The path

There is this choice. There are so many paths that we are confronted with in our life. Honest or not. Noble or not. Selfless or selfish. Self absorbed or altruistic. Professional or not. Civil or not.  What path to take?  It depends I guess on how you define yourself. How much faith do you have […]

Hour of the Wolf

Over the last few months I have had the pleasure and honor of discussing Wolf with a number of  groups. It seems that the link with so many is the concept of time, choices and consequences. Time is such a gift. A gift that is usually ignored until it has just about run out. It […]

The connection

Sometimes it just happens. Not planned.  Not expected. Not anticipated. There is this connection between certain people. It is unexplainable. There is just this connection. Is it spiritual? Is it a knowing? A silent history? A coming together. You feel safe. You feel known. You feel secure. You feel like you can be yourself and […]

One

I have been reflecting on life and what we cherish most as the days wind along. As each day goes by what is it that you want and truly need to do and be. Especially as I went through the recent surgery I again realized what I want to do and be. I want to […]

Past present

Today is one year since quintuple bypass heart surgery. A year. 365 days. The past and the present collide at moments like this. Time becomes irrelevant.

You hear a lot of words like great, super, spectacular  but not  “goodness”.  And yet goodness feels like what is needed now more than ever. Kindness. Decency.  Generosity. Goodness. Goodness to me seems to be connected […]

Spread the message

It is easy to just keep doing the same things over and over. The routine. Yet each day is unique. The day should not be a rut. The relationships. The connections. The unfolding legacy. Each day is an endangered species. Each day you can begin again.  Each morning the sun rises and there is unlimited […]

New year thoughts.

Every year the ritual takes place. Farewells and resolutions.  This time it feels different.  It feels more. Maybe the health issues this past year added to the  drama of life. Open heart surgery I guess gets its point across.  We are strong and fragile at the same time.  The ultimate human paradox. So how to […]

Not even a contest

Not even a contest. You watch the sunset. Or maybe you are an early riser and watch the sunrise. During the day you take a break from the routine and look up. Or look to the horizon. Or maybe you take a moment during the day and watch your child play. You reflect that you […]

The unexpected.

It is always there. Sometimes lurking. Sometimes kind of even expected .  But not.  The unexpected. Not have to be bad or good. Just not anticipated at that moment in time or in your life. The accident.  The injury.  The wrong turn. The right turn and happy surprise. The good news. The sudden sad news. […]
