Each day stands alone. Each day has its own story. Each day begins and ends. Each day is an endangered species. Each day is fragile. Frail. Ageless. And each day can be the beginning of a new adventure or the end of the entire tale. So think about it. No one gets out of life […]

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. […]
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 […]
The hero’s journey
We are all on one. Each of us. There is always a challenge. An obstacle. Sooner or later we are confronted with it. Our moment of truth. Are we victim, observer or hero. It is so easy to turn away. But we must not. We must face our challenge. There is that high noon moment. […]
Bypass
I had bypass surgery 6 months ago this coming Wednesday. 5 bypasses. I am back at crossfit challenging myself to be more. Testing the limits of healing and the body’s response. I am pushing forward. I realized once again that the gift is fragile. Yet the body and spirit are amazing. We are the ultimate […]
A question of character
It all comes down to a question of character. There is always the obstacle. There is always the fall. There is always a failure somewhere along the journey. But then even in moments of success and clarity when the hurdle is overcome, it is a question of character. The honorable, decent, gracious manner and style […]
