I reread the Sermon on the Mount last night. The following is not a parody, but thoughts about our lives.

Count your blessings, not your bunions. Count the goodness and the joy. Drop away your heartaches Attached to this girl or that boy. Cherish memories, not the grudges, Build bridges, don't let them burn, Live a life of goodness, This moment, this day, this turn.

My Notes from a Seminar

Our lives measured on the cosmic scale is a rather daunting concept.

Mere Moments

The world seems daunting today. Maybe I should devote time to smaller goals?

Hubris, a Haiku

This haiku came to me as we took a walk one day. I have an inkling I will expand it further, having more fun with Turtle's thoughts!
