The United States of Imbalance
A familiar grocery store checker (members of a dying breed) recently mentioned to me, “What do you think is going on? What’s going to happen? We’re living through a lot of imbalance. She replied, “We’re all imbalanced inside. Everything is imbalanced.” What has been going on? Let’s go back to April 2020. What happened then? […]

Digital Dadaism (aka phoneistan dodoism)
Take a look around you, or look up from your phone…do you see (as the late great Tom Petty proclaimed on his final album release,) the “Hypnotic Eye?” Damn near every hominid in the western world has been overtaken by the ubiquitous so-called smart phone. Flat out in this digital dadaist age. It’s so sick. […]

Time Wave Zero
Where did the last 24 months go? Poof. Forever Gone. Time itself has never been more keenly felt than these past two years. Days felt dazed; Time slowing to a crawl, or rapidly dissipating into the ether in a swirling digital mosaic. Very strange times. My mantra for these last two years: “That was a […]

Sideways Sedona
There are times in life when nothing goes right. The universe has its own design and plans. You can do everything right and everything goes wrong. When it happens, you show up and go through it. Are you under the illusion, the path is winding your way? Are you surprised by confusion, when it leads […]

A new world has spun all around us…spinning like a spider web. We’re all feeling spun. In less than a year’s time everything has changed. Were we complacent before – how good we had it? Yes.

Half The World
Where are we now? Living through a once in a century pandemic. For some, it’s been the best of times, and for many more others… the worst of times. Divides are growing literally ever wider between us as social distancing and shutdowns persist to combat the Novel Coronavirus. Politically our divides have never been wider, […]

Stepping it up…Sucking it up…Sticking it out
2020 continues throwing us lots of shapes. As this most unusual year continues grinding on, more shapes are forthcoming. In light of a once in a century pandemic, most of the USA has absorbed, adapted and adjusted to a new reality. Humans adapt. We’ve all had to step it up in our lives – We […]

Disconnections & Reconnections
During this pandemic, reconnections have been made. Especially with those old past times which fell by the wayside. The simple things. Reconnecting with an old friend (and Lover) from a distant era. Hanging with a friend. Reconnecting with our families – sharing meaningful time and laughs together. Listening to old records (albums!) through headphones. Knowing […]

Escape From New York
In 1988, the crime rate in the United States rises four hundred percent. The once great city of New York becomes the one maximum security prison for the entire country. A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem River, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. It completely surrounds Manhattan […]
