Misty memories
It’s like a dream, a fog, a mist; a production of which I observed. The memories are sad, some filled with hope, others bitter and yet blurred. So much occurred at once, the loss of dreams, family, and pets The shattered hopes, the yet to come, unvoiced emotions leaving regrets. Time has a way of …

Live each moment, savor each memory, be present in your life, Time is short, opportunities abundant, no need for worries or strife. Call a friend, walk a dog, give …

Creating peace in ourselves
I’ve been reading and listening to various sources of secular and non-secular topics on practicing peace, changing habits, having joy, experiencing mindfulness, and ridding oneself of negativity. It has been interesting to listen to the various ways people find their center and manage to change habits and get healthy. There are some odd thought patterns …

Love never fails
Rose swept her eyes over the grand room and foyer before closing the door to her home forever. Had it really been 45 years since she and Ray bought this house? She smiled as she thought of the joy, fear, and anticipation of this four-bedroom home as they signed the loan agreement. Their son Caleb …

Divine appointment
Maggie was still digesting what had just happened. She was still shrouded in the darkness of the eclipse, but she was sweating. Did she really just see and hear what she thought? Had she really felt the electricity through her veins, the unearthly power? Her head was spinning, but she felt the weight of the …

It’s a very, very mad world.
From the song "Mad World" by Tears for Fears. In the 1982 Tears for Fears song “Mad World”, we find a very catchy, dark melody that sings and screams of loneliness and despair. The singer states, in a melancholy sound “And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams …

Wrong way on a one-way track.
My thoughts on the Soul Asylum song 'Runaway train' “Wrong way on a one-way track, seems like I should be getting’ somewhere, somehow, I’m neither here nor there.” Have you ever felt that way? The official video of this song is moving. It evokes emotions by showing pictures of missing children. The song is touted …

A mountain of dreams.
Standin’ on a hill in the mountain of dreams, tellin’ myself it’s not as hard, hard, hard as it seems. Wow! The entire song “Going to California” by Led Zeppelin has got to be one of my favorites; but then I say that about a lot of Led Zeppelin songs. The paragraph preceding this lyric …
