I am a Wordpress rookie. As promised, come hell or high water, I finally got my “baby blog” going. For the time being, it is not interactive. No, it’s just a place for me to share my written words, and for others to take what they like, and leave the rest.

At the start of this endeavor I am almost 66 years old. Allegedly “retired”, I never lack for inspiration in a world pulsing with options...and distractions.

I’ve never understood the concept of boredom. While for some it is regarded as an unavoidable reality, I seem to teeter toward an intolerance of it.

And, as a person who seeks compassion, I know that condescension besmirches my soul.

We are all different, wired as we are by our respective predispositions, the environment we’re birthed into, as well as all future pit stops and destinations.

This word ramble on the matter of boredom reminds me of journaling back in the seventies, e.g., when I took an Introduction to Philosophy course...

Were I enrolled in said class today, all of the above pros would likely be entered into the journal. Now, as then, I would not necessarily reach any conclusions; but I’d do a spectacular job of contemplating...the contemplation!

Laying on of Hands DRAFT

Moral Majority Draft

I looked up, and there was Pat Robertson on the tube making reference to the president’s “mandate from heaven”. Having attended a four-square-gospel-fundamentalist-evangelical type church for 20 years…I was not alarmed by the term being used. Similarly, I knew that an anointing was implied, that the old preacher practically had the Bible memorized, so his… Continue reading Moral Majority Draft

Royal Despot

Some days my heart aches with the patriotism I once thought I was incapable of. As it turns out, I have a deep love for my country, especially now that I witness it teetering on the brink of demise, at the hands of a man who considers himself king. This fellow knows little about the… Continue reading Royal Despot

Otis A Native American

Otis and his flag had appeared multiple times in my camera roll by the time I found him in the Whole Foods dining area. We’d both just rallied at the Federal Courthouse against the separation of families as the result of the Zero Tolerance policy. I’m so glad I decided to approach Otis, to tell… Continue reading Otis A Native American
