So, let me see if I have this correct… My persistent public urging for the overthrow of this republic – a representative democracy – is covered by my first amendment rights, unless it actually falls, whereupon it was likely seditious, but there are no longer any Democratic institutions or laws to hold me accountable. SeemsContinue reading “Uh, What?”

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” – African proverb
As 2021 comes to an end, I’m very excited to welcome yet another new year. You’d think, having done this some 60-plus times before, it would begin to look a little same-same. Thankfully, with each new year we all get a chance to start fresh… the beginning of new promises, resolutions, and life decisions. ItContinue reading ““If you want to go fast, go alone.

Are you the bud or the thorn?
When “She Who Must Be Obeyed” and I first “took to housekeeping,” as it was said where I come from, our first home was a small brick ranch. You know it. You may have lived in one yourself. But, even if you have not, you have certainly been in one. Just in case, let meContinue reading “Are you the bud or the thorn?”
Charles Dickens, Thomas Jefferson and a little Bob Dylan Thrown in Will Get You ‘Truth’
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, itContinue reading “Charles Dickens, Thomas Jefferson and a little Bob Dylan Thrown in Will Get You ‘Truth’”
When he is gone…
When he is gone, speak his name no more. Let the very thought of him fall to the cutting floor. Do not thrust your camera in his face. Let heaven and earth together forget his place. Do not seek him out to ask him who and when and what and why… Do not give himContinue reading “When he is gone…”
The Traditional Sounds of Christmas
On any number of occasions, I have been known to say that God did not make me handsome, so he gave me a voice. As the story is told, and always by me, while waiting in line to leave heaven, bound for earth where I would soon be born, Our Lord took one last lookContinue reading “The Traditional Sounds of Christmas”
Blessed Winter Solstice, and Welcome to Christmas Week!
This morning at 5:02 EST, with a silver slice of Sister Moon Shining brightly, Brother Sun stopped and stood completely still momentarily directly over the Tropic of Capricorn south of the equator. At that moment we welcomed this year’s Winter Solstice. Brother Sun now begins his long journey back to the north. Here at FallingContinue reading “Blessed Winter Solstice, and Welcome to Christmas Week!”
Always Darkest Before The Dawn!
The first person to use this proverb was Thomas Fuller, an English theologian, in the year 1650 and the idea behind this is related to the literal meaning of dawn. Dawn begins when the first light begins to show over the horizon from the sunrise. Therefore, there is the least light before dawn begins, because there while there isContinue reading “Always Darkest Before The Dawn!”
Six Days to Alter the Arc of the Universe
Civil rights champion Martin Luther King, Jr. once delivered a powerful speech with this resonant line: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Beautiful, huh? We all love this great Martin Luther King, Jr. quote… But over the last decade or so, it has been repeated so many timesContinue reading “Six Days to Alter the Arc of the Universe”
An Exploration of Faith…
Recently, I’ve been on an exploration of familiar prayers. I began with The Lords Prayer and continued with the Hail Mary. I then took up the Creed and tonight did the Glory Be… It is interesting what happens when you remove the gender and the patriarchy. When you begin to explore the greater concept thatContinue reading “An Exploration of Faith…”
