Last night we saw Garrison Keillor at the Paramount in Denver. The art of the story teller. The humorist. The observer. The clever eye that has a kindness about the things it sees. The connection between us. The beginnings and ends. The connecting threads that bind us together. How I wish there were more Garrisons […]

The deep
The deep. The connection between us must go deep. There seems to be surface living today. Almost hit and run connections. Rushing someplace else. Looking away. Texting in the middle of calls. What would it feel like to put away the distractions and be present with yourself and with one who matters. I have been […]
True north
We all need a true north. A core belief that gets us through the dark moments. A moral compass when confronted with challenges of all shapes and sizes. I have come to believe it is a sense of personal meaning for how we spend our time here. It seems that contentment is a by product […]
Heaven
I remember when I was very young. My dad sat with me and said maybe this is heaven. Maybe where we are is heaven and we just have to embrace it. See it and live it. Maybe this is the Garden of Eden now. But our choices determine whether we recognize it or walk right […]
Passion
We have this one chance …as far as we know. This one opportunity to tell a story. Our choices then write that story on a daily basis. Ever wonder why some never tell the story that is waiting to be told? Holding back? Fearful of the critics? Yet each day the time is running out. […]
Back to shore
Sooner or later all the boats, swimmers, and other travelers need to come back to shore. That is life’s journey. So while you are out there travel bravely. Seek the horizon. Watch the sunrise and sunset in some romantic spot. Then just remember the return trip is always present. Travel safely.
The gentle moments
I sat alone at the Miami restaurant table having a glass of wine. It was a quiet Miami night. The restaurant was just starting to come alive. The elderly man slowly walked in. He was struggling with each step but his two adult children were gently guiding him. The staff clearly knew him and helped […]
The river
It is the same but different. The river flows. It is there. It is always the same yet always moving and different from moment to moment. Time is like the river. The same but different. It flows. It is always moving. And we travel in it. We are passengers in the river of time. It […]
What counts
What counts? Think about it. What really counts? In the end what counted? It turns out it is all the things you can’t buy. You can’t purchase. You can’t barter. It turns out to be the intangibles in life. Intangible matters. Character. Nobility. Moral compass. Decency. Love. Hope. Caring. Legacy. What can you add to […]
A walk
Telluride. Film festival. Labor Day. A walk through films, interviews, faces, meeting up with friends and strangers, appreciating art and ideas. I realized that that is what life is all about. A walk through ideas, an appreciation of life as an art form, meeting up with friends and strangers who may become friends, and seeing […]
