I looked at my cousin, Cynthia, and could see the shock and disbelief in her eyes! The same look was probably reflected in mine. We both wanted to move yet it seemed as if we were glued to the spot. Should we move? Was it over? “What happened?” we seemed to be asking each other with our eyes. We both knew the answer, yet it was if our brains were unable to process it. Unbidden, a word my mother had used many times while I was growing up, came to mind. Her favorite uncle, her father’s brother, Uncle Stanley, had fought in World War I and had returned home, shell-shocked. As a child, I really... Continue Reading

I will normally write something inspiring and uplifting that brings a spirit of joy, peace, and happiness. But today, I must diverge and share my thoughts on the state of our world. At this point in my life, I have journeyed where my discernment of what is important and what is not seems to be more refined. Having had many of life’s trials and tribulations, coming through to the other side stronger, I know it is not easy for others to do the same.  With the growth of social media and our minds being malleable to the influence of others, the last few years have created a dangerous path. Within... Continue Reading

As I get older, time speeds up and the world seems to go through its cycles faster and with more precision. By this, I mean, there is predictability among the uncertainty of what tomorrow will bring. History repeats itself, only with more advanced knowledge and instruments, of both the mind and inventions. As humans, we are our greatest gift to each other, and yet we find ourselves our greatest enemy as well. Quite a dichotomy. The climb to the top is an arduous task. Whether it be in the desire to climb Mt. Rushmore or wanting to advance in our career. We must train, in mental agility and physical... Continue Reading

In acting, an understudy is someone who learns another’s role so they can act as a replacement on short notice. Should the regular actor or actress be unable to appear on stage because of illness, injury, emergencies or death, the understudy takes over the part. The theater manager usually announces the cast change prior to the start of the performance. Life is all a stage…. When I think about this definition and subsequent action for an understudy, I also think about life. What is the analogy? Life is the Master Teacher and to truly get a sense of what life is all about, are we not always... Continue Reading

As we evolve through the human transformation from one state of being to another, change is ever-present. Through many pivots of life as we know it, as penned in history, as in a constant flow towards the future, what we believe to be a permanent fixture, is impermanence. Where we go from here to there has infinite paths from which we can choose to follow. Blindly stumbling along with beliefs and perceptions etched into the surface of the face of the mirror image, invaluable nuggets, and the beckoning call for eyes to be wide open are kept hidden behind the Shakespearean masks. To dive deep,... Continue Reading

As we move through the transformation of living, there is a subtleness in the air. If you are still for long enough, you can feel it and sense the sweet aroma of the aftermath. It wafts through the very fabric of life itself….. In… The morning dew, We are permeated By the droplets of The past. For… Is it not the memories, And actions of what We put into movement That forms the creation Of what is yet to come? The… Echoes of the wounded, And the sighs of those Left behind, Bring tears of pain and sorrow Yet, there is hope in The rising sun. I… Know not what the Future holds, Nor do I... Continue Reading
