My friend’s art in my home

For the most part I’m a serious person, but I have a whimsical side and an odd sense of humor as redeeming qualities. I realized this morning that some the art pieces I live with reflect that. One of my friends told me the other day that there wasn’t much on my blog that reflected [...]

Walking through the woods with Piglet

Piglet’s Song

Let’s find a Way today,
that can take us to tomorrow.
We’ll follow that Way,
A Way like flowing water. Let’s leave behind,

Still, my heart aches for those in China and Burma, coping with [...]

Accident report

Thanks to everyone for your love, support and concern! I am so grateful that Eric and Mike are, apparently, physically ok. Obviously there is emotional trauma, as there is with any near death experience.
It’s difficult to describe the intersection, so a few photos, and a video link.

Tragedy’s shadow passes over

I got home from my book club meeting last night to find a couple of calls from Eric on my phone. That’s not unusual, but it wasn’t that late, so I called him back without listening to the message. He’d been in a car wreck., was very shaken but seemingly ok. Kept talking about [...]
