Every Day Zen
Today’s #LongerView, “Ours to Lose,” is about the art of republic, ours to lose at any time and we have come close. This is another one of those times. No truth ever lasts for it is not stagnant. It evolves. Republic is no less but will we find our way to it once again? Frankly,... Continue Reading →
Today’s #LongerView, “The Cable Guy Meets Old,” is about life around my apartment complex. Mostly, it’s a good one but it’s changing and just what that will look like for most of us isn’t quite clear but I am among the more fortunate for I still have a room with a view. This is one...

Today’s #LongerView, "One with the Wood," is about mornings and beginnings, in particular the why of my morning mantra. I wanted to capture being in the moment as if it were a destination. Always brings a smile to my face, too. What I discovered was less control meant a lot more living. I hope you... Continue Reading →
Today’s #LongerView, “Questions Are the Helpers,” takes a trip to the circus but doesn’t stay. Been there. Done that. I will not find the helpers there but I do in the details of every day I live. Each is a much better attraction. Hope you enjoy the post. As always, I provide the swinging bench.... Continue Reading →
Today’s #LongerView is about “Staying in the Game” when the rules change. I’m writing about writing and how its process is not is not as staid as I once thought but then, neither am I. Maybe that’s the key. As always, I offer the swinging bench. Enjoy. Aim for Even posts offer equanimity a dose... Continue Reading →
Today’s #LongerView considers the wisdom of Seth Godin in “Live With It,” appreciating boundary conditions even when they are regrettable. Somewhat like pick your battles but I take a quick side trip to the Little Big Horn River. Enjoy! As always, I provide the swinging bench. Aim for Even posts offer equanimity a dose at...

Today’s #LongerView is a look at love, not as it usually appears but perhaps as it exists. Who can ever know what goes on in another life? In this post, I am only an observer and cannot know this relationship; I can only give you “The View from Down the Hall.” As always, I provide... Continue Reading →
Today’s #LongerView, “All Right Will Never Be the Same,” is a drive through Georgia, one that I take frequently, but not usually in the way I did in this post. It does involve the medical profession and the unexpected. I hope you enjoy the post. As always, I provide the swinging bench. Aim for Even... Continue Reading →
Today’s #LongerView, “The Undertow of Thought,” is about bringing the meditative state into every day, rather than escaping into the somewhat seductive and oh-so-subtle mental wandering we do: the what ifs and if only. It’s like an undertow, as we learn to swim with rather than against it. As always, I provide the swinging bench.... Continue Reading →
In “Every Time He Shakes His Tail,” I remember my last year in graduate school, specifically the month of March, just six weeks before graduation. I almost didn’t graduate, and I would have been fine with that but it was not to be. Mostly what I remember from that time is discovering writing. That alone... Continue Reading →
