It was a vivid, harsh, and empowering awakening. I was 19 and doing a year of service with AmeriCorps when I first read Taylor Branch’s Pulitzer Prizie winning biopic. Parting The Waters: America in the King Years. The book itself is a tome to the epic of the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King’s rise to the national stage through avid politicking, negotiation, power-brokering, and perseverance through the pinnacle years of the civil rights movement. And so, it was with a start, and a pinch of a...

Posts tagged cancer battle. The Fragility of It All. We’re want to wax and wane nostalgic today and tomorrow; year in and year out. These are good habits. In a year of apocalyptic coiling–from end of the world motif's to fiscal cliffs, a billion dollar presidential campaign and the tearing sadness of lost lives–this year more than most has brought the fundamental fact in sharp relief: life is fragile. And so it goes. And, it’s a terrible and inaccurate cliche to call such an experience a gift, but ...

And the old man said, plain as he could, ‘Just try to live your story, and trust it will change the world enough…’. But the young man said, “but I’m perplexed—I feel so charmed by humble beginnings and their vast openness. I’m caught up in endings and their relentless unfolding. Presence is shifted through the process of dinging my way to and from the past and into future time. It’s exhausting.”. Ldquo;But, …”. May 10th, 2014. Blog comments powered by Disqus.

Posts tagged Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Shout it from the roof-tops! And then, just-like-that, we weren’t. Little Hodgy (Part II) showed up on our doorstep. But, mostly, we muted our broadcast. And, to no great surprise and with no ill will, people moved on. Devout followers of the Thunder Stealer’s exploits had had their fill. Privy to the details, they accepted the good news as final, and understandably tuned out. It happens. Life twirls and unfolds at such pace these days. It reminds us that dependin...And, ...

Friday, October 31, 2014. I continue to mortify my children. Yes, I admit it. I was one of those mothers. The kind of mother that mortified their children. I chose to hand out pretzels instead of sugar on Halloween. I thought I was doing the right thing. Or I would give out stickers or pennies and my poor children were mortified. After all, why do we assume that an addictive, mood altering, mind altering drug is good for our children in massive quantities? So what am I doing for Halloween? What Can a Hom...
