I’ve had some interesting down time. I’ll probably block most of it from my memory as time marches on. Did I really break my ankle? What black boot? Pain? Oh it wasn’t so bad… Oh man. Going on my eighth week of recovery, something has shifted, and not just with my ankle. Meanwhile, as thisContinue reading “Summer Ended”

My East Coast adventure felt very much like I was a fish out of water. No matter what I did, no matter how many questions I asked, I didn’t get it. So many little things perplexed me. I was as out of place as I was in seventh grade when our family moved from CaliforniaContinue reading “Last Year…”

(Heres a one I never posted from when I first broke my ankle) Time has slowed down for me. Details are more obvious when I’m not rushing. Lately rushing is a distant dream. Its been such a weird gift. I like being busy. I like moving fast. Whenever I first arrive in CT, I haveContinue reading “Details”

When I broke my ankle several things changed. That was four weeks ago. It was a fairly minimal break, also a sprain on the opposite side of the same ankle. Small problem, but I was suddenly unable to walk, drive, carry anything, do yoga, cook or even pour myself coffee. Standing balancing. Stairs. I foundContinue reading “Break”

I had to slowly learn over time, that art is not a good photographic copy of a picture. I know now, when everyone says ‘wow that is so good’, they usually mean ‘wow, that is a good copy of a picture!’ It’s a great exercise, but true art is more.

That is to say they knew words, but they never used them. Koko the famous gorilla was unusual in her ability to use words. SheContinue reading “Powerful Words”

The furthest I ever traveled from home was Kenya. The physical distance in so many miles and time zones, makes it an obvious answer for today’s prompt question. I know we all live in a very physical world here on planet earth. I’ve been to Kenya twice. Each time I felt an overwhelming connection toContinue reading “Far Away Places”

Thanks for asking Funny prompt for today. Things have been mildly interesting around here these past few days. Monday I did paddle board yoga for the first time. First time ever on a paddle board. I loved it! Tuesday I got talked into going to an event I don’t know how to describe. There wasContinue reading “How Am I Feeling?”

This is a good question for a rainy Wednesday afternoon. I’ve been back from my trip west for a week. Initially, there was a readjusting few days. I went to yoga as often as I could. Three days in, I made a strong choice to not just endure, but to embrace this whole situation. IContinue reading “What Motivates Me?”
