  • Angels Unaware. . .

      Angels Unaware. . . Seldom do dreams stay with me,  and though there are many diverse opinions on the importance of dreams,  in early times they were taken as imperative directions.  This one has stayed with me every day for a week.  It was a dream of deaf children and it seemed it went…

  • Bread, not cake. . .

      I want bread. . .thank you. . . .   I have worked out this loaf that pleases me greatly.  It is a favorite when it is fresh and toasted it is not to be believed.  An open faced cheddar sliced cheese melted on it to toast with a couple of slices of crisp…

  • A Balanced Judgment. . .

    Many Chances. . . I had written that it is a wonderful play on words when we are given a phrase and then run like the wind with it.  I had written about  ‘a sense of snow’ and someone with this sense can tell you many things when seeing a footprint in the snow and…

  • An Observation. . .

    Nowhere Else To Go. . .   There are  those who are quick to say that all of life consists of making choices.  And choices are made many times.  But what is not considered is that Conscience is a heavy determiner.  There are circumstances that prevent choices and options are non existent.  Commitment and responsibility…

  • What Is A Mind For? . . .

    What is a Mind For?. . . When I read that it is nearly impossible for a youngster in high school to take upon themselves a novel and read it through to  report on it,  I had trouble believing it.  A high school student?  And the reporter of the article also had trouble.  She took…

  • As I Watched. . .

        My journal entry says it was a Tuesday when my world folded onto itself, the trees blending into oblivion and the screen folded onto itself.  I was in a place as close to a cabin in the woods as I could be.  I loved it.  It seems I have been a recluse in…

  • Peace Of Mind. . . .

    We persist in thinking we might make a difference because we don’t know when we might make a difference. ***** When illusions are unmasked, coping mechanisms prove unable. ***** Death is a triumph.  The tragedy would be had we never been. ***** A cynic is someone on the threshold of understanding. ***** Man’s God is…

  • With Hope Eternal. . .

      There are times, and this is one of them,  that is a heartbreaker.  I have long loved this Earth of mine and readers know even as a child I have felt this love.  When weather devastates the very places I have known, it is a keen pain. Last week it was Houston and that…

  • Gratitude For A Good Teacher. . . Nancy Zieman

      Gratitude For A Good Teacher. . . Amid all the events of these weeks,  a saddened addition for me was the knowledge that a favorite TV person of mine is retiring due to ill health.  For over 30 years Nancy Zieman ,  (Sewing With Nancy)  has been a visitor to my home.  I happened…

  • Apriori. . . the twig is (already) bent. . .

      Apriori. . .the twig is bent. . . It’s a loaded question, this one of evolution. Ask  anyone’s definition,  they will either stutter or give  an answer that barely touches the meaning.  Mostly they will be arguing whether it is man-animal or animal-man we have in mind.  Or they do.  To confirm the statement…
