I love the movies where ants are the characters and even a blade of grass seems ten stories tall. Match boxes are houses, thimbles are boats, cats are ferocious beasts. A whole new perspective. That’s us in the universe. Even our planet earth… Continue Reading “Big God – Small Us…”

For a four year old the shallow end of the pool is safe, but the deep end, forget it. The shallow end is where we want our lives to be – safe, familiar, nothing we can’t handle. In this life, before we know it, something… Continue Reading “And…the Brave”

Freedom? An ideal, a wish, a reality? It is hard in a world bent on pleasing self to find true freedom. Whether under a tyrannical government or being a citizen of a country like America, if we define freedom by human reasoning or ideals then that… Continue Reading “Of the Free…”

Filled, overflowing – do you ever feel ‘filled up’ – the satisfying kind? Like when the skies are blue, no one is in crisis, and you sigh contentedly? That’s my moment right now. We all know in this world that ‘feeling’ can change in the… Continue Reading “Passing It On…”

Sometimes you just have to be quiet to hear. That’s hard for me. You? I’m busy even when I’m not busy. If I’m sitting, I’m kicking my leg or tapping my feet. Sit still? Be quiet? It’s sounds great, but that old saying… Continue Reading “Learning Living…”
