The Gift

The wind shrieked with a soul of its own as if it was coming for someone. The rain pelted the old pane glass windows as hard as ice crystals. The cabin, built by her grandfather, was the only shelter against the late autumn tempest. Lillian Grace’s father was out there somewhere trying to get back […]

Why do we choose Insanity so often?

There is a line from James Cameron’s movie ‘Avatar’, where our main character, Sully, is trying to integrate himself into the indigenous beings on the an alien planet. This scene came back to my mind while traveling. In the story ‘Avatar’ they, (we) the humans, have no clue how ‘life’ on Pandora (the alien planet) […]

Moments That Take Your Breath Away

The Journey… It was a chilly October day with grey slate skies overhead. The Trailways Silver Eagle had been motoring up I95 to Baltimore, then turned north east up 795 to one of those little towns that we all have never been too, or ever heard of. Today’s journey would end on pavement surrounded by […]

Question the Un-Questionable for 2015

Speak-Life for 2015 Grace vs. Law This has been roasting within me for years, and the start of the new year is a perfect time to air it out. Before anyone from my past gets’ offended, I am speaking about me and no one else. Just want to make sure you know where I am […]

Bucket Full Of Stars

I’ve had this desire to take good photos of the Milky Way. A couple of years ago I purchased the camera that would do the job, and studied up on what I needed to do in order to get this on film (Memory). You would think it wouldn’t be hard. I mean, it is floating […]

The Gift of Flight

I had a dream when I was a child, of flying. That dream led me in many different directions. One of course, was the children’s book, ‘THE DAY I LEARNED TO FLY’, which was published last year. But flight is a love affair, and once she bites, it’s sorta like a snapping turtle, she doesn’t […]

I Swore I Would Never Say That…

I Swore I Would Never Say That… I have been having a little bit of an issue with my son. He is full bore sixth grade, and drinking testosterone like it’s a soft drink. He has gone from being a sweet, cuddly little boy, to a smelly, tall, big foot, man-child. I remember very clearly, […]

It’s just business…Yea

It is Personal… I was thinking about this weeks ago. It’s taken a number of years, and yes, maybe it is true that life doesn’t start ‘making sense’ or ‘you don’t start coming into your own’ till the 50’s… but, for those who know me, you will be shocked, I am a ‘relationship guy’. It […]

Imprints Of The Heart

I really struggle at times trying to convey, connect and bring forth the link between what is in my heart, head, soul and spirit to word, sight and document. Sometimes a picture brings this forth to a certain scale, or a piece of music and I think, as the human condition allows, it brings us […]

The March

It’s the end of October. We are eight weeks away from Christmas and the start of a new year, 2015. Just last week I was seated at the water’s edge, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, almost as if it was birthing each new wave as it rolled onto the sand, only to […]
