Conference With the Sages. . .
As a good friend kept telling me, circumstances alter things. And as birthdays gather behind one, one seeks the comfort places. And at the keyboard with the mind in long conversations with compatriots, companions, in conference and in prayer, it is a comfortable place for me. I asked Jon Katz of BedlamFarm.com to recommend…

Later Comes Too Late. . . .
Not now! Later! . . . . It is time to be reminded not to spend recklessly what we cannot recover. It was a late night comedian we were watching and he was interviewing a married couple who were both American song stylists. Already you know it was some time ago. Asked how they…

The Spoken Moment. . .
The Spoken Moment . . . There are moments rare in our shared history that are so special that they must be spoken aloud. I have too often not spoken them, and I regret that. Now I speak and they may inspire you to speak yours out loud. We were sitting at the island between…

Roses and Evergreens. . . what happened to the dream?
We Are The God Participants and We Carry the Dream. . . . My stamina is low or nil. I think I can do something because my head envisions, but my body does not follow. I spend time now waiting for this national nightmare to end and find others adding to the nightmare. I…

The Mind’s Residual. . . .
The Heavens open momentarily and close but the glimpses from the views linger and haunt one forever. **** The Self wills but the human spirit cannot be legislated. Statistics are meant to sell beer. ***** It is not the Mystery of Life which stunts man and does not beguile him to further thought. It is…

Rituals and Habits, A Practice of Life. . . . .
Habits. . . The thud of the back door as it swings shut, the sound of keys clinking to their place on the stairs, tell me even in my sleep, that you are home. Small things noted, giving rise to habits observed, a sense of ritual to a life filled with them. We continue rituals,…
