http://samespirithealingarts.blogspot.com/2010/08/birthday-wishes.html
Under the Forest Canopy. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. August 31, 2010. Today would have been my mother's 84th birthday. Though she's been dead for over five years I continue to celebrate her day of birth each year because finally, belatedly, I realize the vast impact she had- and continues to have- upon my life. With each passing year I become more like my mother or, at least, I'm more willing to acknowledge our similarities. I couldn't let those freshly harvested tomatoes go to waste. A movie about Russian...

Rave about Stagenorth's production of. That Frances and I attended yesterday afternoon. Wonderful! Pederson and Griffiths created...

Under the Forest Canopy. Friday, May 7, 2010. Deeply Rooted . Again. Deeply Rooted: Unconventional Farmers in the Age of Agribusiness. I mentioned that I would likely carry that book along with me to Baltimore while I visited my sister over Christmas. I didn't. There were just too many items to haul on my back and tote in my hands. I opted for thin, lightweight magazines as carry-ons instead. I didn't finish reading. What a wonderful, encouraging, inspirational, educational, salutational read! Though it ...

I can easily identify innumerable examples of personal persistence and perseverance by others. In the 2006 movie,. Career success he an...

Under the Forest Canopy. Sunday, December 27, 2009. Bidding 'Bye to Bawlmer. I'm blessed on my final day here with a beautiful Bawlmer- it's how locals pronounce the name of this city- sunrise. A peach glow with light yellow fuzz streaks along the horizon and rises up into a marine-blue sky. Yesterday . another day of adventure. In the afternoon we visited the National Aquarium, a 15 minute walk from Mel's apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed the 4D theater showing of. I suppose that 4D means you experience ...

Under the Forest Canopy. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. She lies on my lap as I write. Asleep. Now she stretches backward … falling from chair towards earth. I catch her one-handed and pull her back onto my lap where she wakes and begins to paw the sky, bite her tail, and then … my arm. Ears flatten onto her head and I lower her to the floor. Enough. Also, weirdly, the day before we met Chiripa at the Vet Hospital I checked out a book from the library,. Mew is for Murder. During Chiripa’s first few d...

Under the Forest Canopy: A Blessed Compulsion
http://samespirithealingarts.blogspot.com/2011/02/blessed-compulsion.html
Under the Forest Canopy. Sunday, February 6, 2011. It's Packer Bowl Sunday. Whoops. I mean Super Bowl Sunday. I imagine I'm one of a mere handful of people in the state of Wisconsin and most likely around the entire United States who won't be tuning into the Big Game this afternoon. Today I'm more interested in engaging in the sport of words. Since I'm the coach, receiver, and quarterback- the whole team really- in this game, I ask myself when I begin a writing project:. What game plan should I use?
