A recurring, intermittent sound that escapes me while I try to decide on my best path going forward. I firmly believe that the best way to cope is to make plans that I can actually do, and that will most help others (near and far)--both now and in the future. And then...TO WORK!

I took this photo in downtown Dallas during the late 1990s--from a bus window on my way home from work.
Any thoughts about what the stories of these two men might be...or a possible title?

Hello, All!
Any title suggestions or comments are appreciated!

I wonder,,,
Who is this? Where is this? And is the situation urgent?

Good Morning, Folks!
Need a quick diversion?
I'm wondering: Who is this mysterious person? And what is he up to? 🤔

Good Morning!
This is another page from the little book I made 20 years ago during a weekend conference which featured discussions of Parker Palmer's writings.

Good Morning, Everyone!
This is another page from the little book I made for myself 20 years ago during a Parker Palmer conference.

Good Morning!
I wonder what sort of creature this is?
Someone's pet, perhaps?
(Found, as you can see, on a map!)

This is a page from a little booklet I made for myself 20 years ago as a momento of a weekend seminar featuring the life-affirming writings of Parker J. Palmer. I felt a particular kinship with that panicky, imperfect kitty.
(Both the kitty the monkey are stickers I'd bought.) ❤️

Good Morning, Folks!
Here's a shape poem to take us into the weekend.
Its title is: "To Randy R."

Here's another Twiglee to dance us into Monday!

I'm posting this for anyone who needs a quick laugh.
I am revising a draft of a novel...and these are the opening lines.

Need a chuckle?
My Jeff asked me this question last week--and answered it!

Here are 2 views of the same "Twiglees." A ballet dancer--& the first I made. I shaped it from a failed Carissa Holly shrub that was badly root-bound before I had planted it in our yard. I'm fairly sure I over-fertilized it, too.
(The blue box is attached to the wall with thumbtacks!)

If you only ever listen to one song of mine, please choose this one. I wish I could say that it captures who I am, but I'd better just say that THIS is whom I aspire to be.

The perfect lyrics would express yearning, patience, hope, and...joy!

Here's a ZESTY freebie to help celebrate Saturday: a short & snappy piano solo.
It pairs well with, "Just Like Clockwork."

If you'd like to have the sheet music, I'll email it to you for free.

Here's my favorite Twiglys (pronounced Twig-lees) & its shadow.
The end with leaves comes from the trunk & branches of a small, dead shrub. The left half came from the roots.
I shaped the head by soaking a root, bending it, and then holding it in that shape with a strong rubber band until it dried.
