Deep See Diving
I don’t like bike riding. Well, that’s not totally true. I do like the feeling of the wind in my face and a sense of accomplishment. I don’t like going ten miles when I haven’t ridden for weeks–umm–months. And since we usually ride single file, I miss the communication, the closeness. Those are the things […]
Through the Time Tunnel
Monday, September 13, 2010 I enter a time tunnel and stand in front of Andersen Center, what used to be Andersen Hall. I’m surprised that it still stands. I’m overwhelmed. I look up and see my room. On the corner. With the bay windows. I must go inside. But my husband says we can’t. There […]
Surprise!
Busy days. Cluttered days. How do we break through and create a sense of “HUH?” Like finding a beautifully wrapped gift on a favorite chair. I didn’t see that coming.

Baggage Enough
“Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.” ~Charles Dudley Warner But when is it baggage enough? We did not take the umbrella or the chairs or the cooler. We saw many who traveled the path bearing those things and more. Some even pushing and yanking strollers through the soft sand. […]
Cornucopia
The wave starts from the west and fans east rounds the curve and travels north rustling applause cicadas chirp-cheer geese honk above and tasseled heads bob and nod He is good abundantly. “Fields of golden grain in the land, cresting the mountains in wild exhuberance Cornucopias of praise, praises springing from the city like grass […]
