Remembering: I sit with my cat and we look back on our pasts.

Remembering: I sit with my cat and we look back on our pasts.

At one point, I had no cats. Now I have three. A mother showed up pregnant. She had four kittens.  I gave away two of the kittens. Another straggler appeared, a little black cat. That was four at home. Eventually, one of the remaining kittens died, and now I’m down to three. I gained half a

An Insight: I hold all my futures in my head.

An Insight: I hold all my futures in my head.

My fascination with quantum paradoxes popped up yesterday. I’d been mulling over two courses of action, ways in which my life would go one way or the other. One good, one bad, to me. An inflection point happened, I saw the path forward and as I did, I realized that tracing out and imagining my fut...

Cold Days: It's time to huddle up and try to stay warm.

Cold Days: It's time to huddle up and try to stay warm.

There’s a cold wind blowing. My wind chimes have shifted from soft, melodious tinkling to an annoying cacophony. I had to disconnect the little swinging ringer causing all the noise. The quiet is beautiful. I'll put the ringer back down, when the wind dies, providing I remember. But maybe that’s...

Making Way: I'm ready for life's twist and turns, but I'm ready for a little straight road.

There was a time when I felt perpetually on. Sensitive to every twist and turn life was prepared to throw at me. If life was a roller coaster I knew better than to stiffen up and hold the sides. Better to relax and flow around the corners. Being tense in times of trouble bode ill for my chances of s

Disconnected: Winter my true ruminating time.

Disconnected: Winter my true ruminating time.

A sure sign of winter for me is the moment after sunset when there is still light to see but it’s all indirect. In that moment, the landscape is nearly colorless. The grass is brown and the green trees dull. Everything seems lifeless and you know the cold is coming. I had that moment last night as...

Travelers: The weather and the world is changing.

Travelers: The weather and the world is changing.

It’s a bright, cool Sunday morning. Early on, there was a heavy fog on the park pasture as the moist, warm ground met the cold northern air. It’s gone now, chased away by the sun. The rain washed air is clear and clean. The forecast for the week is dropping temps. We’ll soon be down in the 40s...

New Weather: Summer appears to be done, and now it's winter's turn.

New Weather: Summer appears to be done, and now it's winter's turn.

We had a big rain last night, and now I get to use words like turgid because the earth is full and swollen with water. Digging, if digging needs doing, will be easy and I have some I want to do. Formerly wilted leaves are fat with water and standing tall, and if you’re a tree it’s a good way to ...

What’s Coming: We have a general idea of what to expect, but there are always surprises.

What’s Coming: We have a general idea of what to expect, but there are always surprises.

Winter’s coming. That’s the promise. Rain tonight. Cool next week. Not cold, but it’s a start. We’ve already got the dark. The sun is off to warm other climes. It’s another phase in the long dance of our spinning planet around its sparkling sun as both move through the universe in tandem. ...

Cleaning: The conundrum of ownership; things need cleaning.

Cleaning: The conundrum of ownership; things need cleaning.

There’s a chance of rain this weekend. So, yesterday I cleaned the front gutter. I climbed a ladder and used my battery-powered leaf blower. The job was fairly quick. The ground along the front of the house is fairly level. I could have fallen, but I took my time and measured every step. I used my...

Adjusting: I get a clean bill of health with a dose of gratitude.

I’ve been poked and prodded twice in the last several months, checking my innards, first with an MRI and then with a fancy camera that detected a nuclear tracer. In both cases the subject of the investigation came back clean, which is a pretty good sign for the aging body of an old man. I’ll tak...

A few thoughts on cats, birds, and dances.

A few thoughts on cats, birds, and dances.

I think the universe likes balance. It sent us another cat to replace the one we lost. The newest one, much like the old one, eats and hangs out. No touching allowed. It mostly runs when I appear, although lately it has taken to simply moving a safe distance away and watching me talk to it. Yesterda
