rebound
Do you have times when it seems like something is lost/gone forever? My daughter, Hunter, recommended a book to me: The Last Fire Season, by Manjula Martin, a month or so ago. I didn’t start it and didn’t start it…
whelm
This is Peaches. Riding the waters. Riding the “whelm”. Whelm? There doesn’t seem to be any rolling wave action here, does there? But, in some sense, do you feel as if we’re all riding a forward momentum together? We don’t…

home sweet home
Do you know that Bob Marley song about the little birds? “Woke up this morning, smiled at the rising sun” (something like that..) And the little birds sing to him. So yesterday morning, I myself woke up and …. I…

Do you remember a moment when your life changed? When you had only known one way to think of yourself and then… wow! Here’s another? I was born in Virginia, 72 years ago. That’s a while ago. I went to…
