  • Ten Reasons Why Ducks are in My Will

    We officially kick off the new green and greenery of the season when our seasonal pet mallards, Maude and Claude drop in like a couple of duck bombs out of nowhere. They are like long lost relatives that remind us that, regardless of the duck bills and paddle feet, we are just who we are, part of a long line of stories building to a legacy.

  • My Covenant with a Crocus

    You are seeking something aren't you? What is it? A person you miss, a goal left unmet? Around there are signs all around you in the woods that may point to answers, to friends at a picnic, to goodnight kisses and flowers that are ready to bloom in the Spring...

  • In The Midst of Our Drift

    Winter sits heavy like a spoon mired in oatmeal, unmoving,bland and monotonous. For those of us in the middle, in the midst of our drift, we approach the drudgery of winter as if we may have to eat oatmeal for months. Eventually, we begin to reflect, renew our senses, and pay homage to the season.We can embrace a vision here and there, take on a forgotten dream, and let the songbirds at the feeder carry us forward.

  • Stark Waving Mad and So Am I

    Be careful where you wave your hand. In an attempt to

    create an antiseptic experience, we have abdicated the public restroom and replaced it with a giant motion detector that controls us like a Jetson cartoon. Perhaps we should wash our hands of all modern appliances, leave them for the younger generation and use the Port-o-Potty down the street.

  • Coming Down On the Side of...So What?

    We are coming down on the side of so what, a side where apathy and awareness are mixed in a blender and drunk like a protein shake. It’s a side we all may all be seeking – we just don’t know it yet...

  • Turning Fires Into Faces

    Fires. Loss. Desperation. The onion we call life has

    peeled back another pungent layer that makes our eyes water. The faces we see in California are in pain, and our land is ablaze. It is our country we watch, and perhaps we recognize in each face something we recognize in our own.

  • Where Men and Mountain Meet


    During this last ice storm, I lost some of my desire to plummet down a ski slope at breakneck speed, and zoom into a rustic log cabin wrapped in a bright cellophane outfit. That is because I recently had a front row seat to a real-life, amazing assault on Mt. Everest, right here at home.

  • Luck and Destiny: Two Ships that Pass in the Night

    When we map out the new year of 2025, it helps to make

    some concrete decisions about what we believe in. Will we allow life to impose its will on us or will we be the captain of our ship this year? At the end of the day, will we look back and see that we let our destiny slip away as we waited for a lucky strike? With a brand-new beginning in front of us, its a golden opportunity to lean into something much, much better than beginner’s luck.

  • Taking a Knee at Midfield

    It was just a few days before Christmas and I was surrounded

    by thousands of other people at my first NFL football game. However the last second field goals and end zone dances all paled by comparison when an audible was called by a special Quarterback at the end of the game.
