  • We Must Learn From Our Past. . . . .

     It was 1974 that I awakened early and wrote what I remembered.  The past is still happening, the future has already happened and here in the present, we race to catch up with it.  . . . . forgetting the years of my walking around the neighborhood when presented with concepts too hard to absorb. …

  • The Important Words . . . .in all languages. . . .

    My head is still spinning with things surfacing as if I am on memory enhancers.  My take on this day is my word, my bond, my trust, my love and my honor by my teacher. It seems the meaning of those words have been lost in the jargon of our days and everything means whatever…

  • Closely. . .on the altar of our hearts. . . . .

  • Toward a Destiny. . . . .

        Wild geese move within the moments of their destiny framing patterns; struck upon the naked sky. Clocked by indiscreet motions they move in gentler waves  instinctively.

    They were just children with a love offering.  It glinted in the ground and when picked up it glittered as a star in the sky.  Of course it would be given to the one loved most!  And with grimy hand and full heart it was.  With words accompanying the gift,  they spilled as starbeams through…

  • The Best Learning Place. . . Our Earth. . .

      A great day at the Park. . . .  It was another difficult day with health issues and no energy to cope.  And then this ray of sunshine was on my computer.  Her grandfather saying this little engineer put the frame for the folding camp chair (with many shock corded legs) together, all by…
