  • drought haiku

    I'm not all that spry
But I can still kick your ass
Get off my dead lawn!

  • stuck

    Learning the same things,
different words,
same message.
Singing the same songs,
different tunes,
same ideas.
Sitting in the same chairs,
different fabric,
same view.

Einstien said there's insanity in repetition
while expecting different results.
There's also indifference in repetition
when expecting the same results.

Learn new things in new ways.
Inspect the impassable.
Expect the impossible.

  • an irish blessing

    May you live long enough, love deep enough
and make time enough for family and friends
to call your life full on the hour that it ends.

  • grace

    "...one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
It seems even in something as simple as a pledge a child can memorize, the varied interpretations today are as far apart as they have ever been.
Grace is the answer - not divine, but the everyday grace we can give each other in our differences. It could be amazing....

  • turning

    There are moments in life 
when nothing makes sense.
No amount of 
ingenuity or strength 
can get you out of the 
darkness.
In those moments, 
some turn to God,
some turn to family, 
some turn to therapy,
some turn and run.
The measure of a soul
isn't where you turn
when faced with
senslessness, 
but when you get through it,
whether you help others
through their darkest 
moments.
The only light someone 
may be able to see
is you.
