  • I’ve Never Been to Spain

    Last night I remembered this great song by Three Dog Night. I played it a few times and thought about traveling. I’ve never been to Spain, and I’ll probably never get there. I’d like to Tango in high heels and swing my hair. Never going to Angkor Wat, but I wish I could. The vibes…

  • Spacing Out

    If Einstein were alive today, I imagine his sheer delight at beholding the space/time discoveries coming in from the James Webb Telescope. “When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.” Albert Einstein. This Alan Watts quote also…

  • Counting on joy

    Often we are asked to list every day what constitutes a joyful experience for us. I never lasted more than a day or two of keeping track. Today, I did think about it because… it’s Sunday.

  • Where’s your church?

    Church is always in your mind!

  • It’s the time of the season

    In the past few months, I lost my sweet, lovely hairstylist–she was only 43 and I had been her client for 15+ years. Several friends and extended family have lost loved ones to Covid-19 and other illnesses. It’s still a hard time for so many of us. My Sunday sermon is short: Love your friends…

  • Could things get any more weird?

    I think about so many things every day and sometimes in the middle of the night.

  • Easter Basket Brain Candy

    Patti Smith begins singing her amazing “Gloria” with “Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine.” Quite a thought on Easter morning, I guess. I do believe Jesus lived and died for forgiveness. This week is a testament to forgiveness as we celebrate a reunion of my husband and his daughter who had been ‘estranged’…

  • Caring for our Earth is a soulful expression

    How would you explain your human soul if you can’t include the environment in which your human body lives? It sustains us and supports us, and we as humans were tasked by the ‘Most High’ with caring for our planet. When we do, we express a soulful caring for all living things.

  • The past is past except when it isn’t

    I’ve been asking myself lately, why, oh why, do I keeping thinking about things from my past–specifically from the 1960s and 70s? Especially, when I can’t remember what I ate for lunch or my neighbor’s last name? I questioned does this happen to others and why? I Googled: why do older folks dream of the…

  • There’s Something Happening Here

    I think we can all agree there is definitely something happening here. Today (May 16, 2020) the World Chart reads: United States Coronavirus Cases: 1,484,579, Deaths: 88,523 Even so, there is a segment of stupids who still believe it is all a hoax, the numbers are inflated, precautions are a violation of their civil rights…
