Autumn of my discontent
I’m older and I think I’m wiser because I’ve lived through enough years to watch my own behavior and to watch humans behaving goodly, badly and a myriad of variations between the sides of good and evil. I’m sitting on the couch today and I have a vague feeling of discontent. The line Emily Blunt utters from The Devil Wears Prada is echoing in my ( Read more... ) -
About the past and paternal thoughts
Recently the Love of my life has been reconnected with her father. He’s been out of her life for around about 40 years (the span of my lifetime incidentally). When her parents split in the late 60s they couldn’t balance and equitable experience for the children, so her father fell away out of the picture not to be heard of for decades. Her ( Read more... ) -
An evenings contemplation
Well, I was never very regular at keeping up with my journaling. But I was attempting to keep some kind of regular schedule of meditation that might lead to some thoughts that I would want to write down. I was recording ideas as they moved me, just to get the idea on “paper.” Ever the narcissistic bastard, I was enjoying the fact that I was ( Read more... ) -
Young Love
I was reading and thinking about first loves this morning after reading about some current heartbreak of another young woman.

I have ( Read more... ) -

Minor ephiphany
I've gone a little bit insane with the power of the internet - today I came home to check the mail box and I had 6 cds waiting for me... in my defense I bought them new or used from sellers on Amazon, so I'm doing my part to keep small businesses and the US Postal service in the money one cd at a time. I am however, running out of room. I have ( Read more... ) -
I was thinking about Spring...
Born on the cusp of Summer and nursed into the World through the Fall and harsh Winter snows, I spend my life cyclically with the Seasons:
Summer is spent on the Southern sand dunes of an Atlantic beach. Sunny Florida wraps me in Vitamin C love. Driftwood and sunblock, my companions, accompany me miles and miles along the shore. The voice of God ( Read more... )
