Looking Up, Back, and Forward

Where and when do memories live? What is the fabric where they are woven? What is the invisible medium, the field of energy that we sense in our thoughts and in our dreams? I spent quite a long time thinking of a car ride that I made half a life ago. I could not remember […]

Maybe God is Curious, Patient, and NOT All Knowing

There is a feud going on, and on, and on. People believe in invisible things, and insist that others believe them too. I suspect these folks who insist what they insist had a certain kind of parent, My Way or the HighWay. Know it alls do value their possession of all knowledge. My own dear […]

Love of My Life

Just yesterday we began the challenge. My beloved and I started to make a list of all the stories we could tell about ourselves, our friends, our past, and so much unknown history about the weird new normal times we live. The challenge was posed by Nick Almighty, arguably the most famous of our besties. […]

Stillness

What my friend Ashoka says is true. STILLNESS is underrated. I mean, what is the SOUND of one hand clapping? Ever thought about that?

Something we can […]
