  • In my youth

    November 15, 2009

    • Things that I was miserable without    I wouldn't just mention one because when I was a kid; there were several possessions I was miserable without. I had lots of toys and I use to enjoy them very much. If I can think of a possession that I couldn't do without, it would be a new toy from father. Every time my father uses to come home from work, I was often crying when he wasn't bringing ...
  • A Sweet Season

    November 14, 2009

    • Thanksgiving will be here soon and Christmas won’t lag far behind. It’s the hap, happiest season of all. That is, if you’re not half-dead from shopping, decorating, entertaining, Christmas card writing and baking by the time it arrives. Oh, never mind. It’s the happiest time of the year, dang it! I’ve learned to trim and not stress. Get an early start. Yes, I say this every year, ...
  • A glimpse into somewhere

    October 4, 2009

    • As I walk slowly on the main path of street lined with different craft stands, smells of hot dogs and kettle corn waft through the air.  I come upon an artist’s stand, and one painting of a streetscape pulls me in.  A bouquet of homes comfortably nestled alongside quaint shops on a hill.   I wonder where that is. I really like that.  Go ask her.Feeling shy, I hesitate, but push myself ...

    • August 3  SHARING   Please take a bite of my PB&J.  I made it myself.  It is fine as it is. I slathered the bread and cut it so neatly; still I can’t help but want to offer some to you.  I know that to stand and smile next to you, watch you lick the peanut butter from the roof of your mouth, have you dab the jelly from the corner of my lips, will make this sandwich even better.  You ...
  • OPEN-MIC DAY 1

    July 14, 2009

    • OPEN-MIC DAY is something I used to do about once a month over at MySpace. It became so popular, eliciting by far the most comments of any blogs I've done anywhere, it even spawned Open-Mic Days on other people's blogs. The way it works is that I basically open up my blog for others to talk to my audience in the comments section. Here's a list of some of the things you can do:- ask a question ...
  • Some things I've written...

    July 5, 2009

    •    In our colorful dream, nothing lives that is not ours.  For ours is the heritage of the beloved.  Let a world of our own making, as it sleeps in its play of solidity--let this be our time that is no time.  Let it be our time to awaken to ourselves, and to one another, as we understand "one another".  Let this be our recognition of our peace, that a dream is a dream; that only ...
  • Free Ice Cream

    • Crabby Old Man    Smile! People say that all the time. Here’s what I think they mean. It takes less energy to smile than to frown. Did you know that? Smiles are free. We can share them anytime, anywhere. We can toss them out like candy.  As a rule, mine stays well oiled but there are days when I don’t use it as much. For those of you who write fiction our words are ...
  • This is the Beauty of the Internet

    April 13, 2009

    • This morning I got an email with a promise that watching this video would make my day, and it did. Thought I’d share.“For a few moments they didn't have a care in the world, regardless of what may be happening in their lives,” BoAt a German Train Station
  • My pondering mind

    December 4, 2008

    • I never thought that the internet could make the big world out there seem a little smaller until I came across an email from  a friend I haven't spoken with in a little over 15 years.  We were good friends in high school and we tried very hard to maintain a friendship in college, but once the responsibilities of paying college debt became a reality, we kind of lost touch.  She wound up finding ...
  • Q: Did you bring enough gum for everyone? (A: No.)

    September 2, 2008

    • One of the things that confused me when I was in school was the lesson of sharing.  Now, I am all for two or more people sharing resources.  Sometimes it is splitting a sandwich with a buddy, or lending my baseball glove to a guy on the other team.  I believe that the action of sharing resources is an intrinsic part of society.  There isn’t a more comforting thought than knowing your friend ...
