It has been such a pleasure to meander through the hallways of WordPress. Each doorway opens into a new and fascinating experience. When I first started blogging it felt very vulnerable yet boastful. Who am I to post my photos? Who wants to read what I have to say? It all seemed very self-important. Then … More I’d Like to Thank…
I have abandoned my writing most nearly a month now. At first I didn’t miss it, I felt I had nothing new to contribute and who was reading it anyway. But about a week in I got a little sad, longing for the click of the words across the blank screen. I busied myself with … More Plan B
I went to Christmas on Easter for Sunrise Service. I arrived at 7, just as the park was opening. There was no one there to greet me or hand me a bulletin. There were no pews, no organ, no minister. But there was a hawk sitting atop a telephone pole watching as I parked, a … More Christmas on Easter
Cocoa Beach, FL You are made of light. I have seen it; when you were feeling a little sad and forgot to laugh it off. I saw it once when you didn’t feel good. You were too tired to apologize for…everything. There is no need to be sorry. Never apologize for being. When you … More Being of Light

Without prompting or hesitation the glorious fiery orb makes its debut. Darkness relents to light. Its entrance slow and … More Cycles
Blue Springs State Park, Orange City, FL Overwhelmed. It’s a word I hear a lot – sometimes from others, sometimes it slips from my lips. During a recent such bout of the O word I endeavored to define it for myself. For many it just means there’s too much to be done and not enough … More The Road Between
“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” Saint Augustine Discovery Bay, Jamaica: I share the photo of Jamaica because it was this trip that forced me to get my passport, taking me off the single page and thrusting me out into the world. … More Signs
Where you place your eyes is important. What you choose to look at throughout the day can shape your mood, your outlook and your life; if I may be dramatic. I think you know it’s true. We take our world in through our senses. We are very picky about what we eat. The softness of … More Making Sense
It’s happening again. Like all chronic conditions the symptoms are easily recognizable. Sometimes they slam right into me like a freight train and all I can do is respond in kind, quick and fierce. Attack back. Other times, like now, they creep in, allowing me time to ponder, cope, maybe reverse course or at least … More Dis-Ease
