I think therefore I write. I write therefore I am.
“Summer s lingering light is slipping away. I read that line a couple of weeks ago in an article about sunset over New York and how last Wednesday would be the final day the city would see the sun set after 7 pm. The article explained how, beginning Thursday, September 18, sunset would arrive progressively earlier Continue reading AWAKENING TO THE GOLDEN HOUR
So, I m moving about this morning tidying up, wiping down the kitchen counter, sweeping dust and stuff from the floor and out of nowhere here comes this thought: He stopped a town hall meeting and swayed side-to-side to his favorite songs for THIRTY-NINE-FRIGGIN-MINUTES … and y all STILL VOTED FOR HIM!

A night, a morning and much of a day have passed since voters overwhelmingly returned that man to office, and I’m still left without words. That’s not the same as saying I have no words.

While so many of us have come to associate Covid with 2020 when we felt the sting most, the coronavirus responsible for the disease actually appeared first Continue reading A LOOK TO THE FUTURE, A LESSON FROM THE PAST
With the defeat of Herschel Walker (back to) Texas (play) Ranger, our inclination is to raucously celebrate in all sorts of high-pitched, gleeful ways. And rightly we should: Arguably, the least qualified candidate in modern political history (excepting possibly his sponsor, DJT) to ever run for a national office came within a few sniffles and Continue reading REGARDING GEORGIA S RUNOFF

My Bible tells me the privilege to forgive and the right to be forgiven are among the most basic entitlements with which we enter and exit the world. So, Will Smith deserves as much forgiveness as the next guy. Will Smith Continue reading One Last Word About Will Smith
