Spotting a Baby bird outside my window, I watched to see if she was in distress... And here comes her mom or dad! A few seconds later, after mom left, one of her siblings flew in and knocked her off the railing! They tussled on the ground until the intruder... Continue reading

That we dedicate a day for the celebration of the Earth is absurd and also necessary. The, so called, "most intelligent" creatures that life has spawned can't even protect that which sustains their very existence. (It wasn't always this way.)

Hidden Gifts...

What I have been trying not to say out loud, is that there are blessings or gifts hidden in tragedies, and these gifts may not be obvious for some time to come, but they are there. If we can make a commitment not to let the anger and helplessness allow... Continue reading

Imagine a world where the inspired leaders of our young nation had been inspired enough to include women in those first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. Would there have been the wholesale murder of the indigenous people who helped us... Continue reading

I am a thing among other things. There was a little book in the "Tiny Library" next to the little playground which is next to the community garden in my neighborhood. My young friend wanted to play on his own for a little bit, so I picked up the little... Continue reading

How Are You Doing?

It's that time of year - in a very odd year _ when emotions are raw and memories haunt you. Riding waves of feelings, not knowing where they come from, or why, or how long, you hang on. Storms come and they go, and you hang on. You hang on.... Continue reading
