I still stub my toe on the way to cake. This was a story we heard from Abraham on one of their cruises. During this cruise, it was Esther’s birthday. She’d gone to bed for the night, when a knock came to her door. Stumbling her way to the door in the dark, she stubbed [...]

…. and ghosts! Oh my! I’ve experienced my first certifiable ghostly apparition! My daughter and I came home from shopping yesterday. We walked inside and my dog stood in the breakfast nook area growling, snorting, barking and then turned on her heels scampering up the stairs. Later in the night, my husband took her [...]
Revering the Trees

For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary [...]

Posted this almost exactly a year ago and stumbled on it again just the other day. I love my own sweet voice of wisdom here. It reminded me that though I had moments where I thought I had lost everything I know deep down, it was never really lost to begin with. It was right [...]

The ordinary miracles begin. Somewhere a signal arrives: “Now,” and the rays come down. A tomorrow has come. Open your hands, lift them: morning rings all the doorbells; porches are cells for prayer. Religion has touched your throat. Not the same now, you could close your eyes and go on full of light. And [...]
For Free

Joni Mitchell wrote a song “For Free” many years ago. It was the song about the sax (?) player, playing on a noisy street corner. A song of how everyone passed his music by. That song left an indelible imprint, a resolve in me to take less for granted. I wanted to notice, to appreciate [...]

I posted the lyrics to Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” a few weeks ago. Fran, one of my blog readers, reminded me of another one of his songs, “Suzanne”. Lyrics below and a youtube video from 1976 with both Leonard Cohen and Judy collins singing it. Judy Collins was my introduction to Leonard Cohen. Her earlier recordings [...]
