“Underwater Dive”
I haven’t been writing my blog, lately. Occasionally, I visit in my mind. I’ve been writing my column, though, and keeping up well with that, every other week. Every other week, I interview an artist in my local community and write about my perspective regarding that experience. I have attended a Reading Railroad, visited with … Continue reading
Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty
True story: I was at Wal-Mart, this morning. The best time to go, really – if you are ever to approach the giant superstore. I have tried being against Wal-Mart and am somewhat divided on the issue. It is near my new apartment and I know they have the unbleached coffee filters I forgot, this … Continue reading
FiNd WhAt YoU lOvE
There is nothing better, not right now, not for me, than positive thinking. I am fascinated with it. Different than arranging my thoughts to recreate a better present. Just focusing differently on what life has to offer. Not rehashing the same old stuff. Bringing to mind the pleasant, the powerful, the lovely. That’s what I am … Continue reading
There is Nothing Heavier than Compassion
Why? Why in the world are people so condemning toward each other? Do animals do this? Surely the animal world is kinder than that. Their aggression toward each other is from a natural state of survival. What is condemnation and where is it coming from? Do all people experience it? I’m in my third floor apartment … Continue reading
Corner of Fair and Hoo Hoo
I found myself at the corner of Fair and Hoo Hoo, last week. I had been to the north side, before, the north side in Lufkin, Texas. It has a reputation that precedes it. I knew when I moved back to Texas, more than two years ago, that houses in this town could still be … Continue reading
My Other Brother
My other brother, the other brother of c.s.ellington. He’s fabulous. I have the best brothers, 5 in all. Today, I am writing about my other brother. The one in the mosaic image pictured here. I will tell you I met him at midlife. I met him on Facebook, after learning of him a dozen years … Continue reading
Stand Strong and Claim Reality
Choice, consciousness, finding light in the natural. Asking, what is the most natural thing. Handwriting is natural, writing with a keyboard is not. I have become accustomed to it. Until the last few years, I have written with pen and paper. Ask yourself what the most natural thing is .. allow it to be part … Continue reading
I Want Real Love and Nothing of Its Imitation
I read a quote online, today, and this was it: To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be … Continue reading
Dare to Love Wastefully
I saw an acquaintance of mine, yesterday. I was at the phone store, was having trouble receiving emails to my phone and that is such a convenience. I was there to have the problem identified and corrected as quickly as possible. I arrived and talked with my acquaintance, the man who helped me when I purchased my phone … Continue reading
Explore with You
I dated someone named Garrett who grasped the concept, early in life, there will always be someone better looking. That was surprisingly mature to me, early in life. And it is so true. We have an inner wisdom that is accessible to us. We have a light within us, if we choose to follow. What … Continue reading
