According to Politico 49% of Americans think our President is not mentally fit. That poll was taken before dear old Joe’s marathon news conference yesterday. The 49% number must be higher today. I challenge you to listen to any 20 minute segment of the two hour conference and tell me you think Joseph R. Biden […]
Lost Words
Spending so much time on screens, are we suffering from the Lost Words so exquisitely rhymed and put to music here? Probably more to the point, are our children not entering “the wild with care” and learning the words that matter most? Robert Macfarlane and the 8 poets and songwriters behind this stunning piece think […]
Right?
Joe Biden: “Israel has the right to defend themselves.” I’m sorry Mr. President.

Let’s start with 8 days ago, rabid settlers marching past the home of my good […]
Coming To The Father
Jesus didn’t really say “believe in me.” What he said was “be like me.” (see the article below.) He also said “you can do this, the same amazing stuff I do, even more amazing things than I do.” There is only one very simple caveat. All that is necessary is to act like him. (John […]
Relax, this is not political

A Better Place
Last night I was needing and searching for a way to get back to “a better place.” Not that there was ever a time that didn’t present its own challenges but I think you’d agree there have been times in the past that seemed sublimely free of the challenges we face today. This morning […]
Don’t Say “I’m Your Ally”
I’d like to challenge you to a small wager … hopefully large enough to get your attention. You think you’re a liberal and progressive person? I’ll bet you $100 you’re not liberal enough, or progressive enough, to hear this interview without at least one time saying to yourself “this guy is really pissing me off.” […]
Revolutionary Change

To our very great benefit she chose instead to write and direct. […]
Exquisite Anguish
Dear reader, Some of you have had this experience … those very special times when a certain song reaches so deep inside you that you burst into tears. If the beneficent universe hasn’t yet blessed you in this way I encourage you to seek for it. I woke to a whole pile of […]
