How many of you know the song by Golden Earring, about living in the twilight zone? But even more than the words of a song, are the many concepts of what the meaning of a Twilight Zone could be. And that’s just my point. Life to me is a twilight zone. What we think ofContinue reading “Twilight Zone”

Island of One
As many of you know, I have a fascination with island living, a draw, a hope, a dream. I don’t know where it came from or why but it’s there, nonetheless. I’ve never been afraid of the water and can remember from my childhood specific instances that impacted my life. I was young, maybe 4Continue reading “Island of One”
Under Pressure
From the time we are born we are under pressure. Pressure from gravity, pressure in our blood and our heart, and as we grow pressure from the outside world. Very few escape it. It doesn’t matter what environment we grow up in, what geographical region, what race, what religion what anything. We are bombarded withContinue reading “Under Pressure”
I Can’t Move
If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been writing like I was. I was putting out a blog a week and then I just dropped off the planet, so it feels like. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I write about all sorts of things, all sorts of awareness but being down in thisContinue reading “I Can’t Move”
Every Which Way
I have to confess, I’m a big thinker but much of my time gets consumed by other things and I don’ t take the time for myself, to do those things I enjoy doing. Sometimes it feels burdensome and sometimes it’s just because I’m lazy and don’t have the wherewithal to step up and doContinue reading “Every Which Way”
I Woke Up Old
I’m getting pretty close to my 58th birthday. If you’re older, you would say, “oh you’re still young, wait till my age.” If you are young, you would say, “wow you’re old but you still look good for your age.” And as those statements do have some small impact on one’s own psyche, it’s myContinue reading “I Woke Up Old”
Learning to Breathe
From the moment we’re born we are learning to breathe. One big gulp of air into those new lungs and then it begins. We are air breathers until that last breath. But just as we need air to breathe in our lungs, we also need air to breathe in our souls. Too many of usContinue reading “Learning to Breathe”
Blahdidity Blah Blah Blog
It’s been quite some time since I’ve had the motivation to sit down and actually blog again. I can’t quite put my finger on the delay but some of it has to do with motivation. I had faithfully blogged almost weekly for over a year, maybe even two and this lapse has been around twoContinue reading “Blahdidity Blah Blah Blog”
Once I was a Child
As time goes by and age creeps up ever so quickly, I often reflect on years gone by. We don’t think much of the future when we’re children but now as an aging adult I sure do think often of my youth. As children we live in the moment, care free, simple, constant learning. WeContinue reading “Once I was a Child”
Life is like a Yo-Yo
Most of us know what a yo-yo is. It has changed over the years but so have we as a people. Life has changed dramatically just in my lifetime. I remember our first microwave. I remember TV being only certain channels and turning off at night with the star bangled banner and then static. IContinue reading “Life is like a Yo-Yo”
