One of the benefits of being snowbound for a day was enjoying the wonderful banana bread my wife baked, from the smell of it cooking, to the taste of a warm slice, to the good feeling in my stomach w…

The weather pattern has been going in stretches, sometimes unsettled. Storm after storm keeps us glued to the weather reports as we attempt to know what to expect next. When life goes through unsettl…

With all the recent snow storms, my mind drifts back to 1969, just after we built our home in Madison, when it snowed for four days, accumulating to four feet. That was a record. Life is filled with …

March 1 is considered by the meteorological community as their first day of spring. I like that idea even though winter is currently in charge. It gave me something to look forward all through Februa…

On the last day of February, I can already hear the lions of March roaring and gnashing their teeth, keeping spring at bay. The forecast is for unsettled weather. With a positive attitude we can alwa…

The woodpeckers love to peck away at the suet feeder just outside my window. It is a piece of tree limb with large holes in it that my son fills with the suet. Life has many enriching adventures knoc…

The weather, for me, reflects life in many ways, as the sharp contrasts between light and dark that I observed in a recent sunset. Life is full of contrasts when we live under the influence of our eg…

When I used to do hypnosis stage shows, I had a skit where I would freeze someone’s ability to see what was happening until I unfroze them. The brook is doing the same thing, freezing and unfreezing.…

There is something about looking out the front window on a clear winter day, just as the sun rises, and being welcomed by a pink glow on the mountains across the valley. I am always inspired. I wonde…

It seems as though everything in live is on Confuse Control and we spend a lot of time sorting it all out to make sense. Even my wife and my cell phones are confused, and she gets calls on her phone …

There is a lot of interest lately in Artificial Intelligence and how it is going to impact our lives, but actually I am thinking of Akashic Intelligence housed in a library in the Cosmos. Here we hav…
