A World Affair. . .
A World Affair. . . Give me the space in which a few minutes rest and tell me the color of your eyes. I know the direction your mind would take you, the roads upon which you go. I hear your songs of liberation from a self holding you prisoner…

My Earth, My Earth. . .
How often have we said ‘it just doesn’t translate.’ Meaning that the nuance of the word is so important that when it isn’t there, the meaning alters. The word insensate is such a word. The meaning of sensate means that there is an appreciation by the senses, that what is perceived is beautiful and…

The Breaking Day. . .
Not often do we find sunrise photos. I thank Jon Katz of BEDLAMFARM.com for this photo which he so graciously lets me use. Here in California, morning’s sunrise can be counted on pretty much and often to our detriment as these weeks have shown. Still, photos like these require a photographer to rise early…

Sum Virat Honor. . . We Honor Truth. . . .
It is not without recourse that the soul cries in the night. It is not with abandon that the individual who mourns whatever loss, be it of his innocence or that of a physical parting, is left. We know and are known, and never is there a thought which rises from the physical brain and…

An Observation. . .
Nowhere Else To Go. . . There are those who are quick to say that all of life consists of making choices. And choices are made many times.

As I Watched. . .
My journal entry says it was a Tuesday when my world folded onto itself, the trees blending into oblivion and the screen folded onto itself. I was in a place as close to a cabin in the woods as I could be. I loved it. It seems I have been a recluse in…

Apriori. . . the twig is (already) bent. . .
Apriori. . .the twig is bent. . . It’s a loaded question, this one of evolution. Ask anyone’s definition, they will either stutter or give an answer that barely touches the meaning. Mostly they will be arguing whether it is man-animal or animal-man we have in mind. Or they do. To confirm the statement…

The Universe I Know. . . .
Sometimes things need to be repeated because the lesson has been worn and the fit now is less traumatic. On November 5th, 2013 USA TODAY had an article that the space observatory Kepler telescope had shown that about 8 billion stars in our galaxy had planets almost the size of Earth that could support…
