  • Pride Goeth Before a Fall

    November 23, 2009

    • November 23  PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A FALL   In truth, pride goes wherever it wants, it’s pride.  Pride wanders alone, for no one enjoys its company.  Pride travels far but gets nowhere.  Pride rises above reality and seeps beneath the surface.  When pride wears out, love and honesty poke holes in it until it is grounded and transforms to humility.  Pride’s past is remembered with flush ...
  • Jellyfish and Peanut Butter Cards

    November 22, 2009

    • November 22  JELLYFISH AND PEANUT BUTTER CARDS    Jellyfish and peanut butter cards make for busy days and cheerful nights, sunlit at the beach and lantern light filled with double-decker solitaire.  Camping as a way of life suits some as they run from their lives.  For the more balanced, camp is a temporary retreat.  To the overly invested, camping is an aberration, a threat to the ...

  • Driveway Time

    November 19, 2009

    • November 19  DRIVEWAY TIME   Layer after layer of blue stack the sky, the moon risen and the sun dipping away.  I wait for the twin lights, the constellation of headlights---my ride to the meeting.  It will be the entry vehicle to a world of population, leaving behind the galaxy of me, the single star. I stand silent and the feeling of fellowship carries the miles.  Laughter flies the winds ...
