  • The Hard Work of Thought. . . .

    It seems going through my head are many things connecting to all things.   Nothing stands alone.  I am not sure  where to begin, if there is a beginning.  Perhaps that is what we have to learn, that there is no beginning and no end.  It can start anywhere for me and therefore anywhere for you. …

  • Pray the garden into a sanctuary. . . . . .

    On May 14, 2021, I posted Time’s Gleanings.  It  is a collection of paradigms as a brief respite in diets of heavy lessons.  My last maxim of that post reads like this. . . ‘Like a dancer learning the discipline of a new score,  we have rehearsed minute by minute to come to this place, …

  • My reason. . . Because Of Love. . . . .

        Explanation Caught in Part. . . In the beginning, in the place where I came from, there was a veil covering the foetus, the skin of man. I remember the place and the one who sent me here. He said it was because he loved me, and all those who would be part…

  • Each One. . .Teach One. . .

          . . . It always is a struggle between the correct thing and the right thing, no matter the subject or the action.  The correct thing is not always comforting nor comfortable.  And it generally is confrontational.  Too much on our plate and we already want to hit delete.   But whooooaaa!!!  We…

  • The Paris Incident. . . .

    So now I write about the  entries and how they are verified.  When we moved from Michigan,  we were aged with health problems.  I tired quickly  accounting for sometimes sparse writings.   I now spend more time reading the journals and making notes  amazed at what was accomplished. The puzzling habit still baffles. . .why was…

  • All Who I Am . . . Our Coats Of Many Colors. . .

    I write again of my coats of many colors.  Because I love and care for those in my life and love life itself, I will repeat those of my posts I feel urgent about.  Since I have memories and dreams of lives lived and have written of them, apologetically lacking  times, I  rightfully attest to…

  • Beneath the Wings. . . . .

                                                                                                                 …

  • just for you. . .you are worth it to me!. . . . . .

    I guess one could call me legitimately broken as a human being this morning.  I sit here with my headband made of 1 inch elastic stretched to the measurement of my head covered with a casing of fabric to look a bit fashionable. It helps a head that hurts with no side effects like pharmaceuticals.…

  • Time’s Gleanings. . .

    All knowledge is applicable to the self.  If it is used to manipulate and maneuver Others  it then becomes a game. ***** Insight implies sight to be applied inward. ***** Genuine laughter cleanses the toxic waste from swollen glands. *****  Only the secure one can afford to laugh at oneself. ***** To laugh at oneself…

  • Throw A Kiss To The Stars. . .

        Younger sisters should play by the rules and allow the elder to leave first.  But my sister stayed as long as she was able and left us this week abruptly. This poem is personal in that love abounds.  I whispered it in reading again with great love in our coming together as adults…
