Sandals and a Stick

Spell Greed

There is a new reason to shed tears when reading “I Wish You Enough.” Inside, we mourn our moral collapse even as we embrace our own greed. Sad.

All satire aside, this whole note is actually a special thanks to that “person of extreme importance.” I am so grateful for the cup (and all that went with it), but mostly for all that your generous gift has taught me. Thank you, Sunshine – with all the love I have to give.

But we do not have to stay in this place. We can muzzle the call for reinforcements. Someday, when we hear a troubadour play in our village square (alright, musicians in malls, auditoriums, and even pubs), we can choose a different path. There are no species gaps to bridge here, but a bridge is needed to allow calm and rational discourse. May it begin with song.

New Grips

What do you miss? Can you re-engage with it? Can you “update the grips” on something that once brought joy? It might be a lost friend, singing in a choir, tending a garden, or even the simple pleasure of washing a car. Joy doesn’t disappear; it just waits for us to return. The answers live in your heart. The new grips won’t feel like the old ones, but if you allow the change, you may find new hope, perspective, and maybe, new life.

Black Ice

Honestly, I am certain that I sometimes wander this planet unaware that I am treading on life’s black ice. I believe all is well, that I am on track. But truthfully, I am not making any contact with the road. In fact, just one short blast of life’s unexpected winds could blow me off the pavement at any moment.

Carry It Through

These productions beckon to us in a deeply personal way. They speak to a longing deep inside our hearts. We see the good that’s possible. We identify with each protagonist fighting to preserve sharing, selflessness, and a willingness to give of ourselves. We embrace familiar dialogue as characters who, wrapped in the holiday spirit, encourage generosity, peace, and love.
