I will walk far enough

It's a late fall day, a cloudy Ohio day. My walk in the park for exercise turned into a wander. The mist began and a quiet settled in. My awareness of the birds was replaced by the company of squirrels. So many squirrels that I could hear the one up on haunches beside the trail …

Landmarks in life

  Today is my 63rd birthday. No shit?! As I get older, I don't feel older. My insides still feel like they did when I was 25. Alas, my outsides don't look exactly the same. 😉 But I'm still dazzled at realizing I'm as old as I am and still mostly functional. And what does …

I guess speed is relative?

If you could only see in my head.... 😉

Do we ever learn? YES!!

Running an art gallery showing 20+ artists has been an amazing learning experience. My artwork is here as is the work of others. I always try to show all the artists, tell all their stories and let the client decide what speaks to them. Today a group designing a new office lobby came in. They …

I’ve fallen in love… with kirtan.

Follow your dream… even when you’re not sure what the dream is? ;)

I'm in this fabulous stage of life. Seems so many dreams have come true that now I'm beginning to live in this feeling that fabulous things are coming even though I'm really not sure what those things are. So many people I meet seem to think they have to "figure something out" or even to …
