Two of my favorite characters are Miss Spinster and Judge I.M. Oldenbald. I like them because they wear the same clothes much of the time. Judge Oldenbald has lots of liver spots on his bald pate and smells musty. Miss Spinster teaches school. Their conversations are boring. Until Judge Oldenbald...

Flashback Fridays! I'm very much enjoying ruffling through the old crate of notebooks. These poems are better than a journal. Less minutiae, more emotional memory. This one goes back to late undergrad and speaks of a young man who is having a hard time wrangling someone he cares about. Poor...

A Nova program last night on PBS questioned if humans and Neanderthals might have ever mated in Europe, oh, some 40,000 years ago. Several anthropologists said it was doubtful. I said, to the television screen, ``Are you kidding?'' Sex is powerful, and someone having a different shaped brow is not...

2Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (KJV). In order for our relationship with God to be pure, we must be free. Without freedom, we are still in bondage to the things of this world. If the spirit of...

What’s not to love about receiving cupcakes on Mother’s Day.
Every mother deserves a cupcake!
I received six different flavors all so delicious and to die for.
Each one filled with goodness and sweetness to make me smile.
Everything that goes into being a mom I find joy in eating a cupcake!

Life is Feeling
All experience comes from feeling. There is not an experience you have that does not come from feeling. You cannot exist without feeling. Your biology is created to experience feeling. It is an antenna for feeling. You cannot not feel; it is impossible and when you deny...

When we let our minds sleep, often we become oblivious to the things going on around us. Through times of grief, depression, sickness, and even the influential drama in our own little worlds, we find a way to shut down our minds to things we would rather not be a part of,...
