It’s midnight, Sunday.
I’m sitting in my Jeep at a rest stop.
Some things can’t wait.
Ever since last night a line
has been repeating itself
over and over in my head.
“There are bigger things at work here…”
It’s a line (or close to it) from
one of the Spider Man movies.… —-> Continue…
I just saw a T-Shirt that said;
“SEEK DISCOMFORT”.
In our lifetime, and generations prior, we have
been sold a bill of goods that tells us we ought to
seek comfort, pursue pleasures, and embrace familiarity.
We’ve been conditioned to think that the “Good things in Life”
are to be found within the familiar (Go with what you know!),

I tried explaining to my son the other night

I get a lump in my throat whenever I hear this song
- even more when I’m driving at night alone.… —-> Continue…
My son and I were listening to a live
rendition of a song called “Need You Now”.
I told him that I like to hear the sound
of the fingers as they move across the
strings looking for the next chord.… —-> Continue…
So here we are:
Now I know
a lot of people around
the new year have spent
time making resolutions
to finding solutions to
those things that weren’t
quite so right last year.
A new year -
what better time
for a fresh start, right?… —-> Continue…
