  • With Immense Gratitude, Happy Thanksgiving. . . .

    As I prepare to pack and ready myself for the journey to the opposite coast,  there will be a lull on this blog for awhile.  The children I live with wish to prepare quarters for me to avoid disruption again and I appreciate their concern.  My other son will be accompanying me and overseeing  and…

  • The Conflicting Cancer. . . .

    The Conflicting Cancer. . . The water runs cool and I soak the facecloth to make it wet and wrung out as I fold it over your very warm brow. Ahhh you say and it feels better and I know my presence is the comfort needed. Your hands unclench  and I see you rest. I’ve…

  • Pondering The Imponderables. . .

      After a harrowing time for our country,  we draw back to breathe and wish for uneventful, or common good.  For me at this time,  I come forth after a nightmare of a month that began with a simple ear infection, migrated the following week to a root canal and ended two weeks later after…

  • To Make a Difference. . . .

      We come to help make better.  We come because we hope to make a difference, however small.  The small things, when carried out with concern, can involve a lifetime or many lifetimes.  You cannot change the course of genetic evolution.  It takes its time.  Engineering may be able to code the dna but the…

  • Cosmic Connections. . . .

      The past is still happening, the future has already happened and we race to catch up with it.  This is a quantum theory, that all time is simultaneous.  The Holographic Universe was published in 1986 by Michael Talbot but I did not read it until 2015 when I learned the theory I have lived…

  • Windfalls. . .

        When I was 12 my family moved to The Farm.  There is nowhere in mind that soothes my psyche as The Farm and for such a few years of my life,  my teen years and yet these filled my yearning for something my heart knew.  In my memory bank those years were a…

  • Practicing Proverbs. . . a worn path

      The justification is there for everyone’s life.  We are redeemed.  And the eulogies certainly point this out, don’t they? ***** Is it knowledge or faith in us that if push comes to shove, our God will rescue us.  Give it thought. ***** Freedom of choice is a responsibility.  It is also a sacrament *****…

  • Someone Has To Do The Plowing. . . .

    Hope And hope is the drug, the elixir, the stimulant, the narcotic, the life saver, the god. That tomorrow will be better, that there will be a rainbow, that the snows will come and cover the door, that the rains will come and relieve the parched ground, that the vineyards will be planted, that love…

  • The Laws of Compensation. . .

    Too late I learn life holds the sharpest knife. Cutting the loaf accordingly and with compassion passes the butter. The Laws of Compensation do prevail and it is a lesson most do not like to think about.  Retribution for whatever deeds is a commonplace happening but there will always be those who think the die…

  • Bless The Experience. . .

      I needed the lesson and this blessed essay was a given.  It has found readers needing the comfort and direction as I did and that I can share this again  and bring comfort to others is where the blessing continues to be given.  We can remember the pain of the negative experience but we…
