  • Responsibility

    You always have a choice. Don’t ever believe you don’t. Whatever you do, it’s a decision and you have to accept responsibility for it. That’s when honor becomes more than empty words. Lynn Flewelling “It flew into my hand.”, he said. He was holding a paper with a gold star and the name Susan carefully…

  • Consequences

    Kahalu’u, Hawaii This week’s post will be short. I managed to contract COVID and even though I am fully vaccinated, I feel as though I may be sitting down to a banquet of consequences. I’m sure I could have done a better job of avoiding this. C’est la vie.

  • Hello Self, Are You There?

    “My friend…care for your psyche…know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves” Socrates I’ve been thinking about a meditation I did this morning led by Jay Shetty. A former monk and a well known life coach, he was named in the Forbes 30 under 30. Impressive, however I…

    Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than the one where they sprang up. Oliver Wendell Holmes This week’s post grew out of two influences.

    A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince A large part of my thinking comes from the right side of my brain. Math, science, logic. No thank you. With the exception of thinking…

  • Editing a Prince

    What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are. C.S. Lewis This photo I took at Versailles is one of the few images I have of royalty. Harry and Meghan think they have it rough, it could be…

  • Rabbit vs Rat

    A Neighborhood Rabbit “Hallo Rabbit,” he said, “is that you?” “Let’s pretend it isn’t” said Rabbit, “and see what happens.” A.A. Milne I’ve been looking through my photo library searching for this image, of a rabbit, I took while on a walk one summer. Everyone likes rabbits. They are adorable, tiny, balls of fur. I…

  • Women of a Certain Age

    “Some guy said to me: Don’t you think you’re too old to sing rock and roll? I said: You’d better check with Mick Jagger” Cher Many years ago, I received this postcard to a new exhibit. When I checked with the gallery and found out the painting was $4,000, I framed the postcard. Sadly, I…
