Looking on a morning in a direction

Bird Droppings January 23, 2011 Looking on a morning in a direction “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 and newness including children and…

Sometimes I wonder what it is all about.

Bird Droppings January 21, 2011 Sometimes I wonder what it is we are about. I started working with a small group of gifted students yesterday getting ready for the AP psychology exam in May. As I talked with them a question I posed as we talked was what motivates them to want to learn, to…

Trying to find a way back to normal

Bird Droppings January 18-20, 2011 Trying to find a way back to normal “Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, we’re finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio. Gotta get down to it soldiers are cutting us down should have been done long ago. What if you knew her and…

Bird Droppings January 14, 2011 Jumping in rain puddles It has been a week of many happenings within our society and within the local community.

Heroism and humility are spelled the same

Bird Droppings January 13, 2011 Heroism and humility are spelled the same Even though I am one of the worst spellers in this local area I know heroism and humility are technically spelled differently.

Reflection is a needed piece in our puzzle of humanity

Bird Droppings January 10-12, 2011 Reflection is a needed piece in our puzzle of humanity “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.

Mountians offer a more clear view

Bird Droppings January 6-7, 2011 Mountains offer a more clear view “I have a pretty fair education, but I would hate to be turned loose in these mountains right now and be told to put food in my belly, clothing on my body, shelter over my head, and provide protection from my enemies, both two…

Being a wise guy

Bird Droppings January 5, 2011 Being a wise guy “Wisdom is like electricity.
