Time does seem to be flying by, accelerating and propelling us toward the date that has already reached mythical proportions in our time. Today, it is very rare indeed, to find someone who does not react to the notion of 2012; each in his or her own way, but react they do! As mindful as I am today about 2012, I’ve never taken the time to stop... take a ... Continue Reading >>

Farewell to Facebook
Today, I left Facebook. Can’t even remember how long I’ve been on Facebook - it has become such a habit of body and mind. When bored, I would flip through postings for pictures of my family members; updates on Gaia’s latest global messages; or something funny or inspirational to propel me through my day. And those are but a few of the reasons for my ... Continue Reading >>
Finding my tribe…
Perhaps, if we can find grace in our own mortality, we can find courage in our day-to-day expression of Life. One of the great benefits of ‘retirement’ is a redistribution of time.

In that query, I am filled with the sense of a great and joyous expectation… and an underlying, nagging feeling that all is not right in the world that ... Continue Reading >>
Attachments and Stories
This one has been nagging at me for a while…. Saturday is the Baby Shower for my truly delightful daughter-in-law and Mom-to-be. My Grandson is expected to make his arrival early July. I find myself wondering many things about him. As much as I know it is expected that he will learn from all of us, will we be wiling to learn about ourselves, from him? He ... Continue Reading >>
To Share or Not to Share: that is the question….
I choose to stay informed. In particular, I choose to stay informed about climate change, AI development and the transhumanism movement - my top three on a much longer list. In addition, bits and pieces of ‘life’ drift in and out of my awareness. These include local events in my community, what my friends and colleagues are up to, the lives of my sons and ...
