Life perspectives from a wandering mind

  • Rambling With Good News

    Standing on a street corner without a soap box, Yelling , “Let’s redefine good news like falling in love.” Used to be a major gap between good news and love But lately the distance between them has narrowed And if it is good news to fall in love, or be in love, Or, to love […]

  • I’m Endangered Now…

    I’m endangered now that humans are taking over Beaches and shorelines where I nest–the Snowy Plover.

  • Watching Fog

    I met a man who wouldn’t watch fog move up the hillside. “I don’t have time.”  “It makes no sense.”   I didn’t respond because fog was moving up the hillside. Soon he disappeared.

  • The Saturday Question:

    Do you have great thoughts when you are far away from work? Even though I enjoyed my various jobs over the past 50 years (Yikes!), I found that when I took time away from work, my thoughts would become highly creative “and fun to be with.” Sadly, I simply didn’t take enough time off over […]

  • Not Enough…

  • Out of Balance
