  • New World Carved Out Of Our Hearts. . .

      When you asked the question. . . I don’t know that it occurred to me at some particular point, or that I always knew the moment you asked the question you already knew the answer because the process by which intelligence grows is by the conclusions reached by the hard work of consecutive thoughts…

  • Sufficient Reason. . .

    One of my favorite authors has been Susan Howatch.  When she left the United States,  she returned to England with her daughter.  She also was accepted at Oxford to study philosophy.  She learned from the old philosophers that the human mind as structured was unable to understand  nor grasp the concept of Reality as taught. …

  • When You Need To See A Skyline. . . .

    August 23, 2024. . . As an introduction for those new to my writing, you need to know that for me all time is simultaneous, it is all happening now.  It need not be your understanding, just an acknowledgment that it is this way for me.  It makes for easier understanding when your thoughts are…

  • We do it now because we know . . .

    To change history. . .a new path. . . I had been at sixes and sevens (so to speak).  I should explain that the idiom means things being in great doubt with me. The idiom is centuries old coming from (more nearly surmised) the English.  Since I married into an Anglo Saxon Protestant family,  I…

  • Immigrant. . . .

    Although it was my best of intentions I don’t know why it was not obvious to those who claimed they knew me.  But what they saw was some kind of favoritism but never the cost or the contract involved.  That it could not be believed was understandable.  But the next question should have been,  why…

  • A Monk In Brown Burlap . . . 1790. . .

      How Not To Attach The Fabric Of The Global House. . . They say. . You have to keep it singular. . . You have to keep it nuclear. . . You have to keep it private. . . and remembering different in any way is not good. I tell you. . . You…

  • A Sorrow Hushed . . . . . .

    A Sorrow Hushed. . . My ears cleaved to the door frame of the dining room. Her whisper was hoarse, were there many? Lots, he said, lots, as he held the letter that told him what they saw. They pushed for space, women and children and their men for best viewing. They wanted to see. …

  • The Present Not Wanted, But Needed. . . .

          As I Watched. . . Part of a whole, yet wholly here. Slowly as I watched the silence was encompassing. Piece by blessed piece, each tree, each entity  slowly folded upon itself and laid itself down. The screen protecting vanished as it bent itself into nothing, a wisp of an idea no…

  • A Way For Me. . . when body balks. .bread for the day. . .

    March 3, 2024. . . I do what is foreign to me now.  I am putting  with only some editing whole journal entries with feedback from my teachers.  For those inclined to scoff at what is given, I say just try to do it.  I came into this life with a foot still in my…

  • THE LAST BIRD SINGS. . . .

    The Last Bird Sings. . . . A fact in nature changes as the person who perceives it. The maxim states  ‘A fact is enhanced by what is perceived.  Depends on who is looking and seeing and what they are seeing.  One does not see what one is not looking for.  The person who sees…
