  • Foxfire is a name for a fungus glowing in the dark until you wander up Black Rock Mountain.

    Bird Droppings December 4, 2024Foxfire is a name for a fungus glowing in the dark until you wander up Black Rock Mountain. A few weeks back, I was involved in another synchronous adventure, as I am daily. I have been thinking about it ever since. I have been a fan of Carl Jung and the idea…

  • Waiting for a miracle on some occasions can take some time

    Bird Droppings December 2, 2024 Waiting for a miracle on some occasions can take some time I wrote this piece nearly twenty years ago, and it still has a place in my heart. Miracle is a word used often by people of faith. It is an explanation for things that happen with no apparent cause…

  • Perception is often the beginning of the discussion and, for some, the end.

    Bird Droppings December 1, 2024 Perception is often the beginning of the discussion and, for some, the end. A dear friend brought up a conversation with a flat earth believer the other day.

  • Have we sold our souls for a few trinkets, or don’t want to die in Georgia?

    Bird Droppings November 27, 2024 Have we sold our souls for a few trinkets, or don’t want to die in Georgia? Morning is a special time for me; it is always a new beginning. Today, I left the house early; my wife called as she always does, and we talk while she drives to work.…

  • Looking in the direction of my journey in Life to start the morning

    Bird Droppings November 26, 2024Looking in the direction of my journey in Life to start the morning “Beginnings start in the east – from where the sun rises, we begin a new dawn. Each day is a good new day with a fresh beginning, a new start. East is the direction of the physical body…

  • Can we use the word sacred truthfully, or is it purely mythical?

    Bird Droppings November 25, 2024Can we use the word sacred truthfully, or is it purely mythical? “Teachers who do not take their own education seriously, who do not study, who make little effort to keep abreast of events have no moral authority to coordinate the activities of the classroom.” Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of freedom I…

  • Who would have thought that a buffalo snort in the dark could impact me twenty-five years later?

    Bird Droppings November 24, 2024 Who would have thought that a buffalo snort in the dark could impact me twenty-five years later? “Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly…

  • Teaching is constantly climbing up another step, even if it takes a few moments.

    Bird Droppings November 22, 2024 Teaching is constantly climbing up another step, even if it takes a few moments. I got up and went out to see the sunrise this morning. It wasn’t as brilliant as I’d seen, but it was a little bit of pink and orange stretched across the horizon. I drove out…
