  • Whay are we missing Creativity

    Bird Droppings October 10, 2010 Why are we missing Creativity? This was another quiet morning as I wandered out a bit too chilly for crickets and frogs although later in the day several tree frogs visited around the house. The air was still not a breeze as I sat in my old wicker rocking chair…

  • It is all connected and intertwined

    Bird Droppings October 9, 2010 It is all connected and intertwined As I thought about the Sydney J. Harris passage below and walked out to a quiet spot where I meditate something hit me.

  • Its about random acts of kindness

    Bird Droppings October 8, 2010 It is about random acts of kindness I was a bit under the weather when I got up this morning and my faithful dog decided I did not need sleep as well although she was quick and wanted right back in the house. It was close enough to three o’clock…

    Bird Droppings October 6, 2010 What if Truth prevailed I started my morning as I do so many mornings walking out into the stillness of the hour but today with a chill in the air all was silent. Air conditioners busy through one of the hottest summers I have lived in Georgia now nearly forty…

    Bird Droppings October 5, 2010 Searching deep within ourselves “If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” Mary Engelbreit I am very much a creature of routine of habit and when my daily path is altered I have occasion to be amiss.

  • Should Children be left behind

    Bird Droppings October 4, 2010 Should children be left behind? “I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood, when blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud. I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form. ‘Come in’ she said ‘I’ll give you shelter from the storm’.” Bob…

  • Intuition

    Bird Droppings October 3, 2010 Intuition “Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.” Edwin Hubbel Chapin As I was discussing the final hours of a Friday afternoon with several friends a thought hit me as to why some teachers can do more than others. Why some teachers succeed…

  • Wondering why on a Friday Morning

    Bird Droppings October 1, 2010 Wondering why on a Friday morning “I think the most important issue we have as a people is what we started, and that is to begin to trust our own thinking again and believe in ourselves enough to think that we can articulate our own vision of the future and…
