Think About This

Today I am thinking about seeing things.
Having read the title, you are expecting this post to be about how pleased I am with my new glasses and how my vision has improved.  Yes, I am extremely happy with them, but that’s not at all what this is about.  This is about having a vision.  (I [...]

Bobby seems like a funny name for him, the curandero.  Perhaps it’s too commonplace for a wise man who has studied with shamans in places like Peru and Columbia, but there it is, his name, Bobby Sanchez.  He’s a gifted healer, a teacher, a holder of wise and ancient knowledge rooted in the traditions of the [...]

Today I am thinking about my eyes.
I was in the fourth grade before anyone, even me, realized that I wasn’t seeing very well.  My first eye exam ever revealed that I suffered from just straightforward near-sightedness.  I clearly remember the day I received my first pair of glasses in the pretty blue frames that matched my blue [...]

Today I’m thinking about being married, specifically about being married to THWAM*. 
Our marriage got off to a very quick start, and it has lasted past forty years now.  We’ve had good times and hard times, and cycles of change.  We stood strongly together raising our children, and they’ve all survived the process and become adults [...]

Today I am thinking about the cool event I attended on Friday night at a venue here in town called The Spiritual Fitness Center.  It was a  small psychic fair,  really small if compared to the big ones that travel around the country and are highly advertised.  This was more local, featuring readers from around here, about ten [...]

Today I am thinking about a two-day psychic development workshop I attended this past weekend.  Admittedly, on the first day I was puzzled as to why I had been led to take this particular course; there didn’t seem to be any new stuff, or new insights about old stuff, presented.  Our group of eight participants had a [...]

Today I am thinking about the special delight that comes with having a granddaughter.  (Grandsons are delightful too, but differently so.)
I’ll call her Quinn, because that might be her name and because it suits her perfectly.  She’s a red-haired beauty (in the summer almost the color of orange sherbet–yum!), tall and strong, and eminently capable of so many [...]

Today I am thinking about the privilege of knowing and admiring your grown children. 
I’m talking about something that is similar to, yet profoundly different from, the all-encompassing protective natural love you have felt for them since the moment they were conceived and still feel.  No, this is pure admiration for the fine adult your child has [...]

Revisiting my writings of the past can be quite entertaining, at least for me, though maybe not for anyone else.  So from time to time I’ll be re-posting a post that I posted before.  You might want to stop right here if you were my reader back in another day on another site.  I’ll always warn [...]

Today I am thinking about being a writer of fiction, and how it requires what might be described as a certain benevolent brain dysfunction.
I have been a prolific writer of words all my life, but until I began my first book, I had no understanding at all of what it meant to create actual people in your head.  [...]
