  • The Invited Guest. . . .

                                                                                    with hammer and saw and wood and file. . . . Many of us when…

  • When I love you is coupled with a hug. . . .

    These are my progeny I am fortunate to see at least with photos.  I am impressed that there are several lady greats in our lives.  And I am also impressed with the knowledge of two close mister greats.  There are others  I am certain in my scattered large family that I do not know,  but…

  • Grandparents. . . the best magic. . . .

    If I could wave my magic wand and grant a loving wish to all children born into whatever worlds are chosen, I would choose to garnish all wishes with the best wish of all. . . to grant a curious mind.  And the curious mind announces its arrival by the first simple ‘why?’ To accompany…

  • It Takes A Solomon. . . .a war of words. .

      August 30, 1990–I scribed Teacher observation. . . . When we speak of values we talk of those things making a difference in the single understanding.  We do not talk en masse but of individuals and when one does that, one’s footwork begins at home with oneself. It takes a war of words to…

      A divine observation. . .  You take love and wear as pearls. Shiny tears they once were. Shiny tears, but they fell to your breast and now they are gems. . . .                                          …

  • Love Is Reason Enough . . . . for sisters. . .

        I look upon this photo and am grateful that what my life emphasized is factual for me in this moment of time.  That what was crucial to our sons’ lives is what I see in their progeny and therefore, mine.  When asked when mountains became impossible to climb how to go on, I…

  • The Strange Bequest. . . .

    Tomorrow is Father’s Day and this is a late regret to chalk up to a life in ebbtide.  But with the head on my shoulders today, I wish there had been times to talk of heart concerns.  Life was to be mountains for me to climb and I could have used his hand to hold.…

  • Love = Value Added. . . .

    Attitudes of Gratitude . . . . . I had been asked to make potato salad for guests because they think it special and I was delighted to do so.  When I finished I thought I should have kept the times to show long it took when I was at home and said I was…

  • Prayer To The Greater Heart. . . .

        Prayer to the Greater Heart. . . . . Stay with me, my god.  Lead me where my heart should go and stay with me. Give me strength to stay out of the way of other’s growth but give me the compassion to show by example how the road goes. Let me be…
