There is a sad tradition in America of blaming the powerless for the machinations of the well heeled and influential who have had a hand in creating said conditions that impact the whole. If you listen quietly… You can hear a chorus of chuckling because the joke is on those pointing the finger in theContinue reading “Pointing the finger – An epiphany”

Leaving the nest – A reflection
I often make allusions to time being an unharnessed entity that is content with sweeping everything and everyone along with it without their consent. More recently I made an observation that: “you can’t keep track of time, but time is surely keeping track of you.” So when the time came for me to drop myContinue reading “Leaving the nest – A reflection”
