The edge

Sometimes it feels like you walk the edge. Close to tipping. Sometimes it feels like the country itself is on the edge. The country itself is close to tipping. Yet I know that my friends are all decent caring thoughtful people. So we have to remember this as the days unfold.  Sometimes we have to […]

The flipping coin

It is all a flipping coin. Every day. Every moment. All these coins are flipping in the air. The randomness of life and choices and events colliding. All we can do is  stay focused.

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 […]
