Spinning Wheels

I feel like a hamster. One who sees a wheel, and jumps on board. Can't stop running. Calls it exercise but really, just can't stop going. Maybe it isn't a hamster. It is a Bunny. Like the Eveready brand. Keeps going, and going and going. Possibly, a mouse. One trying to learn that maze. To get to some water, or possibly a nibble of kibble. But, wondering why I am in the maze in the first place. Or, just a rat. One that is in a race. Looking for the cheese, but somebody moved it. Looking for some nourishment. Nourishment, not for the stomach. Nourishment for the mind. To nourish one's soul. Maybe open one's heart. Need to be human. Realize the luxury of choice. I can open doors to cages. Doors to be opened are opportunities. I will choose the wheels to run, the mazes to navigate, the minds to nourish along with my own.

Some likes and loves to ponder on a Saturday..

Some things to ponder: 1) I like to cook.  I am learning to expand and take more chances.  I love to cook for family and friends. 2) I like to mop.  It is a curse of laminate floors, but I can't help it.  I love a clean home. 3) I like good music which makes me smile.  I need lyrics, so it isn't just music.  I love to discover a new singer, or lyrics to match my mood. 4) I like to learn.  Reading, Researching and becoming wiser.  I love to be surprised by something new, even spiritual. 5) I like planned activities.  OK, this is partly false.  I find it hard to plan my personal life.  I love spontaneous moments of happiness. 6) I like wine.  I learned in California to respect the nuances of wine, not to the Napa standard, but to appreciate a unique red wine in particular.  I love a glass of wine on the beach with a good friend. 7) I like to travel.  I actually like traveling itself.  The adventure of going and getting there.  I love to stay home.  I love even m

I happened to like ______

I happened to like ______ So, a good friend wrote about the One World Trade Center in New York.  Mentioning the unique design, the symbol of America it represents, and I added his comments also reflect the resilience and personality of New York since 9/11.  I have written about 9/11 a few times and this is not that moment. It made me think of how lucky we are in the United States.  There are so many unique cities in this country that have a very unique culture and energy.   Made me wonder what it takes to be a unique even symbolically a city people should visit.  Shall we say a destination? There are global cities we all know, through movies, through press, and some lucky enough to visit.  We can think of London and its history, its waterways, culture, and royal palaces.   Or Paris, and its wide boulevards museums, and fine art and dining.  Hong Kong and its harbor and ability to be a global presence on small pieces of Land.  Or Tokyo, where the energy is non-stop and a un

Random Thoughts of Insanity

OK... I keep trying to write something and failing.  So, Glen, this is not without effort it is just my mind is not focusing on one thing and it makes it hard for me.  To write a blog post takes focus for me, and most importantly it takes that what is in my head is entertaining enough to want to write and share.   I have tried to write about heroes, and failed.  I tried to do some random humor and put myself to sleep.  There is much going on inside my mind just not enough to share into a coherent thought or post. So, let's see if through some random thoughts and observations, and if  I can turn this around into a blog post finally! Random Thoughts of Sanity (or not you decide): Vegan Food:  There seems to be a huge effort and market to make vegan food taste like their meat counterparts.  If to be vegan is to be healthier cause that is what your body needs, why does your body crave it to taste like meat?
