This Learning Place. . .
Frank Herbert’s Chapterhouse Dune has much that demands me revisiting. Reverend Mother Odrade as she visits Sheanna says that art comforts and reassures people. Please, she thinks, don’t upset me. Just reassure me, she says. And I know what pleases me looking at the primitive painting on my bedside wall of early Americana that…

What We Do For One. . . no lost causes. .
Sometimes there is need to repeat a post. When this was first written it was because I felt that my efforts were strictly one sided. And then I realized that many worked under this yoke and it was time to see the greater picture. And this is a must. Our boundaries or focus are limited…

Requiring A New World. . . .
Requiring A New World. . . Toys and distraction impinge on the infant mind and the way becomes muddied. My thoughts have traveled the distance and as all thoughts do, seeded the worlds with my infant meanderings.

At The Precipice. . . I stand at the precipice of the world, wobbly but still standing, with ancient years yielding to an Essence I refer to as the Great God. Who is it, I wonder with arms ready to receive me? Small and insignificant in this Earth place dressed in my humanity? How is…

Approaching Earth Day. . . .as a lover. . . .
Love Letter To My Planet Earth My love affair started when I was about eight and laid upon the green grass and willed the clouds into playmates for my thoughts. I wished, I told my sky, I wished to be wise. I am not sure I knew what wise meant other than just plain smart.…

Light Touches. . . . .
Light Touches Your light touch on the small of my back, gains for me a courage lacking sometimes to even climb the curb. I appreciate that. Somehow beneath the layers of what I hold to be the who of what I am, is a someone still of note. Comforting to lay my hand on the…

Book Drawing
Book Drawing I have had more than a usual number who have been viewing my books for a drawing. The month has come and gone when I usually do and I missed my cue. Now I offer either a copy of Kiss The Moon, a book of poetry or The Last Bird Sings, a story…

Revelation. . .
The question is asked: What do I confront when I turn to my concept of education? That education is a thing of the heart and Spirit and no learned institution can impart what is necessary to complete this life. That all bards and philosophers knew that Cosmic Consciousness of the individual was what they talked…
