I AM LIKE A LAKE
I am like a lake that turns over periodically - Revealing the other side, but still the same water; Not a whole new woman, not a changed personality, Just a different side than the one that has been showing. It confuses some people, people who don’t turn over like that, People who are more...

"FOR THE GOOD LIFE"....THOUGHTS ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY AS I LIVED IT
Driving down the highway that runs through Llano today, my eyes filled with tears……they rolled down my cheeks……my nose started running…..and then I started laughing at myself…..I’m crazy. Okay….back up. I’d driven into Kingsland to pickup my mother’s dogs from the woman who had boarded them while...

QUOTE OF THE DAY..........THE PRICE OF ANYTHING
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. Henry David Thoreau Do you believe that? I do. I believe it’s true on several levels. Most obvious, think of it in purely objective terms and come up with some way of putting a dollar value on your time. If you are employed or spending...

COLLECTIONS...........THINGS
I’ve collected things all my life…..lots of things…..sort of a thingaholic, I am. Not just anything, of course…..the things have changed….well, some things haven’t.

LOGIC.....A DEFINITION
I wrote this down in my paper brain many years ago......I have no idea where I got it, who said it, when or where. I think logic is a word that gets thrown around a lot....usually without a lot of thought about what it actually means. Lately, I've read some comments by people who I am sure think...

AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS....... (FUNNY.....EVIL, BUT FUNNY)
An atheist was walking through the woods. "What majestic trees"! "What powerful rivers"! "What beautiful animals"! He said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as...

FEARLESSNESS WITHOUT TRUST? NO WAY!
I recently decided that I want my epitaph to be "She had a fearless heart." I decided this after hearing Steve Earle’s comments to an audience on one of his cd’s. He said that you can either get through life or live it and if you were going to live it, you only needed two things - an inquisitive...

A NEW EMOTION LEARNED.....LONELINESS
I just finished listening to Leo Kottke playing his rendition of "Wonderland by Night" and it brought me to tears. I felt like my heart was going to break. I have absolutely no specific memories attached to that song, although I have always thought it is beautiful; and I haven't even heard it in...
