Thank You and Please…
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. One of the many things for which I am thankful is the community that reads, follows, subscribes, and comments on this blog. I write it for the pure of joy of putting thoughts on a page, exploring my own wanderings down an imaginary intellectual, mental or spiritual path. Writers write to share…

Just Breathe…
When I am rankled by small everyday disturbances or overcome by world events, I remind myself to breathe. Just breathe. I use it as a prayer or meditation, repeating “Breathe in Peace, Breathe out Love.” Sometimes it takes a few cycles for me to believe it, but eventually the breath slows, my mind relaxes, and…

Be Present…
Last weekend I went to a football game. I get that college football is a big deal to many. I don’t get why. But I went along, claiming neutrality and even painting my nails lots of colors to support all the teams. I planned to people-watch and my sister suggested I do so with a theme,…

Life is But a Blip…
Our time on this earthly plane is no more than a blip on the radar of the circle of life. That sounds so depressing, but is it? If one’s life is reduced to a mere speck in the time, space continuum, what does that mean? I think it means we have been given a great…
