This week I was listening to David Whyte. If you are unfamiliar with David, he is an English poet and organizational thinker. In his discussion, he put words to what has been rumbling around my head over the last months. “Most people are 7-10 years behind the frontier of where they are in their life….if … Continue reading When things fade…
A Taoist story There once was a farmer who lived outside a small village. He cared for his son whom he loved dearly, and his horse who helped plow the fields. One day his beautiful horse ran away. His neighbors gathered saying, “We are so sorry your horse ran away! That is such bad luck!” … Continue reading We’ll see…
The match was struck, the candles lit. I rolled out my mat and settled my rather stiff morning body onto the cushion. Headphones on, the music slid through the tired spaces in my brain and I took a deep breathe. As if joining in, various members of the fur family usually take their places around … Continue reading When it doesn’t go quite as planned…

I recently purchased additional Cloud storage for photos, documents, old resumes, and graduate study papers I will never read again. I am grateful for this invention … Continue reading Cloud
This snowy February followed a January finale of bitter cold.

We've barely reached the month's mid point, and we are already up to our … Continue reading In the Dark, Light
"Remember to clean the toilet...when the snow melts, pick up the dog poo...and send that email to Susan...why does my knee itch?...yawn...no Stewart, I am not petting you now...Alexa, what is the temperature?...I wonder when the bird was last fed...ommmmm" This is what it sounds like in my head for the first minutes of meditation … Continue reading Interrupt the Pattern
Our favorite weather phenomena visited much of the country this week, the Polar Vortex. For those of you unfamiliar, it is the bank of cold air that normally sits over the North Pole. During winter months it expands, shifts and as many of us experienced this past week, moves southward to send us into a … Continue reading Shivering Cows…
Nothing moved in the snow-covered garden. Stillness gripped everything to my left and my right with the exception of the slowly grazing horses to the east and the circling presence of my geriatric Sheltie, Autumn.
