With A Glad Heart
The question was put to me, how does one teach an Other how to envision the larger picture? Especially when it comes to work? Sweaty work. Weeding gardens or fields of cucumbers? How does one teach another that to look at work from another perspective will give the person a different feel for what it…

No Need For Words
No Need For Words The silence is comforting. No need for words because we have said them all, have we not? The I love you has been our greeting for centuries past and our eyes speak the loving endearment now. Hands become numb in the slightest chill, needing gloves, nay mittens, even…

Dear Emmy. . . . .
I have long had a deep affection for the poet/philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. He has been a faithful friend for more decades than I dare to say. His essays have been a wider lens for my world and worlds. I have dog eared my books and still they are companions. This relationship gives me…

The Chime Clock
The Chime Clock It is far past the hour when the bell chimes and I know when the hour will strike again. Many times we’ve heard the bell strike our time only to ignore the possibility of a door opening. We think it closes forever on us, yet the motive for its closure is to…

In All Things
In All Things In all things, the wheat will be gathered and the chaff discarded. The kernel bears the fruit but the husk in its time will yield its stuff. It will be found worthy by those in search of husks. And then the chaff discarded will be left to kernel another time. The lilies…
