    January 19     What Is A Sheep To Do?       Things are bad out there.  I see the trouble as I circle within the flock.  Many of us whisper to each other as we pass.  How can I create lasting change?  Is there something helpful that will not...

  December 12   BLEATING FORMALITY     Stupidity stalks me when I am tired, hijacking my mouth.  I can put this off to pilot error or interruption of service on my neurologic pipeline, but truly I have been captured by senseless, irrational muttonness.  I would love to...

  January 20   BECAUSE       Because I am my father’s child, I make my attendance at meetings frequent and regular.  Having looked deeply in the genetic mirror, I see so many bitter days.  I’ve run from the implications and sheltered in the steps.  The...

  November 29     John Grisham     My time hovering low over the ocean has filled me until I am ready to drop.  The weight of what is inside me bears down; I know with the slightest cooperation I will become a rainmaker.  I am mostly fine with this; I know from...

In reviewing Say Please to the Honeybees (ISBN-10: 0981063438 ISBN-13: 978-0981063430, 32 pages) I find myself delighted to once again visit the antics of Violet, the affable “trouble magnet” in Farmer Shepherd’s flock. Trouble magnet, you say? Violet . . . that dear little sheep? By no fault of...

Over the years I’ve read a lot of children’s books to our grandchildren, now ages 6 to 13, but it isn‘t often I get the opportunity to review such a book. I’d say The Great Bellybutton Cover-up by Susan Ross (ISBN-10: 9780981063409, ISBN-13: 978-0981063409, 32 pages) could easily become a favorite...

September 11       Louet     Consolidating fuzz into yarn makes me a friend to sheep everywhere.   Spinning the filaments of truth into cables of life does not impress the mutton in anyway, but sure does my mental health a world of good.  Free floating fiber is bad for my...

I meet Dale at the trailhead to Flat Pass.  The rains have churned the trail to pieces.  Our dogs run ahead of us, open-mouthed, instant friends.  They plunge down the hill toward the creek.  Dale walks with a dryer sheet tucked like a television make-up tissue into her collar, to keep the...
