A Day at Home — in Dry Dock?

Good Morning, God! A day at Home! I would like to go to the 7:00 a.m. church service . . . but My Whole Being cries Stay HOME. Perhaps, this is because I am not back to full strength? Or

Countless Opportunities, Waiting to be Seen

Good Morning, God! I took Kit in early yesterday morning for his out-patient surgery. It required general anesthesia — which opens the door to untoward possibilities. It certainly opened me up to fears — just barely held at bay. But

Off we go — AGAIN! Living within Limits?

Good Morning, God! The airport, AGAIN? Yes, YES!  I KNOW how fortunate I am to get to travel. And I will enjoy this trip to Kit’s Princeton Reunion. It is just that I am having a bit too much of

Balancing amidst the Overwhelming Jumble of Options

Good Morning, God! I love this photo — as I loved the movie — for the JOY that Philippe took in his balancing feats. As I pondered my long — 40 day — trip, God, I thought of just how

Down into the City and into the Disney Hall

Good Morning, God! Ah, we are down out of the mountains and into the CITY! LA is a megalopolis of a city — although it has always seemed to me more a collection of neighborhoods or suburbs — not a
