I was driving home from a class this evening and as I came around the bend in the road near my home I slowed when I saw this bird off to the side and all the thoughts starting coming into my head; is it injured, can I get it to my favorite local emergency wildlifeContinue reading “#15 – Love the Earth”

#15 – Love The Unknown
Sometime in the last year or two I started getting what felt like pretty comfortable with the unknown. Most of us have considered the question that if we could know our future would we want to and I’ve vacillated between yes and no until more recently. While I can’t really know what’s ahead, I haveContinue reading “#15 – Love The Unknown”
#15 – Love Your Community
The other night I was out with a dear friend for the 100th anniversary of the Martha Graham Dance Company performance, where I crossed paths with a few other folks I’ve known, as one does after living in the same city for over thirty years, including my old friend Richard Parsakian, proprietor of the infamousContinue reading “#15 – Love Your Community”
#14 – Love Everything
I celebrate three new years: the Gregorian, the lunar, and my birth one. This book started being written years ago (on this platform) so it spans some time, and of course, many new years. With all these new years to observe I can sometimes get turned around with where I am in the course ofContinue reading “#14 – Love Everything”
#14 – Love Your Community
A friend recently shared with a group that I’m a part of that today is “Blue Monday”, something I’d never heard of (and rightfully so, as it got its start in the UK, where my friend is from and I am not!) but have been thinking about since yesterday when I learned of it. WhenContinue reading “#14 – Love Your Community”
#14 – Love the Unknown
This morning I was reviewing my photo library and came across an image for the rules for being human (according to some ancient Sanskrit and that also seem to vary from nine to twelve rules, not surprised there’s a variation on this🥴) and I’m sharing them here, all twelve rather than nine because who doesn’tContinue reading “#14 – Love the Unknown”
#14 – Love Your Self
If only we could do everything…where would we be? What would we be? I look around most days and wonder if where we are as a result of everything we’ve done is merely a result of everything we have become. I think you can appreciate the sentiment behind this statement AND the sheer frustrating realityContinue reading “#14 – Love Your Self”
#14 – Love What’s Fun
The queries I’ve tasked various AI tools available to me over these last few years have mainly been so that I can have another “perspective” to consider when attempting academic/philosophical work as well as creative endeavors; both of which have yielded predictably mixed results, as you too have likely experienced if you’ve been curious toContinue reading “#14 – Love What’s Fun”
#14 – Love The Earth
Over the years I’ve completed a few educational pursuits in Earthly related topics like organic agriculture and “master” naturalist/gardener, partly because of my curiosity and love for all the beautiful and mysterious aspects of our world and partly because of the duty I feel to lessen my footprint during my time here. I LOVE thisContinue reading “#14 – Love The Earth”
#14 – Love Your Work
Last year on September 9th, I approached my local labyrinth and as is often the case I stood at its entrance and considered if there were things that I wanted to bring to the walking meditation before me and found all the swirling thoughts to simply be too much to sort through, so I justContinue reading “#14 – Love Your Work”
