  • Is synchronicity a focal point on the pathway during our life experiences?

    Bird Droppings September 24, 2025 Is synchronicity a focal point on the pathway during our life experiences? Every morning, if possible, I look for a sunrise, driving out or walking depending on where I am at the time. In the past ten years, I have only missed a few. Today, the sky was beautiful, and…

  • I was listening to the stillness of the morning and the sunrise, and sometimes, we need a window rather than a mirror.

    Bird Droppings September 23, 2025I was listening to the stillness of the morning and the sunrise, and sometimes, we need a window rather than a mirror. I was driving alone this morning, as I do often, trying to get a few photos of the sunrise. Today, it was a beautiful day. The ambient temperature is…

  • Listening to a five-note flute and thinking about friends and the word normal

    Bird Droppings September 22, 2025 Listening to a five-note flute and thinking about friends and the word normal I find it hard to believe it is fall, although you can feel it in the air. The chill perhaps got me thinking back about eight years ago, I was fishing with my grandson at the Atlanta…

  • Trust and how we have such a hard time with it

    Bird Droppings  September 21, 2025Trust and how we have such a hard time with it So many special events coming up, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and more “possible” rain to end this dry spell, and best of all, three more weeks till fall break. If I were to go out and cut down a tree, I wonder…

  • Should children be left behind, or do we need a supply of energy drinks in the teachers’ lounge?

    Bird Droppings September 18, 2025 Should children be left behind, or do we need a supply of energy drinks in the teachers’ lounge? “I believe that our own experience instructs us that the secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall…

  • Why are we not seeking peace?

    Bird Droppings September 17, 2025Why are we not seeking peace? “In this week of great destruction, we must each choose what road we are to walk and live. The road of destruction is war; it has always been so. The road of creation is deeper and more complicated; it has always involved forgiveness, love, light,…

  • Solitude is within one’s soul and heart.

    Bird Droppings September 16, 2025 Solitude is within one’s soul and heart. On most mornings, I venture out to take photos of the sunrise animals I encounter and old buildings I find along the way. I write about synchronicity daily and often comment on the events in my life that are synchronous. This morning, my…

  • A chill in the air but not in the heart, thank you Maya Angelou

    Bird Droppings September 15, 2025 A chill in the air but not in the heart, thank you Maya Angelou For several days the now we have been balancing between warm and cold weather in the early mornings which still is too cold for the crickets and tree frogs who need an ambient temperature a bit…

  • Just an observation, or am I seeing something totally different than you 

    Bird Droppings September 14, 2025Just an observation, or am I seeing something totally different than you  “I am that I am”. I read that somewhere many years ago, a simple definition of someone. As I look at its simplicity, are we not all who we are? I grew up in a middle-class family first in…

  • Walking and listening among the Cotton Woods

    Bird Droppings September 10. 2025 Walking and listening among the Cotton Woods I walked outside earlier, as I do many mornings, listening, observing, trying to understand this reality I am walking about within. The sky was brilliant this morning, with a slight haze settling over the lake and the cornfield and a few visible clouds.…
