A Gift of Love

Today — June 20, 2021 — is the fortieth anniversary of when our daughter Patty died.  That was June 20, 1981. Forty years? Really? How is that possible?  The gifts of love in all of this are countless. First, and I do

Just Talking to Someone

Give sorrow words

Good Morning, God! In You we live and move and have our being . . . I try to BE in that place when Death comes for those I love. I’m beginning to understand the Irish tradition of a wake. Actually, I’m

An Inner Sea

The Greening Healing Force

Those aren’t bad things. But, they are fatiguing things. This last year I have borrowed from my Body’s Bank — my Energy Reserves — in order to do what I felt needed to be done. Now it is time to repay my Body and perhaps my tired Soul. Yes, it is Time to Restore, God.
