The power of the possible

The power of the possible. As the day winds down I couldn’t help but think about all the “no” I heard in conversations. You know that conversation..don’t try it or it will never work..or they will say no so why even ask….well you get the idea. But ,also I saw some great positive moments , […]

A timeless choice

McQueen. Steve, that is. What does the very name signify to you?  Some called him the king of cool. Even today, so long after his death, he can be found everywhere you want to find cool…or own story..or unique…or one of a kind. You know of or watched some of his movies….Bullitt, The Great Escape, […]

One more time

Of all the images I saw  at the inauguration  it was one of the last ones that lingered with me. The President was leaving the platform and then turned back to see the crowd still cheering . He stood there and said that he wanted to take a look since he would never see this […]

The quiet, part 2

The quiet seems to have hit a chord. There was a time when quiet was alive and well. There was a time when quiet was better understood. Appreciated. Respected. Cherished.

It was early as I headed out for the morning Crossfit. As my car crossed the expansion bridge I heard some horns honking and saw a few cars cutting other cars off and everyone ,it seemed, was on a phone or texting…whether in a car or on a bike or walking on the street. It […]

The magic of the ordinary

I just learned so much over the last few days. Well, maybe it was more like rediscovering part of myself. I learned to appreciate the things that we usually ignore or , even find annoying.

Shedding the moment in the moment

I read the book when it first came out. It captured me completely. But then I watched the movie. I never thought anyone could film this story but there it was.  Wonderful.

A smile, a helping hand and time

You can’t go back. It’s that simple. You can’t go back in time. Oh, you can dream about the past. You can reflect on past events. You can wish time travel existed.  But you can’t go back. You can adjust and adapt to what happened. You can try to live with the choices made and […]

Fight the madness

Madness. How else to describe it. Absolute madness. Not only the shooting. Not only the deaths. Not only the ages of the children. Not only the  devastating loss. But the helpless feeling. The hopeless feeling. The sense of lack of any rationality to it. How to respond. How to react. What to believe. A moment […]
