Stream of Consciousness During Peter Kater Concert
Peter Kater is an astounding musician whom I have been privileged to hear in concert twice 25 years apart. His growth is phenomenal as I hope mine has been…but looking deeper, I realize I am escaping reality incrementally… mentally.

Petite Large or Fitting In
While discovery, uncovering & some strange music playing over the speakers of life, I remained silent. I wondered if the muse had gone back to NM after experiencing Florida humidity. But it turns out she can get into the passenger seat, or actually drive our vehicle, but it’s simpler when the fit is good these […]

Epilogue & Epiphany: Both Sides Now
I stare into the hurricane whose eye will not blink. Many changes are in the offing (offering) of life. Now is as good a time as any to break open the piggybank of experience & count the coins. I give gratitude for the gifts & guilts of my existence. I have lived through so many […]

A Birthday of Blessing
Being fully human: I am fully divine. I am based in blessing Rooted in divinity Wrought in the free will of Self Ablaze at times with the incandescence of a life well-lived My joys are a playground of opportunities The games they engender Call through my windows The call to prayer is also the call […]

Landfall
Hurricane Ian is coming. Arrival is Wednesday mid-day. But the acolytes gather with candles & water containers after securing their outdoor possessions & wishing they had a stormproof garage. I gave in to fear for about ten minutes, firing up search engines to track the storm, reading emergency procedures. That wore out fast! There was […]

“When Possible, Make a U-Turn”
I’ve read that even when we are lost, maybe turned around in direction, the place we are lost in needed our energy to pass through it. I am intrigued by this as it gives a validation to dithering. My Garmin unit has fallen heavily into like with Rt 75 here – Florida’s answer to 95 […]

Before the Cat Died
PREPONDERANCE Tisanes of my own making: I still say coming forward for others Is more than my own reality The vague blur of expired lenses Less keen than real perceptions The radiation of my Chernobyl life Pulsing in the machinery. My heart decides its own measure Diverging from the body’s hosting. Finding that hidden doorway, […]

Landings
I wonder why I lived in such a hardscrabble place as T or C now. Perhaps cuz I didn’t know it was such. It filled all needs for some time. I had forgotten (or perhaps never had access to) the option to stay anywhere else without pulling down a salary when I’d rather stay retired. […]

Arrival
Five days later, 1900 miles on car trip counter – no signs for Sarasota until 7 miles out of town. First impressions: commercial sprawl; old trying to look new with spiffy add-ons; traffic sincere about getting to the next red light as quickly as possible. Hope my NM plate saves me some harassment. Beautiful birdsongs, […]

Day 5 Journey Journal
I can tell Florida is a real tourist state – not just a pass-through. It’s apparent in the quality of even the less expensive places I’m staying. The Baymont last night was so solidly constructed I heard nothing & I was across from the elevator by the breezeway. The a/c unit was quiet, unlike the […]
