  • Little Mercies. . .

        Little Mercies. . .   Dickens said. . . ‘I wear the chains I forged in life’ For better or worse we forge them link by link.  And I like to think they are good habits of ours that I call little mercies or the more common,  tender mercies.  I felt this many…

  • Think It Through. . . .

    Think It Through. . . All thought which holds the life’s crucible for an Other’s well being is prayer.  Any conversation which holds the good of Others in its heart is prayer. ***** What seems like a tragedy in the absurd and obscure is indeed a well thought out and prescribed drama. . . oftentimes.…

  • The Global House. . . running toward a truth. . . .

    The Cost Of Life. . . Priceless Some old beliefs are a security blanket that have been dragged along through centuries and already are thread bare.  The nap has been plucked off by nervous fingers tightly holding to isolation and keeping those not like us outside the circle.  Some beliefs need to be kept and…

  • New Glimpses and Compensation. . .

      Compensation. . . There was a time when summer was upon us that I was scurrying to order wood so that it would have a full season to dry.  I was also then listening intently for the cicadas to start their mating call because I knew that the first frost was due 6 weeks…

  • Back Talk. . .

        Back Talk. . .   I say. . . Give me time. . . You say. . . I already have. How much time do you need? I say. . . Just a little more. I never had time to do what my soul yearned to do. You say. . . But you…

  • Connections. . . everything teaches. . .

        The Dinner Table . . . Everything Teaches. . . There was a little boy who sat at the holiday table with all the family and their friends.  The table was set with the white cloth and the numbers of gathered friends were many.  The little boy sat high on his chair and…

  • Where Are You Going Absalom? . . . .

    I’ve Been Before To Paradise. . . I was told that you cannot wait for anyone else to do what is yours to do.  They do not have your particular understanding nor your vision.  The future  will be turned one page at a time and you will find your name on it.  But do not…

  • Bread With Some Butter. . .

      Bread With Some Butter. . . Drive as though your life depended on your driving.  Because many drive as though they never give life thought,  least of all yours. ***** We know that empty promises still carry the hint of hope.  Because who knows for sure. ***** Man has made his bed and he…

  • Because I Chose You. . .

        Thank You For Choosing Me As Your Parent. . . . . For those who think Eve was an afterthought of Adam, give some time to this disclosure as to her purpose for humanity.  Perhaps this should be included in our thinking when we discuss the competition and jealousies which plague the genders.…

  • Observation Expert. . .

      The only thing I am an expert on is being an old lady.  I am not a vet nor a dog trainer, nor a whisperer.  What I am is an expert in observing;  people as well as sentient life,  or not sentient.  I have seen God in a Rock.  So be it.  What I…
