There are so many things running through my head at the moment, little snippets of this and that, bits of images, pixels of memories. It’s like seeing a movie fast-forwarded, two hours compressed into just a few seconds. I’m not sure why that happens, or what it means. Maybe it doesn’t mean anything, it’s justContinue reading “Fear of flying”

The Former Guy (TFG) made a call to the GA Secretary of State in the days following the release of unofficial election returns in November 2020. Those reports showed TFG lost the election to extend his reign of terror by a decisive margin. He was recorded telling the Secretary that he just needed to findContinue reading “Can you spare a vote?”

Like a fool, I was watching CNN earlier this morning, and heard a series of unsettling stories. First, the condo building collapse in FL. Because it’s a condominium complex, the condo association is the responsible party. As we know, an inspection was performed in 2018, citing serious damage to parts of the building, and notingContinue reading “Power and control”

Yesterday was the end of my UU conference, and it ended with a big bang – the closing ceremony was absolutely phenomenal. There was energy, and singing, and rapping (yes, rapping) and more singing. The music was awesome. The musicians enjoyed doing what they were doing, and they were good at it, so I enjoyedContinue reading “From great joy to despair”

I need to be creating something, starting something that unlocks the cage. Creative energy is in short supply these days, and so we keep getting the same old same old. I’m done with the same old same old. It was hot today, and I don’t do well in extreme heat. It was hot in Alaska,Continue reading “Ready, set, go”

My first thoughts are that when I say yes, I’m wanting to say I’m all in. I’m willing to follow a credible leader, and not insist on being in the spotlight. I’m willing to share myself and what contributions I can make. I’m willing to stay at the table, and I’m willing to stay inContinue reading “Once more, with feeling”

I’ve been watching the volcano in Iceland, for more than three months now. An incredible show of Mother Nature’s power and glory, faithfully releasing a flow of hot red molten lava every few minutes. It gushes haplessly down the slopes and into the valley below, then hurtles off at an incredible pace toward…I have noContinue reading “Watch and wait”

Don’t mind me. I’m just over here, trying to heal and taking care of my own business, so don’t pay any attention to me. Seriously. Unless you want to pay the rent, or the power bill, or the water bill, or the internet bill, or the vet bill, or buy groceries just hush. I amContinue reading “Muttering, gesturing obscurely”

This is a weird thing I wrote, from out of nowhere. Talking To Myself I can’t pretend that I am not here, but I want to.  There’s evidence to prove that I’m here, and sometimes that’s all I have to convince myself – the dog gets fed, the bills get paid, food disappears and isContinue reading “Talking to myself…”

A group of Catholic bishops are considering the denial of Communion to President Biden. They are displeased with Biden’s “support” for abortion. I don’t actuallly think Biden ever said he supported abortion, but supported the right of a pregnant woman to choose what happens to her body. That’s a bit different from a stance ofContinue reading “Faith”
