 Sedentary


The word sounds like poured cement settling in and hardening.

Immobile.

Back aching.

Stiffening like curing concrete.

Around five cracked ribs slowly healing.

Not looking for sympathy.

I’ll heal.

It takes time.

Just emoting.

How’s your day going?

Memories of Nepal

-
  Memories of Nepal At the monkey temple, one tried to steal a lady’s purse, but she battled back. On the bus safari, a mother rhino and her big baby approached us within a few feet, but ignored us and continued grazing. We saw other rhinos in the lowland valley of southern Nepal. On our dugout canoe trip, we passed a number of crocodiles along the riverbank. The guide assured us - somewhat - that they had already eaten. Peacocks and monkeys were seen along the shore. At the Chitwan National Park elephant rearing station, we saw mother elephants and their offspring. The bulls roam the wilds of the Park. and are brought in annually to mate.

My Destiny

  My Destiny I’m writing my destiny now. Each man is an island if he chooses to be. I’m understanding my destiny now. No man is an island if he chooses to connect. I’m loving my destiny now. No man is an island if he leads with his heart. I’m expanding my destiny now. No man is an island if he ventures beyond himself. I’m sharing my destiny now. I’m bridging one island to another by sharing my truth from an unguarded heart. I’m living my destiny moment to moment now. My heart is hearing what yours has to say. I’m living my destiny now. My destiny is now, living each moment with an open heart.

The Yellowstone Trip

-
  The Yellowstone Trip Back in August of 2010, Patti and I took a trip with Amy and Aaron to a number of national parks and other memorable places on the way to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. These included the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Hills, Wind Cave, and Medicine Wheel National Historic Site.  The Badlands are well-named. They are other-worldly bad. Over-the-top bad. But beautiful as well in their own stark and sere way. We took them in, and drove on down the road.  Next stop, Mount Rushmore, the iconic faces of Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln peering down from their mountain home. Per the brochure, it took six years to carve the faces in the cliff, six years spread over the fourteen years it took to raise the million dollars for the project. The faces are up to six stories high from chin to crown. Taking a road off to the side of the mountain, we caught a different camera angle, the side of Washington’s face. We had a bri...
