  • My Eternal Love. . . . .my earth. . .

    Love Letter To My Planet Earth  . . . .  My love affair started when I was eight and laid upon the green grass and willed the clouds into playmates for my thoughts.  I wished I told my sky that I wished to be wise.  I am not sure I knew what wise meant other…

  • With Credence To Time Warps. . .

    With Credence To Time Warps. . . (I had a dream where there was an old woman muttering over a  young woman in a  body cast with only eyes and mouth showing.  I told the old woman to release her. I  don’t know why she was punished, perhaps for prostitution.  And a person throwing a…

  • We Are It, Sailors, We are It . . . . .

     Take to Heart This Earth Planet Classroom. . . . .  I have been in a few rooms when some beloveds have been preparing to transit this world.  Some have been hospital rooms where it has been calmer when attention is focused on what was happening and not being diverted from the one leaving our…

  • Some Awards Do Not Hang On Walls. . . . .

    Often we think nothing has been accomplished in our lives, so I encourage journal keeping, if only a few sentences limited to what one learns in the day.  Many of us have enlisted our efforts in what cannot be seen.  The journals will show the awards that hang on the heart and not on the…

  • A hyacinth for our Country’s Soul . . .

    With pen and tablet I watched Morning Joe and felt I was auditing a class with Joe Scarborough and Jon Meacham, both knowledgeable speaking about the fragility of our democracy.  And the lasting words of Professor Meacham were the thunderous grievances of our previous leaders that cannot thought to be ended. But in fulness and…

  • To Break The Waves, enough it is. . . .

    (sometimes in the midst of memories, I need to be reminded of what mattered most.  And if I need this, perhaps a reader does also.  The memory is now fresh for me.  I appreciate the chance for reprinting a favorite one.) After having been told a zillion times that no one would want my head, …
