Onboard an Alaska Air flight to Spokane for a meeting. A 6 hour flight on Mothers Day to contemplate matters of science, love, failures and dead mothers I wonder, on this day, what would my mom say? What would she have to offer? Words of encouragement, a laugh or a kick in the ass? Or [...]
> Vedanā: Love’s recursive function
In waking this morning I lingered in bed for a few moments as the birds made a racket outside and the puppy pounced along the floor in anticipation. I was taking in all of the Vedanā which simply overran me last night, placing me in a transcendent state that continues to this moment. That same Vedanā also [...]
> Notes from Berlin
It is a cool, early spring evening and I am sitting in a hotel room in Berlin, near where the wall once stood. I was here just after the wall came down. Now it is mixed used retail, condos, hotels and restaurants. The ooze of consumerism seems to inexorably spread, swallowing whole chunks of history [...]
> Blue fields, moonlight and assorted emotions
Came home this evening, still falling in deeper and deeper; happier and happier and so needing to write something. I struggle against the need to sleep… In a Blue Field You said it would stop raining As you lay by my side Watching the gathering clouds I could cry as easy I laugh This night [...]

> Precise moment
This question occurred to me last night while flying to London Does someone special come into your life when you are most ready for it – or when you are least expecting it? Here is my take on this matter. A special person arrives in your life when you are ready for it. It’s [...]
> Birthday of eternity
Last night I got the news a very good friend died, just as I was looking a new friend in the eyes. The missive came as a facebook update, as such it appears death has found a new carrier There is something my new friend doesn’t know, but soon will: The man she is getting [...]
> Seven reasons to why
I decided to go back and look at a couple of posts (which I often do as a means to determine my progress) Two posts stood out in particular; “The INTP view of love and caring” and “Elbows, hearts and stones”. The former was written during a time of growing, deepening resentment and bitterness because [...]
> Instantaneous velocity
Marcus Aurelius wrote there is nothing inherently good or bad about change. I have to agree – change is what you make of it So over the past year there was incremental change in my life that started with the realization that my current environment was decaying. I could either remain and enter a state [...]
