A centrifugal force of gratitude builds a gracious planet.

“Would you like me to take your picture together?” A voice from behind as I square up to take Cali’s photo with our bikes. A Sunday ride around Wheedon Island. The humidity is Floridian thick. The water warmer than normal, but clear, tinted greens with sandy browns. Calm. People fishing…

Jury Duty. My search for justice and other things.

“I suppose we should vote on who’s in charge.” “Yeah. Not me, I’m not campaigning for that.” “Me either.” “Nope.” Somehow six people, five not counting me, knew organically to speak clockwise around a rectangular table. A table manufactured to look like oak. Oak is the wood of choice in…

If you’re not where you should be, neither is the mentor. — “Do you know the toothpaste trick?” Her car’s engine purred. I heard the question. But my brain was too busy taking in new car smell doing battle with floral body spray and the lemon scented cardboard sunflower hanging from the radio dial. God. Even the seatbelt was perfect.

Smell the roses, hear the birds, see the life, and revel in the beauty of nature.

And try to remember what we’re loosing. — Gullfather made his presence clear a few years back by bringing a hundred of his crew to our backyard. I’d been feeding Muscovy ducks. Florida speckled and mallards. Boat-tailed blackbirds, crow, blue jay, scrub jay, raven, cardinal, finch, and grackle. Gullfather decided enough was enough. For them. …
