Age
As i began living my 74th year, years, months, hours and minutes have all become much less significant. As i focus on how i am being in this second, i find my clarity around how the world is doing sharpened considerably. How about you? ...
Crap
As in Who Gives a Crap! This is what corporate responsibility looks like: https://us.whogivesacrap.org/pages/about-us Recently i received notice that the company had donated another half a million dollars to create toilets for those 2.3 Billion who do not have one.

Perspective
Yesterday, a relatively powerful storm interrupted electrical power to 219,000 households in Maine. Today, some were told that it may be three days until power is restored. Globally, 1.2 Billion people have little or no access to power at all. Perhaps we might want to think from time to time ...

IN THE FACE MIRACLES
Right this second you are participating in an absolute miracle. The question is, do you experience it? If you are able to see, a collection of between 10 and 50 trillion cells are organized so well that you can see, read and understand these words. Can you "see" (pun intended) ...

Ownership Does Not Equal Guilt

Always, when I travel, I am reminded that this is the last second
I have any guarantee of.
Buses, Planes, The London Underground.
What it brings up is not anxiety, rather a question about whether I have done the best I can do to be awake, present today with those I meet?
In what kind of shape are the relationships closest to me in life?
What might change in our lives if we gave up the need to be right?

And then I remember if anything is changed,
