The Price of Fame
Last week was the penny drive for the Guild School.Strange the effect of media. Before we agreed to have our son on billboards, TV and the Internet, people unknown to us would come by and give us their unwanted advice as a way of saying Hello. One guy came up…

Tra, tra, tra ... Live for Today
An argument broke out between them, though argument maybe rather too harsh a word. The two twenty something artists were much to attracted to each other’s spirit and work to have a fight or argument. Sarah, tall driven to succeed, has an aesthetic of early post-impressionistic deadhead. Her art… Read full post »

The Driving Will to Power on the Commute home
My Spokane Bus riding adventures continue, though I am not sure what to make of this one. As I boarded the bus near my work, I go to the back of the bus and find a seat close to the back row. The part of the bus is sparse of people,… Read full post »

Come closer... I have a secret
I just posted this review of Frank Warren's project of posting secrets. The point of my post is that we all need a place that is both safe and honest to reveal ourselves before the world. Here is Frank's Ted Talk.
Come closer, I have a secret. I have heard this many

Theosis - An Easter Experience
My hands shadow the world
in their movement before the light.
The light, my hands, and the blocked
light are connected, like the plastic
Easter eggs filled with chocolate.

by the returning life. Jesus

Exercises Kindness, Justice and Righteousness on EARTH
I wrote during the whole Health Care debate about the need for providing health care for our poor. Surprising to people, I wrote as a committed Christian. I wrote that health care was not only a good thing to do, but a Biblical mandate. It was also more than a political… Read full post »

The woman, budding young in her kelly green,

by light pink kakis, grimaces in deep silence
from her day. Perched up on the moving

Be happy
Here is a riddle.
Ask most people what they want out of life and what do they answer? Happiness!
It’s common both in the amount of times you hear it and in how mundane the answer is, like some beauty pageant contestant claiming holding hands will bring universal utopia. We know behind her…

Rather than pouting, the pair pointed
upward
in a gaze, daring the gathered around

to see the bearings of the universe in the

on one lone eagle gliding in the blue of
dispersed
light. On their feet, the gesture of the
two, leads

In the Valley of Life: Stories and Remembering Ann
I have started reading John
Goldingay's reflection and remembrance of his wife,
Remember Ann. I have had the book awhile and have been fearing
reading it. I knew John and Ann during my days at Fuller Seminary.
Ann was diagnosed with MS early in their relationship and John

The Pain in my Thoughts and Thighs
The Pain in my Thoughts and
Thighs
I start my morning with a
cliché,
a lukewarm one at that. Walking
on ice, my reality.Trending on ice
that was once was snow, but tires
and time turned into a sheet of a
mixture
white and black ice, another overused
metaphor of good and bad. So, here

Not Another Telemarketer
Dime Day Doubts
When the history of world is written in
blank verse,
as all true history is inscribed in iambic
pentameter,

telling your to buy the telegraphed past

Codices, then a technological advance

Compassion, Penn State and Moral Bearings
David Brooks is morally outraged over the Penn State affair. He is not morally up in arms over the conduct of the school officials, coaches or ever the perpetrator (let us refuse to use his name as all his victims currently lack the dignity of names). No he is morally outraged… Read full post »

The Limitations of Local
Chanterelles, yellow chandeliers in the

have the look of brains as the butter

in the shadows of the Grand Traverse,
we
found alpine strawberries smaller then the

Most of us will miss our rightful

probability proclaims we merely will

Few get a headline, let alone a chapter.

The Interlocking Chains of Command
When a bird is no longer in flight
he dreams of worms to eat. Might
he fantasize of freedom’s
glide and glaze
of flying? We humans speculate. But
for the bird, the air is just a means
for finding food.
Dinner—not escape.
What, then, do the worms dream
as they pick… Read full post »

Yes, there are libraries full of books promising the secrets of
life, the how to guides, and books that even try to make scripture
into a tool of manipulation. Click your heals three times, close
your eyes and tell the universe your heart’s
desire. Pray the right prayer to God. The…

Silly Thing Called Love
How come we sound so trite and superficial when we speak about
love? The jokes of seeing life as a Cumbia sing alongs by the
campfire with endless supplies of smores come
one’s way as way of shutting up any talk of
love. The dream of love seems more a…
