Pebble in a Stream…
Posted in Life, tagged Life, philosophy on July 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Lately I have felt a little like a pebble in a stream… tossed this way and that, as life rushes all around me… more powerful than my strength to resist… it washes over me and pushes me along…. mostly where I would not choose to go… the absence of blog posts lately is evidence of [...]
The Future is Now… And So is The Past.

A couple of weeks ago I happened to drive by the graduation ceremonies at Alfred University, and it made me contemplate the ever “present”… and how nobody lives there… in the present, that is… Take me for example. I remember the last class, or more correctly, the last college exam I ever took. Now, I’ll [...]

Yesterday I heard the sad news that David Carradine had died. At first I heard he died of natural causes and then I heard he was found naked and hanging from his neck in his hotel closet… that didn’t seem too natural to me… I mean… how does that happen naturally? Anyway… and either way… [...]

For the past three days, I have been frustrated. Last weekend I purchased a new Braun razor… In fact, the top of the line. I have owned Brauns for more than ten years and was so sure of the quality of the razor, I didn’t bother to save the packaging. Included with the razor is [...]
The Truth Will Set You Free…

The truth will set you free… free of friends… free of a job… free of family… completely free. Good luck with that honesty thing. I had a good upbringing. I was taught the importance of being honest… In other words, I had been lied to. I was ill equipped for the real world. I was [...]

I was driving down to Woods Hole, Massachusetts from my home in Connecticut Friday evening. The kids were fast asleep in the back, snuggled in their car seats; my son with his face planted in a bag which contained his most prized possessions (those elite toys which won his favor to make the weekend journey) [...]
I Wish I Was You (Part I)…

It was a warm… very warm (actually, hot as hell) early summer day in 1981. I was standing off to the side of a concert shell in a park in downtown Orlando, Florida; Lake Eola Park to be exact. There was a breeze but it didn’t help much… the hot air would push against my [...]
When Right is Wrong…

A friend recently commented on one of my posts in which I criticized people who were closed minded. In particular, the friend wanted to know if I thought it was wrong for someone to be firm and unbending when it comes to high principles. Of course a person should stick to the truth when they [...]

I saw a most amazing thing yesterday. I was sitting in a booth at the Olde Deerfield Spring Sampler Craft Show in West Springfield, Massachusetts… it was slow. Mostly, that is what these shows are like; slow. I was by myself watching as people came and went… mostly looking… nothing eventful… the usual. I would [...]
