Is it True? Is it Kind? Is it Necessary?Mark Twain
The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.Thich Nhat Hanh
When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet, if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them,they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.Abraham Maslow
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be.Lao Tzu
To a mind that is still the whole universe surrenders.

Growing Up Tuff
I remember growing up in the 50s with a good deal of fondness. Yet when I think of specifics of those “happy days,” I picture our gang, and I picture the toughness that we seemed to develop in our neighborhood. … Continue reading

I’m Not Superman
The nubbins of a eureka came to me the other day. It was a friendly little nubbins – had a nice smile, an inviting smile but was as elusive as nubbins are want to be. So here’s the gist of … Continue reading

One Man’s Search for Meaning
Today I write with the official status of 2018 Nanowrimo Dropout. Yes, I know. There are five days left in the month, and I only have about 16,000 words to get to 50,000. I could make it – if I … Continue reading

Another Transition
I write again. Actually, that is misleading. I’ve been writing. Every day. I write again in this blog is an accurate statement. I found a couple of years ago that writing here helped me through the transition of moving to … Continue reading
