Journey Home
Every now and then, I return to previous thoughts. This one is one of them, but perhaps from a different perspective point. There is a line in one of my favorite movies that I often consider relatable on many levels to my own way of thinking and place in this world. Jo says “I love…

In the clouds
When we are above the cloudsThe sun shines and the sea of white Rolls to eternity The soft pillows of fluff lay the groundFor the angels to roam and play It is a small piece of heaven that We can touch In a plane In our dreams Inevitably we must descend The puffs stretch into wisps Then turbulence hitsAs our view…

Today’s Joy – well, in January 2021…
**This is the original part of the post that somehow didn’t get published…** Since the finalization of the election results (before the January 6th formalities), I have had this countdown on my home tab of my browser.

Fall Reshuffle
Ever since I was young I have had a thing for rearranging the furniture in my personal space. I did it frequently in my offices at work. I do it regularly in my bedrooms and most rooms that allow for the reconfiguration of movable objects. I attribute it to the fact that it makes me…

Compromises
Life is a constant up and down like a seesaw. When I first saw the Korean version of this weird balancing device, I was confused as to why they would consider it play to ask kids/players to stand on the balancing board rather than sit as is the US way of play. I mean, talk…
