The Joy of Small Things

We weret is sobering, God, to think that here in my own small self I have to depend on a Balance of Power to get along. It makes me sad that I can’t seem to manage a higher degree of inner mutual respect. But, it does help me understand how it is that we 7 billion humans have a dreadfully difficult time practicing mutual respect! Sigh.

The 360˚ Life — Or Tweaking It

Hmm. Now that I stop and ponder what I just said, God, I realize that the real idea here is not so much the idea of seeing my life as tweakable — but rather 1) knowing what I really want and then 2) feeling comfortable about arranging things so as to get what I want.

Seeing Clearly — Seeing Beyond Symptoms

Good Morning, God! Coming home last night I had my eyes on the just-past-full moon, as well as the traffic. This photo was set up during a red light — snapped as the light turned green. The camera didn’t record
