Trying To Make Some Sense of it All
“They will attack you, they will slander you, they will seek to destroy your career and your family, they will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation. They will lie, lie...
A Ram's Horn and an Uncertain World
On Monday the fall session of my yoga class started. We run it through the adult programs package, which gives its availability a high profile in the large church community of which I am a part....
Private Pleasure Grounds
You can tell here by the angle of the shot that my neighborhood is built on a slope. When I went on the Archives Crawl on Saturday I came home with a one-page print out of an insurance map from ...
A Kind of Reckoning
Mr. Finch was raised as the youngest golden boy of 9 living children in a rich conservative household. He was brilliant and oh so handsome and charming as many of you know as you traveled along ...
Raw Eggs in Your Armpits? Okay Fine
About four years ago I saw that I was developing a bunion on my right foot. I didn’t really understand what they were at that point. I knew Kes was concerned that her feet didn’t seem to her to ...
Never Getting to Perfect
Every Sunday morning I send out a reminder email to my students about what we are going to explore in class during the coming week and any housekeeping “stuff” they may need to know about. I’ll ...
A Painterly Picture and Algorithims
Late yesterday I had my skin check. It has been three years since they removed the malignant melanoma and I am all clear. Clear enough that I don’t have to get naked and checked so often. My nex...
The Archives Crawl
This will be the first time since I started teaching yoga that I am taking a short break. I have taken a few classes off because of the weather or surgery during the 3 ½ years but never a whole ...
King Material Desire
It’s a pumpkin! Very cool to see them growing in my neighborhood. I just took this on my midday walk. As I was walking I was listening to a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita called “The Essence o...
Really? There is No Problem?
Yes I know it is a little blurry. There wasn’t much light and it was starting to drizzle on Friday when I took this at the upper part of the park above the track. Kes and Most Honorable are at t...
Coping With the Unexpected
This was my beloved former gym and track across the big street on the 25th of September last year. This is it today. I tried to get the same shot but there is a fence all around the areas being...
Change - The New Fronteir
This is a current view from the edge of the vacant lot next door to one of the houses down at the end of the dead end block that my place fronts on. It is pretty green considering that we are mo...
All About Garbage Cans
This is the young Crape Myrtle in the neighborhood yesterday afternoon. I like this picture, the whole of it and I haven’t been taking many pictures lately that I am fond of. I feel sort of fun...
The Princess is In
This is the busy street by the grocery store I go to most often. The camera does not do justice to the reds, not even close; they are so much deeper and richer to the eye. I took this yesterday ...
A Living Wall and Bone Health
This is the local community garden, an unused plot a couple of days ago. I love the light here. There is definitely a fall felling in the air. During the day the classrooms I teach in are used ...
Fall Light, The Magic of Books and Brotherhood
The light has been spectacular here the last few days. I believe this is a pumpkin flower but it might be another kind of squash. I took this with my phone on my lunchtime walk yesterday. I spe...
Noko Gets a Cracker!
The beloved great niece Miss E. turns 16 on Friday. Her mother, my niece, turns 50 in six months. They are planning a trip to New York to see a Broadway show around that time and are rolling the...
About How Things Change
This is the sculpture in the nearby park that is often monopolized by the private school kids from across the street. There used to be a mansion here a long time ago that became our county hospi...
Migraines, Music and Birds on the Page
I remember my first migraine quite well. I was 17. I had no idea it was possible to experience such a complex sense experience that was so uncomfortable and affected so much more than my head. M...
Bark Dust and Big Man Boots
There is Carlo on the left and Diego on the right in an unguarded moment yesterday. They don’t normally sleep together during the day so this was unusual. Still it was good for my heart to see t...
Of Lower Backs and Beet Greens
The glare is back but at least it is cooler out. I had this strong feeling that I should prep to teach material about soothing, nourishing, stabilizing, stretching and strengthening the structur...
The Better Part
Title: I am both happy and sad to see the crape myrtles start to bloom. They are so beautiful at a time when the lilies and daisy families are fading and the wild sweat peas are getting dusty a...
Shrinkage, Belief and a Selfie Stick
This shot of a tree growing out of an old mill building in the woods on Saturday appealed to me because of the light. As we move away from the solstice and towards the equinox (fall here) the li...
You Can't Beat That
So this was our destination yesterday. The Trail Club of Oregon’s second lodge on the flank of our biggest mountain, Mt. Hood. Plans for transportation and attendance at the hike and dine were ...
Having Books (and Cards)
Title: This is one of the many community gardens in my world. We are in the midst of high summer and it is hot hot hot out. Today was another power company Flex Day and I spent most of the thr...
Book Description
What flits through at a particular time.
