Rituals…

We all have ‘em. Little ones. Big ones. Good ones. And yeah, bad ones. I’ll bet a neurologist could wax scientific on the advantages of streamlining neural pathways, or some such stuff.

Inside the Deep 4
5 Tia, 1ND I decided Yommer needed only 50 wakes. And I’ve been thinking of Tia a lot lately, and thought I’d just name this period in their honor.

My Best Life
Beautiful day today. It’s 1pm and only mid-seventies, with a breeze. Sun is shining, a few clouds skittering by with associated shadows on the ground; a Platonic perspective indeed. I’m sitting on my covered porch looking out at the little valley and wiping the sweat off my face. I’ve finished my lower yard. I use… Continue reading
