Multi-tasking makes me cuckoo!

I’ve lost something and have been trying to meditate to remember where I put it.   It hasn’t been working, though, and I finally realized I am meditating while I am multitasking.   Doh!    That’s what happens when you have a lot on your mind. It seems like the older I get the less productive multi tasking [...]

What old people laugh at …

I don’t think I can do this justice.   I probably shouldn’t even attempt it.   It is rather embarrassing that as I get older some of the bodily functions that at one point in my life were taboo to speak of now make me bust up with laughter. Okay:    Background to this story: *  I have [...]

December’s leaves

Look at the beautiful golden leaves that are still on the trees up and down our street. Ordinarily our leaves don’t even change color before we wake up one day in early November and all of the non-bearing mulberries in town are dropping them in syncopation … as if they’ve talked it over in advance.

Mind Under Matter

Today has been a reversed “Mind over Matter” day.    “If I don’t mind, then it must not matter.” For instance, do I mind if there is a basket full of laundry to be folded and it’s sitting in the middle of my sofa where I and anyone who walks in the front door can see [...]
