follow your dreams? Let’s take an example from every workshop you have ever taken. You start your list of pros and cons. I’ll start mine. First thoughts count twice as much as those that you’ve edited, tossed, put back somewhere else on the list and tossed again. Images improve the quality of...

Go with the flow
Melville looked for an “insular Tahiti” and you know what, that’s not a bad idea. The notion that you can go with the flow and be in the place that feels right is related to this island within your being. There are so many things that pull on us you’d think we’d come with...
The organizing principle
Reframing ideas requires no matting or measuring. It might require the skills that a good turn of mind can provide through the agency of a friend or an open moment when your breath comes easily and you notice that the air this late spring day is pulsing and alive. The birds are starting up...
The kick
The simple truth. Here it is. I was on the elliptical playing the kind of mind games and juggling my many strategies to get through to the far side of thirty minutes. The machine gives you a four or five minute cool down period. It has been my choice to leave when I’ve finished...
Titmice in the can
Titmice in the can. Morning doves in the box. It all sounds like a secret code based upon birds and indicating a place where the action is taking place. It is about place more than action. What is happening is a kind of falling in love with home and the sweetness that simple sights,...
Nested time
Its finally winter. Yesterday brought the news along with the longest night. Some people celebrate the solstice and their anniversaries on the same day. Every solstice is an opportunity for renewal and reflection. I suppose any occasion provides the same chance for that kind of time but it’s so rare to take a moment...

All hail and hairy wildlife
Instead of recounting my wrestling an alligator today, this is on my mind and I thought I’d share it. Before things got worse, or worse yet, before we are never heard from again I thought I’d reach out to the world, say my goodbyes to my family and let the world know that despite...
liminal
Barely perceptible, hardly there but about to emerge. Sensory threshold. That’s a feeling. It’s a season. Some people know it as another way of being, which is, on the cusp of something new or knowing something. When its knowledge that is close to home for some reason it is often a little less formed,...
Valhallaburbia
Everything is connected and if it’s not then a little grout can make up the difference and close the gap. I’m, of course, thinking in terms of tiles. Coming up with a new strategy for the kitchen counter we decided to put up a backsplash of tiles. I love NYC subway mosaics. The small...
