It was there . . .
The view in life’s rear-view mirror is much clearer than through my front windshield . . . all fogged-up, cracked-up, and mucked-up from wrong-turn crashes. To blame it on my spontaneous, ADHD, pedal-to-the metal, chaotic journey along life’s highway would be a convenient cop-out, but . . . I knew better! As Grandma often chided…

The White of Spring
Technically, white is the absence of color. Symbolically, white represents an ethereal purity, innocence, simplicity, clarity, cleanliness, goodness, hope, perfection, rebirth. White inspires emotional peace, restoration, and healing. Bride’s dress in it, and its brilliance adorns Christ’s robes. The white of snow’s fading grip blanketing Appalachian heights graced my wife on our recent 2,263 miles…

S.N.O.W. Therapy
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” This one from This Day Pictures app popped up my computer today. It triggered a hundred thousand words worth of memories of a solo snowshoe trek ten years ago high up in Alaska’s Talkeetna Range.

Wishbone Family Album
I was in my element today . . . wandering the woods with other turkeys. Wishbone definitely makes a fashion statement, but it doesn’t appear to ‘fowl up’ her relationships with the other girls in her family, or her flamboyant boyfriends 😊 “All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise…

Amateur Neighborhood Theater
Some impromptu entertainment performed by some feral forest friends this ‘ole turkey’ enjoyed this morning . . . and there’s no admission charge . . . Be Blessed, and . . . “For every animal of the forest is mine” ….”I know every bird in the mountains” – Psalm 50:10-11 Keep Looking Up . .…

Masking Secrets
Numerous, unexpected responses to the Brokenness post, followed some special one-on-one conversations blessed me. Thank you. It suggested ‘masking secrets’ is a prevalent, deeply personal issue many of us grapple with. At the risk of being annoying redundant, I ask your forbearance in posting this partial Brokenness addendum. Hopefully, perhaps it might encourage someone, somewhere…

Brokenness
This morning this klutso inadvertently bumped into a painted bracket fungus with a pastoral scene hanging on the wall. It fell to the floor, breaking into three pieces . . . Arrrrrgh! Bought four decades ago, the painting of an actual Central Square, NY barn built in 1830 evokes fond memories of an earlier era…

The Huddle
Gratefully Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is now beginning to show “promising signs” of recovery since his chilling near death experience suffered during last Monday evening’s Cincinnati Bengals/Buffalo Bills NFL game. The unhindered unity displayed among the players on both teams blessed me as tears replaced tackles; compassion eliminated competition; and prayer prevailed. May God…
