I have family out east, who say they feel claustrophobic in the mountains - they like the wide skies of their flatland home. I'm sympathetic. But I like these mountains that hold up our sky. And the glimpses of sky and all its drama and glory. Thanks to Shayla Wallace for her ongoing Saturday posts. … Continue reading Shayla Wallace keeps an eye on the sky
I do not participate in organized religious practices and have no affiliation or experience with attending at place of worship. My nuclear family celebrates Christmas with time together and food, Hannukah with candle lighting, friends and food, Easter with friends and food and Passover with more food and friends. There’s a theme building here and … Continue reading Do unto others

Damn head-mechanics. I was looking for an expert to back a theory – to offer up neurological … Continue reading Own this space: secrets about life I learned from my mountain bike
This is the poet, Mary Oliver's, take, on what those three things are. In Blackwater Woods Look, the trees are turning their own bodies into pillars of light, are giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon and fulfillment, the long tapers of cattails are bursting and floating away over the blue shoulders of the ponds, … Continue reading To live in this world, you must be able to do three things
I was late for work last Thursday. Well, technically, I left my house on time, I wasn't caught in traffic, I arrived in the parking lot on time. But artist Roy Henry Vickers was speaking with Anna Maria Tremonti on CBC radio, and I just couldn't turn it off, so I sat there, outside the … Continue reading Wise man talking – Roy Henry Vickers on learning that you are a beautiful person and your life is art
