We’ve all had things happen that left us pondering: wow, that was strange or what a coincidence.  Brief events that leave you doing a little double take because of their timing or strangely coincidental nature.  They often leave me asking — wow, what were the odds of that happening?
This week I had four fluke-ish events [...]

Chapter 1

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost … I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter 2
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I [...]

This week a wise teacher reminded me of the old adage: all roads lead
to Rome.
I remember that at one time all roads did lead to Rome.  But why do

of it?
I believe it reveals that there are no wrong turns in [...]

Heart Songs

There are many things in life

Pursue those.
~Anonymous~
What catches your heart today?

like the one about the man who
walked down the street
& turned into
a drugstore.
There was some secret in the moment
of that turning—when he has one thing,

time you do, you will be certain to find something you have never seen before.
-Alexander Graham Bell

We’ve all had them – challenges and circumstances that leave their unforgettable impact and change us forever.  Abraham aptly terms it: the contrast.
