Modeling Morality, Or….Get Off Your Butt, Or Don’t, and Do Something, Or Don’t | Life Is Bigger

Rising Above The Daily Grind. Modeling Morality, Or….Get Off Your Butt, Or Don’t, and Do Something, Or Don’t. Moral is not a stand-alone adjective. It is not a badge that you can wear. It is not a self-diagnosis, not a self-portrait that you can pull down from the wall and show off to the world, saying Oh, here, look at me this is what a good person I am! And it is definitely. Make the world a better place for someone, somewhere, every single moment of every single day. How prideful is it, how pompous, t...

It’s Been Awhile, Or….Just Thinkin’ | Life Is Bigger
https://gypsyjonga.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/its-been-awhile-or-just-thinkin
Rising Above The Daily Grind. It’s Been Awhile, Or….Just Thinkin’. I’ve had to make some changes, set some priorities, move some stuff on back and some other stuff up front. My body keeps acting like it’s old. I gotta give it some space. On the other hand, my coworkers thought I was a decade younger than I am. The preservatives must be working. Pass the bottle on down one more time. Will my kids know that I am a person who also chases rainbows? It’s hard to write for fun when you write for a living.

It’s Been Awhile, Or…What I Think I Know | Life Is Bigger
https://gypsyjonga.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/its-been-awhile-or-what-i-think-i-know
Rising Above The Daily Grind. It’s Been Awhile, Or…What I Think I Know. When we know something and rest in that knowing we limit our vision. We will only see what our knowing will allow us to see. In this way experience can be our enemy. Zoketsu Norman Fischer (I found this quote at Brad Warner’s Hardore Zen blog. Anyway, here are some things I think I know (and hope they’re so):. Nothing is ever as good or as bad as you think it will be. Horse grooming can be a Tea Ceremony. Give every chance you get.

Poem for Dr. Watson, Or….Remember | Life Is Bigger
https://gypsyjonga.wordpress.com/2013/07/31/poem-for-dr-watson-or-remember
Rising Above The Daily Grind. Poem for Dr. Watson, Or….Remember. A poem for Dr. Watson, my Lit teacher at Nash Community College, who is retiring…. Yes, I will remember you,. And in my prayers will keep you,. For I know the gifts you ardently shared. In knowledge, care, and learned discourse,. Launched my drifting craft onto a different course,. Than any channel, on my own, I would have dared…. And when our prayers meld in the ears of heaven,. May our joys be increased, and our hardships be leavened.
