William Butler Yeats on Tragedy & Joy

February 28th, 2008 · Comments Off on William Butler Yeats on Tragedy & Joy · Honest Reflections, Spiritual Journey, Uncategorized

William Butler Yeats, Irish poet and Nobel Prize for Literature winner, captures my aging sense of the flow of life in this fallen and broken world: “Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him during temporary periods of joy.” This life is full of thorns and thistles. God didn’t make the […]

Simon & Garfunkel on a Winter's Day

February 25th, 2008 · Comments Off on Simon & Garfunkel on a Winter's Day · Honest Reflections, Uncategorized

A winter’s day In a deep and dark December; I am alone, Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow. I am a rock, I am an island. I’ve built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship; friendship […]

Ain't Talkin'

February 19th, 2008 · Comments Off on Ain't Talkin' · Character, Uncategorized

As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine I was passing by yon cool crystal fountainSomeone hit me from behind Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’Through this weary world of woeHeart burnin’, still yearnin’No one on earth would ever knowThey say prayer has the power to healSo pray […]

November 18th, 2007 · Comments Off on Which Universe Are We Talking About? · Uncategorized

There are many reasons to be thankful, and this week we take a brief break to celebrate our blessings. Some are already doing that from what I read. . . . The November 2007 issue of Architectural Digest brought my first exposure to the wisdom of our cultural moment. In an inviting article about a […]

If Wishes Were Horses

December 12th, 2006 · Comments Off on If Wishes Were Horses · Uncategorized

There is an old English rhyme which goes, in part, "if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride." It’s all too easy to go through life wishing rather than riding. I think it’s because, too often, our culture and own failures convince us that we know what’s best. That we could and should be the […]

Blogging Again

December 4th, 2006 · Comments Off on Blogging Again · Uncategorized

It’s been months since I blogged. Not that I haven’t had a lot of thoughts, observations, and musings . . . just not a lot of energy. My health, year one post-chemo, has not been good. I manage to catch every bug on the block and then hold on to it for weeks at a […]

Scattershooting from the Big Island

June 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on Scattershooting from the Big Island · Uncategorized

Scattershooting while wondering whatever happened to geography teachers. . . . First off let me report that the Big Island is not the island of Oahu — the island that features Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, etc. The Big Island is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands, and it’s real name, somewhat confusingly, is […]
