I did not intend to write a post here today. But the universe works in mysterious ways, and here I am. I wrote a tongue-in-cheek bit on my other blog (which is kind of devoted to tongue-in-cheek) called Redefining “Gratitude”. Unfortunately it is far from deep and thought provoking as the title might imply. Little […]
There is a post I wrote almost a year ago that I often refer to. It is one of the first posts I wrote as I started creating my “blogging voice”. This small, on the surface possibly silly, post may be one of the most profound things that I have ever written. It is even one […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was raised Jewish. When I was younger, I was a member of a Zionist Youth organization called Young Judea. This was before I really looked at organized religion and found it was not for me. We frequently had weekend “retreats” to help us be indoctrinated into a way of thinking. I am not being judgmental by saying this. It is […]
I am not one for astrology. I believe in the interconnectedness of all things, but I don’t believe anyone can predict anything from the positions of stars in the sky. Especially anything about human nature. On the other hand, I am completely dichotomous by nature. Which is ironic since the astrologers label me Gemini. What does this have to do with my title? […]
In the shadows of memory do we truly ever learn as humans? A tragedy happens and we hide it behind the rhetoric of power seekers. We get enmeshed in the emotions of the flag wavers; the holier than thous; the haters and the fearful. And the lessons to be learned get totally obscured in the resultant […]
I have been having a struggling with words phase again. No that is not quite it. I have no problem coming up with words. Maybe even putting them together in a coherent and even somewhat skilled manner. The issue is more with the emotional content of the words. So I guess I am actually struggling with emotions again. Not […]
I sat on the bench, looking out over the lush little valley I was in. This man-made oasis of beauty in the middle of the Arizona desert was a both a haven and a challenge. I came here to reconnect. With my self. With nature. With the world. I was feeling on the cusp of some great revelation. Both at one with […]
Yesterday, I was offered The Seven Links Award by one of my blogging heroines, Kathy of reinventing the event horizon. The concept is an interesting one. it allows us to try to direct others to read those posts that mean to the most to us, using seven different categories. As is usual with the “awards”, it is […]
I am in one of those modes where I feel I need to write something, but have no idea what I want to write. So I am going to just start the fingers going on the keyboard and see where I end up. I did the unusual and actually started with a title. Rarely works that way […]
It is odd how opening the doors of Creativity can also let other things emerge. Or maybe it is not so odd. Seems to me Creativity resides in the same part of the house as Experience and Emotions. If not in the same room they definitely share the hall. So it is no wonder that […]
