Yesterday at my desk, I was in the middle of doing what it is I do for a living and a song kept coming into my thoughts. It was so loud in my head I just plain couldn’t ignore it anymore. I didn’t know if I had it on my work pc, but I started [...]

Last week at this time I was playing in the city rather then fighting traffic. I have no issues with public transportation so I enjoyed the ferry, taxis and cable cars. I have to say I stopped short with the buses simply because I wasn’t in the mood to schedule anything, not even my time [...]

What’s behind the curtain? We all want to know this and if we don’t then perhaps we are happy to be deceived? An old movie many will know is “The Wizard Of Oz”, and of course we know Dorothy came to know the all powerful wizard to be a meager little man wanting to do [...]

Do you see with your eyes? I know it’s not your normal question but let’s ask it. I can’t see oxygen but I know it’s there for me to breathe deeply (That is if I’m not in the Caldecott Tunnel near Oakland!) I can feel the wind everywhere I go but there is no indication [...]

Remember….
A more cogent word I cannot imagine. Memories etched within our gray matter permanently! Openly I speak to say some things I never want to remember, but still they are there. The other side of that thought…..many wonderful people and experiences I have in remembrance…these are also etched within that same gray matter. I cannot [...]

“Contemplate”, now there’s a word, but have we really understood its meaning? Webster dictionary tells us…to ponder or consider thoughtfully, to intend or anticipate, to regard as possible; take seriously.
So let’s chat for a moment about conversation. Let me be the first to confess I have a rough time “contemplating” the conversation of others. With [...]

I can remember sitting at the water’s edge in the high heat of the day. It didn’t matter, my mind was flooded with the things which had been shared with me. Secret things of the heart. Looking at the pool in front of me I could imagine the faith of Peter….I could walk on water! [...]
