The title of this column is actually a quote by Loren Eiseley. In fact, I used to own a T-shirt with this quote on it. It’s always been an amazing medium to me, that’s for sure. For there is nothing that can create magic quite as easily as water. I always feel better in or... Continue Reading →
Buddhist philosophy states that we cause our own suffering, and it’s true. We have all sorts of assumptions, expectations and beliefs in place of how things are supposed to be, and when reality doesn’t live up to that, we decide that we are unhappy. That’s the basics of being happy, folks. It’s really that simple.... Continue Reading →
The other day, something interesting happened. I had a moment while sitting in an upstairs room at the back of my home. I had been running errands all day, and it felt a little like swinging from vine to vine, with no breaks in between. I had visited with a friend or two, and had... Continue Reading →
Well it's been almost a year, and I think everyone's pretty much just done with it. I mean, it's to the point where you can actually feel it.

Author's Note: I had to let my dear sweet dog go last week, and adjusting to life without her has been painful and difficult. Here's a story I wrote about her a few years ago. Whether or not you have a dog in your life that you love dearly, I hope you enjoy it. -... Continue Reading →
Oh, this weather, this dreadful weather. I love the seasons, I really do, but this in-between stuff just makes me want to lay on the couch and nap. The dark, the snow, the cold – it’s a recipe for hibernation that’s hard to ignore. I have a lot of projects I want to get to... Continue Reading →
Have you been keeping score lately? Chances are you probably have. You've probably been keeping score for a really long time, and it's not for a game that's played with a ball.
