You. Are. Here.   October 19, 2019.  Yep, here I am.  Rockin’ my routine and working within the cozy confines of my comfort zone. I am not an adventurous person.  I have a deep appreciation for structure and the beauty of things remaining the same. Uniformity. Straight Lines. Symmetry. I’ve got everything lined up inContinue reading “HERE”

A temper tantrum.Typically used to describe what tends to happen when a toddler aged child doesn’t get what he / she wants. It’s a part of being a parent to watch your toddler try out his or her independence as you continually work to guide the child in the testing of his or her boundaries.Continue reading “The Glorious Experiencing”

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day A human, broken, and messy perspective is met with a battle for faith in the mighty works of God that are unseen yet supremely powerful and ultimately victorious. An unlikely scenario for a Christmas song. Based on a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, this song was written atContinue reading “Inside a Christmas Song”

Curled up inside myself. No, that’s not right. The truth is that I’m not inside myself, but I wish I could be. Instead, it’s more like I’m bent down and around and around in a very unusual depiction of a ball. Sure, it’s cramped and very dark, but at the same time it’s the sourceContinue reading “Broken toward whole”

Don’t know, don’t care. Liar. OK, here’s the truth: Don’t know, do care. There is so much. The lack of so much in the life of one I love more than anything. Care more than the person who should care. Don’t know, do care. Don’t know, but yearn to know, long to know. If IContinue reading “Introspect”

Images…So many images. So many people. So many men and women and children depicted in the worst nightmares they never dreamed but have been forced to live. And then there are the images seared in my heart of so many brave and compassionate men and women who risked their lives and worked many hours withContinue reading “Harvey and Beyond”

Regroup, redirect, refocus, re-visualize. Reframe. This thing. It happens. That means the journey is headed this way. I frame the horizon and take my brush and paint the rest of the path beyond the reaches of my vision. This is how it is, this is what will be. But then, that thing. It happens. ItContinue reading “And…Again.”

Time. It invokes many different images for people from all walks of life. So many facets of time shape us. Fond memories of special heartwarming events, both simple and elaborate. Painful memories that we wish we could erase. Life changing moments, both good and bad. Then there is the day-in-day-out time dance. Always forward movement,Continue reading “It’s About Time”

Come with me on a journey of the heart. As a child, I loved to pretend to be someone else, somewhere else, doing something else.  And as an adult, I still love to imagine, but with a different goal.  I find that imagining sometimes helps me understand and relate better.  So come, take a littleContinue reading “He Chose. I Choose. A Journey of the Heart”

This is me and this is where I was recently. Still feeling the sting from the fallout.  And that’s OK.  It’s painful and brutal, but it’s OK because I am never alone.  And I’m working very hard to learn and grow.  Very slow forwards backwards progress.  But I suppose I get an E for effort,Continue reading “The Pretense”
