If This year Feels Different To You, You’re Right!
It was past midnight. I was alone, completely lost. Having no idea where I was in a strange town, confused by the number of cars out that late at night, I was driving down the middle of the road. Yes, I couldn’t even make up my mind which lane I was supposed to be in. […]

Current Technology Moves To Making Something Out Of Nothing
You’ve heard of it I am sure. 3-D printing has arrived – the process of making a three-dimensional solid object from a digital model. It is being used to make exact reproductions of things from human tissue to cars. Although the technology has been around since the early 80’s, like all things tech, it has […]

Scan Yourself Daily
You probably know what brought this on. It was our computers. Out of nowhere, they each developed a problem. Ads started popping up suggesting we “do this, buy that, fix this;” it was terrible. It was obvious that we had some kind of virus, or at least a very nasty intruder. After a little research, […]

Follow The Hawk Into Present Possibilities
Outside the glass door, a movement caught my eye. I looked up just in time to see the large red-shouldered hawk lift off the deck onto the railing, and then into the trees. I have seen this many times before, he is a regular visitor, and he, or other members of his family, has a […]

It happened in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLV. For all of us watching the game at home, the microphones picked up what was intended to be a private moment between a coach and a player. With only moments left in the game, and their team trailing behind, the coach said to the player, […]

How Habits And Happiness Are Life Partners
Every week or so for the past six years, I have made up a big pot of mixed spices, nuts, fruit, and grains that Del and I eat as our morning breakfast. For the first four of those years I used a Teflon coated pot and a spoon that wouldn’t scratch the Teflon coating. The […]

Welcome To The Guilt Free Zone
Del was explaining to a new person in his Taiji class how to follow along, enjoy the process, and not worry about what she didn’t know yet. Earlier, a member of the class mentioned to me that she felt guilty for not knowing how to do what she was learning. So I added, “And there […]

Come Live Outside The Box
On the TV Series Battlestar Galactica, Captain Adama asks Starbuck, a top woman pilot, to design a battle plan that will work. With almost 50,000 lives depending on the outcome, he asks her to think outside of the box. She answers, “I live outside the box.” In the book, Children of The Mind – one […]

Why Living A Story Is Not A Good Thing
I love a good story. It doesn’t matter what kind; mystery, romance, fantasy, or drama, they are all wonderful. I can drift away for hours in a good story. If it is an excellent story, I will feel the presence of the characters for days, and sometimes years. Their essence becomes part of how I […]

Who Is A Chosen One?
If you are of a certain age, you remember Romper Room. During the show the host would take out her magic mirror, look through it as if she could see us in our living rooms, and say, “I see Tommy, and Paul, and Joe, and Mary. I see you!” Even if she didn’t say our […]
