Just, really

Lately, I’ve been thinking of my passing… it is inevitable. I am not egging it on—just contemplating the potentials and ramifications. I really am grateful for the life I have lived. Part of my memories go back to the fast times at Hayward High School, especially senior year. Seemed everyone was hanging out with everybody….

bounty full

I am grateful for my full belly tonight. I am satiated. AND—our community is still starving for leadership, justice, humanity. I don’t know that we will see PEACE in our lifetime… yet I know peace within me. I dance. I am grateful for the teachers in my life. I am satiated.

Wedding Bells

This past Saturday I watched my eldest child marry a wonderful, lovely lady. Watching the two of them interact with each other is to watch two people who truly love each other. It was a wonderful, beautiful wedding at one of the most beautiful wedding venues that I have ever been at. Again, hanging out…

Der Weld

Just in case you live in a dark cave, in the middle of nowhere or under a rock of some sort, right now, all over the world, everyone is watching the FIFA World Cup Futbol Tournament. It has been a great tournament with many surprises. Small nations taking on the power houses. The greatest players…

Toil and Toll

I am grateful for the learning The yearning The dance we all create with our living breath This glorious death We all live And give to the aether Our cries and prayers Our final breath Twirling and whirling Machines at play Turning skies to grey Birth and crawl Tearing down our wall That kept them…

All Mixed Up

I am grateful for the AI Agent project I am working on. I am really appreciating this new realm of tech which has made programming available to me. I believe my years of experience with the three areas of online tech—front end, middleware, backend—is helping me interact with prompts and the various platforms. I do…

The Fear of Love

More from the chronicles of Don Miguel Ruiz and his Four Agreements. Be impecable with your word. Replace Fear with Love. I love that saying. So many times in my life I procrastinate on doing something, making a phone call, facing a confrontation, etc. It is usually because I fear the process or the outcome….

Be Impeccable with your word

A couple of weeks ago my partner handed me a box of cards with notes written on each card. The box was from Don Miguel Ruiz and each card corolates with his Four Agreements. Reading his book, The Four Agreements, is what set me on my path to wanting to change the way I look…

Healing

I am grateful for the wonderful experiences I had this weekend. Saturday was with Charlie Goldsmith. Sunday was with Jon Paul Crimi. Both were wonderfully healing; bright breaths of air. I am also grateful for the work of our community to participate in racial healing… history continues to show it to be nessecary. Lastly, I…

Motion

This past Sunday I watched the Indy 500, almost in it’s entirety; about lap 100 I ran to the store to purchase some groceries and made it back in time to see the last 48 laps of the race. What a race! I have not watched the Indy race for a very long time; Sunday…

Grateful 4 the Day

I am grateful I woke up today. Many didn’t; one day I won’t. Today I had the opportunity to finesse, do better, be closer to my perfect self. I truly do love and appreciate the madness, the cacophony of life… the wild storm we’re all riding out. If we keep working our way to the…

Graduation! LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

I am so grateful for smooth graduation day today. Everything that fell under my control, ran smooth. I am grateful for that. I am grateful that I am able to sleep in tomorrow morning, until my bladder states otherwise. I am so grateful that I do not need to direct traffic in front of the…
