The End and the Beginning

Don’t you just love Halloween?  This whole time of the year – what with its Harvest Festivals and its Renaissance Festivals; the decorations and costumes and make believe; honestly, I find it refreshing, especially Halloween since in spite of the commercialization, it is still instantly recognizable as the pagan holiday that was celebrated by many...

Drying Out After Sandy

Rediscovering Reality is drying off after having been in the direct path of Hurricane Sandy.   It is inevitable that a storm 900 miles wide would impact nearly the entire eastern coast of the United States and would leave behind a wide swath of mayhem and havoc behind her even after making landfall and my heart...

Always In Joy

Do you remember when you were a teenager; when there was a guy (or girl) that you really liked and who you wanted to notice you.

You know the thoughts I’m talking about.  The kind that... Continue Reading →

The Tsunami of Emotion

“This tsunami of emotion never gives you adequate warning.  Of course it doesn’t.  It waits until your back is turned…until you are sure that you have everything that you could possibly want or need and then, oh yes then it crashes over you with an unstoppable force; ripping your feet out from under you and...
