The road

We all walk down this road. No way around it. The road may be long, windy, short, potholes, smooth , steep or flat. Usually it is a combination of all of those and more. We meet folks along the way. Some are friends for life and some for just a short part of the walk. […]

No delays in the now

Gifts come in strange packages. We just have to be open to them. I missed my connecting flight from Denver to Birmingham. The Dallas connection didn’t happen by 1 minute.

The gift of nature

Nature is not stressed out. Nature just is. It has no agenda. It doesn’t hatch plans, have some hidden agenda. It is pure and as fresh and new as it was on day one. The wind. The rain. The sun. The clouds. Just are. It has power when it has power and rests when it […]

You can feel it in the air

You can feel it in the air. You just know when it is present. It can’t be described except in terms that are so over used for all the wrong reasons but when it is present it makes you feel better again about our chances to get it right and tell a beautiful story of […]
