CRAZY

CRAZY

  A few days ago I posted a Waylon Jennings quote that I love. “I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.” It started me thinking about the difference between crazy and insane. I have a pretty good working knowledge of both conditions.  I’ve done some crazy ass things in my life.  Have I experienced insanity? When I got sober I was told that a “power greater than myself could restore me to sanity.” The implication being… Read More

GOLDEN CRUMBS

GOLDEN CRUMBS

  Many years ago I had a friend named George. George had been through a lot of therapy. It was before most people had. He was full of ideas and theories. And despite his own life being a bit askew he always had a cure for yours. Sometimes you just had to let it go in one ear and out the other. And there were other times where George was the conveyor of some true wisdom. I remember once when… Read More

DIVIDENDS OF A DIFFICULT MIND

DIVIDENDS OF A DIFFICULT MIND

  One might say I have been blessed with an overactive mind; one might say I have been cursed with an overactive mind;  one might say I simply have a mind—and it’s the only one I have this time around. Gifts and challenges come in the same package.  My mind is complex and busy, maybe brilliant at times, and it would rarely give me a rest if I had not developed practices and strategies for managing it. In EVERY DAY,… Read More

IF THEY ONLY HAD A HEART

IF THEY ONLY HAD A HEART

  When a man’s an empty kettle He should be on his mettle And yet I’m torn apart Just because I’m presumin’ That I could be a human If I only had a heart I’d be tender, I’d be gentle And awful sentimental Regarding love and art I’d be friends with the sparrows And the boy that shoots the arrows If I only had a heart Just to register emotion, jealousy, devotion And really feel the part I could stay… Read More

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS – UNANSWERED PRAYERS

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS – UNANSWERED PRAYERS

  The mystery of Malaysian Airlines flight 370 seems to have highjacked the airways and remains a constant on all the news channels.  The endless restating of limited facts and difficult to understand technical data is all a bit mind numbing, until you stop to think about the passengers and their loved ones. What must it be like for the families of the missing passengers and crewmembers? They’re world turned upside down.  What has happened here? The frustration and the… Read More

FIRST RESPONDER

FIRST RESPONDER

  As we all know the first responder is the person on the scene of an accident or crime that shows up ( hopefully) before anyone else. EMS, Police, Firemen, the first ones we rely on in case of emergency. They are fast.  They are proficient in being ready to move in a split second. They are so trained to act they don’t actually have to think. That ingrained sense of “I’m on my way” is why you hear about… Read More

IT’S OK TO LET GO

IT’S OK TO LET GO

Have you ever wanted to say goodbye to someone but couldn’t?  Wanted to tell someone that the relationship between the two of you wasn’t quite what you wanted it to be?  Have you ever wanted to end something but you were too afraid to do so?  Afraid of how the other person would respond?  Afraid of hurting someone?  Afraid of the unknown? I fully realize that it’s impossible to put myself inside your head.  Anyone’s head for that matter.  But… Read More
