My Residence within

Hate Is Not Sustainable

Yesterday, for the unnumbered time, millions of people were apoplectically upset. Someone was not punished who had been, is, and will be a fully disgusting person, who may be responsible for deaths, and is surely responsible for hateful anger and violence. He will be prosecuted in many courts, and the Constitution that would not punish him in governmental sanction facilitated him being removed from power.

40 Days

Between Ash & Maundy I write in silence.

It happens to be Lent. I happen to be at Level 23. I most always do this every day anyway, but 90 minutes, every day, is a lot.

United

We can only be in one of two places: “With” or “Without.”

The expectation is that we are better “With”: love, warmth, food, family, thought. And while alive we are flooded with all our “With’s”.

But all of us end “Without”.

One Meal A Day

4.5 months ago I was just fine.

But then, at the Spring Solstice, a 61.5 year old blood tube decided it’s inadequate middle layer had performed as long as it could: it blew, the tube blew, part of my brain was flooded and I lost (only) balance.

Built Beautiful

Sometimes connections happen. I see a book, I use it in a talk (or six). The author and I meet. Then dozens of others connect. Then a movie. Maybe a movement, or least a stream of ideas we have ignored. This is good. Watch for it on PBS. “courtesy of Built Beautiful: An Architecture & Neuroscience Love Story with Narration by Martha Stewart.”

Walking Home In the Blizzard

It was snowing so hard that the 10 inches on the ground seemed like a warning. I had been in the office for 10 hours and had 1/2 hour of light left. So I walked.

It took 15 minutes, normally t10. But it took longer because I said hi to some old friends

Flaw Flourishes

My vision ended my application to be considered for the Navy ROTC program. My vision was 20-40, and the program, during the Vietnam War that was still raging, only wanted those who could be pilots, thus needed 20-20 vision for consideration. I asked for a waiver, and was denied.

Coda

7 weeks ago we did not have a clue. It was February. Those Chinese had a problem, again, but it was not our problem. And Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. I was buying Birthday Books for my wife, and launched on a mission.

WHAT IS GONE IS BACK AGAIN Bruce Barber and I went to high school together 45 years ago: Over the last decade, Bruce has included me in his creative machinations, both of us trying to find connection to the world at a time of change and opportunity: This is a third iteration of a very human effort: (click here to read more)
