Angels We Have Heard. . . private time. . . .
Can we make the snowman now, the little one asked. Almost time, I said, almost time. Well, he said, when will it be the right time? And I asked him to think about it. He was still for a minute and then asked me what I meant. Well, I said, there is a right…

No Place To Go. . .
I was told that what is done for one will be done for all. Meaning for me that when one does something unusual or different, the potential exists then for all. And this is how progress becomes a sure thing for civilization. Evolution takes a step, sometimes a baby step, but it is forward.…

I Will Speak. . . .

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…

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…
