Sharing the Same Experience – Part Two
The ripple of a wave can be calculated by a falling pebble. The crashing of a meteor on a planet can be determined to the second. The temperature of a star in a distant galaxy can be known by its color. There is a solid answer for everything. But can we agree on something as… Continue reading Sharing the Same Experience – Part Two
Open your Eyes and Dream!
I was seven when I had my first lucid dream. Of course I didn't know the official name, but I did sense "I know I am dreaming." I was at the landing of our creaky staircase of my childhood home, three steps from the bottom. I saw my surroundings from my point of view, noticing… Continue reading Open your Eyes and Dream!
Sharing the Same Experience – Part One
As I drive west in the evening I admire the red orange sun making its last decent behind a mountain. At the same instant, it is possible that a person driving east may enjoy the birth of the full moon rising above leafy trees. Even if we travel together in the same direction, the sun… Continue reading Sharing the Same Experience – Part One
Secret Agent 27
I was also a secret agent! For twenty years I searched for clues and asked pointed questions to unravel the mystery of my birth mother. Who was she? Where did I come from? How did I get here? I was a curious detective. I was an undercover spy. My only weapon was my determination to… Continue reading Secret Agent 27
Time Traveler
I'm also a time traveler! Yes. I can show you how to be that, too. When you go out at night and see a beautiful star, did you know that you're looking into the past? Because the star is so far away that it takes million of years for the light of the star to… Continue reading Time Traveler
To those Who Love Us
Inside the womb, the outside arguments of anger and despair were muffled. I didn't see the pain my birthmother must have experienced while I was protected inside her. During non-violent times, I know she sang to me through the walls of flesh that separated us. In the hospital, the sounds were replaced by the shuffling… Continue reading To those Who Love Us
Way Out There!
"Way Out There!" Recently a schoolteacher described me affectionately as, "way out there." After all, purple is usually not the favorite color of men who desire to make a difference in the world. Also, strutting into a school classroom with an opened black and white umbrella above ones head does not always command respect. Purple… Continue reading Way Out There!
Imagination
When we admire life from its smallest building block, we see the sum of our hopes, fears, desires, dreams and imagination. That is why it is important to choose our thoughts wisely.
Dreams of Stardom
"Hello Matt! It is great to find you on Facebook," I typed on my tablet. It was so nice to catch up with Matt. He had a great sense of humor and a jolly laugh. I hadn't heard from Matt for over forty years since German class in High School. Two years earlier, Matt was… Continue reading Dreams of Stardom
The Gingerbread People
How can I serve these freshly baked gingerbread people cookies to my family? We have already become friends. Where can I hide them? https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/oops/
You Are Your Own Light
At first, the Words rested comfortably in high resolution pixels on the computer screen. Even with a quick glance, the Helvetia font shone with a sense of hope and nourishment. I prided myself on hiring only brilliant persons for my team. I even secretly embedded a list of questions that confirmed ones genius in the… Continue reading You Are Your Own Light
The Grocery Store
The old woman bumped her shopping cart head-on into moms. "Goodness, M.. I'm sorry," the old woman grumbled. "Oh, that's okay," mom said apologetically with a big smile." I guess I shouldn't have stalled in the middle of the aisle." Mom's cart was not in the middle of the aisle, and the old woman simply… Continue reading The Grocery Store
A Lesson on Anger and Fear
As I scroll through social media I see how so many people are eager for retaliation in the Paris attacks. We were harmed, we say, so others must be harmed. What we do not understand is that terror does not eliminate terror. Anger is a normal stage of grieving. When decisions are based on anger… Continue reading A Lesson on Anger and Fear
I Love Cheese!
I Â didn't intend to pay $21.00 a pound for Welsh cheddar cheese. In fact, I wasn't planning on buying cheese at all. At the grocery store, tiny yellow cubes gently stabbed with toothpicks marched in single file at the dairy counter. "Try one," the sales lady smiled. She must have detected my wolf-like pause. I… Continue reading I Love Cheese!
