I didn’t plan to bash NASA in my last post. I just happened to experience something in the next leg of my journey that reminded me of NASA. Mentioning these space gurus simply provided a good segue. Speaking of segues, I was crossing the border into Idaho. As I was driving, I saw a trainContinue reading “34 (Part 3)”

34 (Part 2)
Living is giving. Living is giving. The quote ran through my head as I drove through the Columbia River Gorge. And it continued as I drove through the Hood River area and through the Dalles. The phrase faded and I drove in silence, admiring the plateaus, the river, the waterfalls, the untouched hills, the windContinue reading “34 (Part 2)”
34 (Part 1)
Thirty-four hours, in a packed car, with a large dog in the passenger seat. That was the setting for the thoughts in this post.

What were some of the 40 presentations? Well, broadly speaking, theyContinue reading “Q (3)”

Q
Q is a letter. Q is also the name of a conference. The leader of the Q conference said that Q stands for questions, because the focus of the conference is asking questions, not giving answers. It’s not called A. It’s called Q. So I went to the Q conference, and I asked people questions. I don’t likeContinue reading “Q”
A Thought on Forgiveness
I have a friend–well kind of a friend, more like an acquaintance, who if we had more time to get to know each other, would be a friend. A person like that. In my life. Every other Monday. Anyways, this friend wrote a poem. It’s a really beautiful poem, but I can’t post it hereContinue reading “A Thought on Forgiveness”
