Perspective

My perspective is often way too small…

Thoughts From ICU

That realization when something is terribly wrong and I am realizing it in real time, very fast but in slow motion. The brain is wonderful. Sometimes brutal. The very fast life of mine flashed through scenes in a millisecond. Blood shooting several feet from my arms twitched my whole body, the tall ladder falling tooContinue reading “Thoughts From ICU”

Before Snow

My “before it snows” list is way too long. Harvest first is my motto. That goes out the window when family visits. Somewhere between the lines, the garden, hunting, fishing, dehydrating and freezing food for the long winter take precedence. I’m almost 500 emails behind and hope it doesn’t reach a thousand before the snowContinue reading “Before Snow”

Creativity Challenged

My thoughts on writing a song and the creativity parts getting there

Seasonal War

Most of our snow is melted. Lakes are still frozen. The apple, birch and maple buds are bulging. Maple trees are starting to be tapped for the second time. It’s spring on the Calendar. Winter will still say “not so fast bucko” and storm away a couple more snowfalls (weather app proves me right…yep don’tContinue reading “Seasonal War”

Expression

My thoughts through a camera lens as family opened gifts. A creation word. Expression. Facial art in a smile, frown or other muscle configuration. Frost, snow, rain, rays of sun on landscapes and filtering through grasses or dense forests. Genesis. “In the beginning God created” it all. Wow…our kids express this…Love, Joy, Peace and sometimesContinue reading “Expression”

Meandering Through Autumn

To meander is anticultural. Think about being in the grocery store or on the freeway. These people grate on society. Bill yourself as a “meandering comedian” and you will be hustled off stage by a “handler.” Stop to take pictures of a flower on a state park walking trail and you will soon hear “outContinue reading “Meandering Through Autumn”

Oh Summer…Where Art Thou?

Our household missed it. From April to mid-August, we missed way too much summer. Somewhere between medical emergencies, a life flight, month long hospital stays and indoor home rehab schedule, summers almost gone. In our case, my wife and I are caregivers to a physically handicapped daughter with a very bright mind. So, what’s yourContinue reading “Oh Summer…Where Art Thou?”

Among Us

I had seen her shuffling along the hospital hallways, humming to herself and arranging things in her cart. It’s not often one sees a great grandmother, all 5′ 2″, dressed in blue scrubs. No one seemed to pay her any attention at her half speed. It appeared mutual as she was lost in her ownContinue reading “Among Us”
