  • 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.…

  • Trip, Trip

    Namaste Was on my way out… Called my usual taxi driver and he answered saying he was in the hospital due to a lung infection. Curious. This is a guy who is proud of his e-cigars. Did he get the infection from one, or did he get the infection from whatever he was weaning himself…

  • 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 Big Picture

    Namaste I grew up hearing that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  I relegated that to some vague concept of Chemistry because it was too scary to apply it to everyday life.  It works perfectly in that giving would automatically activate receiving, but when I think of doing good and getting bad as…

  • 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…

  • Imagine

    Namaste How did the Christmas season treat you? Mine was all over the place. So I’m sitting here reflecting while listening to Sandi Patti: In The Name Of The Lord. On repeat of course. It’s one of those songs you never get enough of. I remember a time in Church history when you proved your…

  • 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,…

  • Athletic Blues

    Namaste At the end of the football game neither side scored. It was just an evening sweat and I sat watching not understanding most of it. I was invited to the game by the Coach of Team A. Having never met the Coach before, I simply walked across the field to a man who sat…

  • Primordial Attributes

    Namaste We’re in…the New Year. Doesn’t feel new; feels like my regular comfortable clothing with a few stitches missing in the seam or a partly loose hem. But I hope it is new for you, though I rather suspect it will not remain that way. It will toss up a few surprises…the old things coming…

  • Blooming Bosom

    Namaste I am back on the job with my Muslim friend.  Treatments were aborted because he was not satisfied with the pace at which he was recovering.  We often forget, or prefer not to appreciate, that the roots of our physical issues are not fundamentally physical and that healing has to take place at that other…
