Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself this is puzzling? What is it to be puzzled? How can we use this experience of being puzzled as a positive and grow through it to complete the picture? I am listening to some great podcasts and YT video recordings talking about values, beliefs and rock-bottom thinking.Continue reading “Puzzling ….”

What’s EARLY!?
Today … and the past week or so I have been up before 6 AM! Why because I am staying with my family and there are two young men in my world daily! One morning I was wakened at 5:45 AM! He stood at the edge of the bed and said, “Gramma, I kind ofContinue reading “What’s EARLY!?”
Is there really no music
There is a story I tell and I have no idea where it came from. I just tell it. It is about a person who argues there is no God! They stand up with fire and fight and say, “I am an astronaut and I have been to the reaches of space and I canContinue reading “Is there really no music”
Time … I have talked about this before
Where does time collapse into? Whether I think about something from 62 years ago, in 1963 like my sister’s wedding where I was a flower girl at four years old, or my thoughts about yesterday’s hike in the woods, where do these memories go for me to then recollect them later? I find that soContinue reading “Time … I have talked about this before”
Spiritual Gathering
Good Sunday Morning …. it is a glorious morning and these kinds of Sunday mornings often make me reflect on my hunger and need for spiritual community. I used to go to “church”. That which is a Christian community filled with people who have a common belief. The liberal nature of my belief no longerContinue reading “Spiritual Gathering”
Recovery …. What is it?
I am in recovery and am open about that. I am recovering from abusing my body for many years, while letting the world think I was fit and healthy and strong. I wasn’t. I was a coward. I was hiding. I was harbouring secrets. I was abusive to myself. I was the opposite of foundContinue reading “Recovery …. What is it?”
Settling into an “aging” life
Today, I baked the most beautiful muffins. I used very ripe bananas that I had put in the top of the fridge, in the freezer, and I ground some oats and grouts to use. I ground my own flax seeds and I gently and carefully stirred the mixture. Today, I went for a walk, aContinue reading “Settling into an “aging” life”
Vicarious Trauma in Aging
Well, this has been a week of learning for this third third traveller! Oh! my! Goodness! What a time I have had. First, let me remind you, if you need reminding I have a lovely family of two adult children who are both approaching their 40th birthdays in the next year or so. These adultContinue reading “Vicarious Trauma in Aging”
Micro watching
My red coffee cone, black fine grind, yellow container with grounds, blue t-shirt, black leggings …. wet shower, cool breeze in the window, sun rising further into the south and setting the same, red kettle boiling the water, blue sky of welcome ….. the morning has arrived. I am leaning into this stage called ‘retirement’.Continue reading “Micro watching”
Are you hiding?
I remember being accused of being a mushroom …. hiding in the dark and living in sh!t. I was a mess. A mess of my own making. I spent so many years trying to find my way into the light. While I love mushrooms I don’t want to life like the ones we eat asContinue reading “Are you hiding?”
