Seeing Beyond the Bullseye

What is the target. What exactly are you shooting for. What are you aiming to hit. What is the bullseye in the center of your shot. Why did you even pick up the bow and arrow in the first place. Is it about acquiring stuff. Is it about winning something. Is it finding the hidden […]

Crazy Good CrossFit at Any Age

You’re kidding me. That was the first thought that came to mind. You got to be kidding me. How many rope climbs. How many rowing sprints. How may sit ups. How many kettle bell swings. How many push ups. In what period of time. You got to be kidding. After it was over it all […]

Maybe That is Why I Love the Rain

The rain came down in buckets. It was exquisite. The sky just opened up and sheets of water kept falling. The ground got super soaked. The pool became an eternity pool. The flowers turned their brightest colors. And then, suddenly, it stopped. The sky became empty of rain. Do you remember the first heavy rain. […]

Each Day is a Creation of a Remember When

How do you measure a good day. How do you define a good day. What makes up a perfect morning. Or afternoon moment. Or late night get away. Today it was morning coffee while listening to The Band. “The Weight” always takes me on a journey. Then a Saturday Crossfit that got the heart racing…push […]

Use It Up

We stood there exhausted from the Crossfit work out of the day. Dead lifts, box jumps, ring dips over and over as the clock ticked down from 25 minutes to 0.

Acknowledge Your Fellow Travelers

The motorcycles turned off route 287 just outside of Longmont and headed up to Carter Lake. It was a winding road that passed ranches, acres of empty land and massive, out of a movie, horse farms. Then at the top is Carter Lake. Sail boats dot the water. The mountain peaks rise above the lake. […]

Your True Nature is Ageless – Express It

If love is ageless. If friendship is ageless. If caring is ageless. If kindness is ageless. If nobility is ageless. If honor is ageless. If the soul is ageless. If learning is ageless. If decency is ageless. If humor is ageless. Then don’t be sidetracked. Experiment with ageless. Don’t buy into the nonsense of ageism. […]

Love is Ageless

The furniture was moved to the sides of the room. The rented folding chairs were carefully placed around the folding tables that were set up in the middle of the now more open living room. The table cloths were spread across the tables and the settings were neatly placed at each seat. When everyone arrived […]
