  • Hone the Diamond, Light the Candle. . . .Vote!

      What I need to say are words that will convey the importance of the privilege we will let pass if we do not get people to their feet and lower the lever on the machine that will give them a future.  Yet. How not to give away the chance to make a difference as…

  • Ripped, severed, broken. . .

    The day looms with fierce emotions which will lay its colors upon the hearts of mourners forever.  It is with little thought given by some that words have great power over the course of our lives.  It is we who must teach the children the choice of words must be with care.  And we adults…

  • The Garden Gnome. . . .

      The Garden Gnome. . . Already Fall has sent her messages in the form of cold, rainy days that speak of Fisherman hats and boxy bonnets and warm jackets.  And it would not be remiss to have warm mittens in the pockets of those jackets just in case.  These past weeks have spoken of…

  • Full Circle. . . .

    I at first thought that everyone can do anything.  But later realized that somewhere, someone has to show by example something that strikes home with another.  A something that is meaningful to another.

  • Life Anywhere Is Our Destiny. . . .

      Life Anywhere Is Our Destiny. . . It is sweet breathing the elixir of rarified air and to be alive anywhere always is our destiny.  Life is everlasting.  We seem to forget that in the midst of making a living.  It is necessary knowledge in making a life. The Master said suffer the little…

  • Great Songs Will Be Sung. . . .

        We need to come to a place now and again when it is necessary to find a mind matched to ours so we can for all purposes say all that is heavy on our hearts.  With no explanation necessary because our route has been followed step by step;  to hear the words,  I…

  • Mind Benders. . . .

    I consider it fun doing research and often I come upon something that deserves more thought.  With the quote comes more research about what the author meant.  I call them mind benders.  It is about discovering what meaning it has given to my life.  The following are simple but a storehouse of depth within.  Mind…

  • Sometimes From a Distance. . . .

      Sometimes From a Distance. . . I recently told my readers that I would post the fisherman’s hat which I knit with thick and burly yarn.  Aging plays havoc with arthritic fingers and new ways have to be found to do the things I once found great pleasure in doing.  Or told myself that…
