It’s barely October

and ash leaves, still green, fall straight down, like parachutes above the battlefield that make quick vertical drops of ammunition. They lay like emeralds on a thin dust of early snow, that coats the deck white, drapes the open umbrella, blankets the garden chairs. We think we know when things are supposed to happen, bemoan the unseasonable frost, presume spring is late, proclaim the baby came too early. The ash leaves line the patio lounge chairs like bodies of young … [Read more...]

Solitude of Stars

the mind slowly rotates like the sun, and in the evening it casts long shadows of doubt, and in the morning sheds light on all that is at midnight, nothing no fear no anger no lust no hope for there need not be when all has fulfilled its purpose and the rare souls with eyes still wide, as big and round as Buddha's belly, sit in the solitude of a billion stars … [Read more...]

The Guarded Mind

You drudged the mote around the castle rock walls four stories high ten feet thick Little slits for a barrage of one-way arrows Catapults pulled tight ready to launch an offensive of boulders oiled and lit A stronghold of thousands of cavalry and infantry laced with steel plates and blades And to protect what? a senile old man sitting behind iron bars on an uncomfortable golden chair From a messenger with a scroll upon which is written: "Peace" … [Read more...]

Artists frequently face two major problems: predicting what subject matters will resonate with the buying public, and getting exposure for their finished pieces. By creating PostandPaint.com, business executive Lonny Kocina hopes to help starving artists - as well as budding art students - overcome those barriers to success. The concept is simple, and completely risk-free for consumers. You upload a favorite photo that you would like turned into a work of art, for example a pet, … [Read more...]

The Ouija Board And Me

By Leave a Comment

I am not a believer in the occult and the like. However, several years ago I bought a large and unique Ouija Board at a yard sale. It was worn and looked quite old. It was not your Parker Brothers model. It did not have a planchette. I took it home and put it in the bottom of a trunk and forgot about it. I never used it. One night I was listening to a late night talk show and heard several callers' spooky stories of scary experiences with Ouija Boards. A friend told me how he had a Ouija … [Read more...]

Kitty Hawk Moments

By Leave a Comment

When the Wright brothers achieved the first airplane flight at Kitty Hawk, NC, on Dec. 17, 1903, they likely had no idea how much the world would change as a result of that single event. The flight lasted only 12 seconds and distanced only 120 feet (shorter than the wingspan of a Boeing 747), but it marked a milestone in human history. In that one instant, humanity recognized that powered flight was real and we were no longer bound to the earth. Each of us has our own "Kitty Hawk moment" -- … [Read more...]

Despite the prophecies of Mayan calendar theorists who predict the world will end this month, the rumors of our collective demise appear rather exaggerated. In fact, cultivating win-win relationships gives us plenty of opportunity to step into our potential. Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)...Your energy, which has been held in check for the last little while, explodes outward. Having gotten to the bottom of a draining emotional issue, you shine forth now with a sustained burst of creativity that … [Read more...]

Thank you so much!

By Leave a Comment
thank_you

Every week, talk show host Jimmy Fallon does a regular segment on his “Late Night” program in which he scribbles brief thank you notes to random things and people. When I first saw the sequence, it was Christmas time and I assumed the host was showing his gratitude in the spirit of the holidays. Over time, I realized the show’s writers were just having fun…for example, “Thank you, tanning beds, for looking like human Panini makers.” Jimmy’s crew has inspired me to offer some Thank … [Read more...]
