Shrouded Shore: The Many Musings of Thom Singleton

  Sprinter Spring in Winter, new season Sprinter The winter woods are gray, leafless, trees asleep day and night. As always, its denizens appear daily, deer nipping branches, finding birdseed below the feeder. Rabbits, squirrels, fox, and coyote in our backyard menagerie, even an opossum under our deck. The similarity with the winters of old ends there. This year in February, no snow and record temperatures in the 50’s and 60’s. Spring in Winter, Sprinter. We humans say this weather is nice. How will our animal counterparts respond to climate change? Will they lose their ability to live in a winter climate changed, sometimes in the 60’s then 0? Creatures in the warming southern seas are dying.  How will ours do in Sprinter?

  77 Years Double 7’s Lucky number x 2 That’s a good thought Beats “I’m getting old” Though I turn 77 today Looking now and looking back: Much to be thankful for A loving wife Two amazing sons Their wonderful women Way-cool grandkids Good friends and relatives A happy disposition A life full of blessings And now double 7’s How can a guy be luckier and happier than he is already? 

  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.
