Okay, let’s take a moment and use all our powers of imagination. Let’s pretend for the next 10 minutes. Let’s crank up our happiness quotient as if we are children making things up just to try things on and see how they feel… just for the fun of it. Are you there with me? Is […]

Love Beyond Measure
“For I have learned that every heart will get What it prays for Most ” – hafiz How much Love can you take? Let’s talk volume here. Is it enough? Is it too much? Can you take just a little more? And just a little more again? Why is there a set amount that is allowed? […]
So Many Passions
What does Passion mean to you? For the first half of my life I thought Passion was that feeling derived from sex and love. BTW this is also the time I thought sex & love were the same thing.

Like Walking on the Moon!
Love is a many splendid thing, but it is NOT something concrete – nor is Will, Reason or Imagination. Yet we’ve all experienced these insubstantial (yet very foundational) things.

A Walk in the Park
“I am great sun but you do not see me. I am your husband but you turn away. I am the captive but you do not free me. I am the captain but you do not obey. I am the truth but you do not believe me. I am that city where you will not […]
A Messy Life
My life has made (and is making) a transition as we speak from orderly to NOT. And I am becoming accustomed to it somehow. Through grief I have warmed to uncertainty. Is this why folks want religion – to acquaint themselves with the roiling of life? And to make friends with it? I recall letting […]
Fabricating a Life
When I was sick, before Michael died, he would make me a cup of tea if I asked him to. Not anymore. And when I was sick and he came to bed, if he saw I had scarfed one of his pillows he would say plainly, “Come on – give it up.” And he would […]
