  • Visiting Therapist

    Namaste Today I was visiting with another therapist. There I sat on her veranda, we had just finished lunch, when a car pulled up. She was not expecting anyone else, but peered to see who it was. Three ladies alighted. Then her daughter remembered to say that someone had called for her earlier. Hmmm. The…

  • Learning to Lean

    Namaste Jagged Little Pill album on blast. Alanis is screaming at me through Forgiven in this moment. I’m nose deep in my blog archives and some of these experiences require spirits in a shot glass, but I’m settling for alternative rock. Come on down memory lane with me, again, if you remember reading this one.…

  • Older Adult Intimacy

    Namaste With over a decade of going into geriatric homes to provide therapy I have seen that it holds true that while jokes are a frequent occurrence in our day-to-day activities, little time or attention is devoted to sexuality, and more so as it pertains to elders. The reality is that sexuality is a core…

  • Weightloss

    Namaste Apparently turning a new leaf on the calendar is the only change some of us made. I was ready for bed when the phone rang. I looked at the phone and sighed. A call came from that number at 1:05pm, 1:06pm (because I hung up within seconds of the first call, which I did…

  • Glitches

    Namaste Getting back to that prayer meeting…  A member was asked to give a brief exhortation that night.   Brief was disregarded.  I am always fascinated at how in the name of being enthused by the Holy Ghost, one does as one pleases at the expenses of others, some of whom obviously had time constraints and…

  • The Kernel

    Namaste In my recent browsing of the web I found a humorous article written about two years ago.   In it a writer with whom I have a curious relationship – I admire him without necessarily looking up to him – was criticized for writing columns that have ‘no coherent, developed thought on anything.’  I must…

  • Inner Massage

    Namaste It is always interesting how I never know what I am going to write about next, then something happens and a long string of words ensue. Let me tell you what happened…  My friend called to thank me for loaf of bread I sent her and inquired of the ingredients as she felt we…

  • Options

    Namaste I am on vacation (don’t ask where), but I’m still doing massages at my discretion…as if it was any other way. It was after 8pm when someone called to find out if I do massage and ting and I was in no mood to ask him to clarify what he meant, nor to explain what…

  • Lessons in Twine

    Namaste We arrive here with a ball of twine, and we skip and twist and wind and it gets all knotted up and we still don’t realize that the thing we are playing with is the number of our days. It is time. The time allotted to us on the face of this Earth. Thankfully,…

  • Gluteal Massage

    Namaste The dialogue in my head starts like this: Eh…watch nah…nah fuh seh nuttin eh, but ting nah regula wid dah man. I was having a discourse with Mr. Toco who lets me see a little more of his world each time we meet. There I was, giving him a massage in bed while he…
