Edward J Denning: May 2015
http://betweennowandzen1.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Between Now and Zen. Sunday, 24 May 2015. I never thought I could act this way. And I've got to say that I just don't get it. I don't know where we went wrong. But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back. Gordon Lightfoot from If You Could Read My Mind. Events change us. Sometimes they chew us up and spit us out and sometimes we eat them up. Either way, there is consumption and a change in composition of the Self. Sometimes that path is negotiated alone. A connector, after all is said and done.

Edward J Denning: March 2015
http://betweennowandzen1.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Between Now and Zen. Sunday, 29 March 2015. I was cleaning up yesterday and came across a box I had been avoiding. more or less. People generally don't want to hear what they already know. They want something new. I'll get back to that.). I'll be buying a copy. It's not unusual for me to buy books by people I know. I have one written by one of my English teachers in high school and several written by friends. I have a sneaking suspicion this particular book is going to be a bit disturbing. Saturday, 28 M...

Edward J Denning: February 2015
http://betweennowandzen1.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Between Now and Zen. Sunday, 22 February 2015. I've been told more than once – by well meaning women presumably attempting to repair some undefinable flaw in my overly-simplistic character – to “man up”. I was watching Date Night. Yes, I understand I am generalizing. There are a bunch of generalizations in this post. Just sayin'. What, exactly, does “man up”. In the early days of the Liberation Movement, women such as Helen Gurley Brown, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer. And Susan B. Anthony wanted equ...

Edward J Denning: Steep, Rocky Embankments and Better Reasons
http://betweennowandzen1.blogspot.com/2015/07/steep-rocky-embankments-and-better.html
Between Now and Zen. Sunday, 5 July 2015. Steep, Rocky Embankments and Better Reasons. I'm looking for a farm. of sorts. I made it this far. Rough terrain. My intent, then, is to move back to the country where my heart is already waiting for me. I'm a bit impulsive. Being back in the bush with a broken leg isn't my idea of a good time. I was bruised, strained and lacerated in a few places (with no broken bones) and took the mild hit to my confidence in stride knowing I'll make another attempt in ...It se...

Between Now and Zen. Sunday, 21 December 2014. Turning the Page on Global Warming. Dateline: Sunday, December 21, 2014 at 6:03 PM – Winter is officially here. I'm dreaming about getting the cycle and the kayak out in Spring. Winter is an ideal time to plan an exodus. Not the two week variety. The big one. Belching motorized dog sled. And then there's hurtling at a hundred miles an hour down an iced tube. They call that last one Bobsled. I'm thinking Bob was missing a few ice blocks from his i...Hmm…...

Edward J Denning: Reading
http://betweennowandzen1.blogspot.com/p/books-i.html
Between Now and Zen. These are books I've read which have furthered my perspective and which others may find valuable or, in some cases, just fun to read. Any book that bends my viewpoint, expands my comfort zone or simply makes me wonder about the status quo is worth every penny. Most of these books are still in my collection as they have far too much writing in the margins to pass on. My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless...

Edward J Denning: Hard Wired for We
http://betweennowandzen1.blogspot.com/2015/08/hard-wired-for-we.html
Between Now and Zen. Monday, 3 August 2015. Hard Wired for We. I'm considering going to Taste of The Danforth next weekend with about fifty thousand other people. I'm not much for big crowds and I'm pretty sure I heard the food calling me. Still, it's pretty cool being with a bunch of similar minded people even if it is only about feta cheese and chicken souvlaki. Yes I just admitted I have a big mouth. This group of people have all decided to work on ourselves. within a group dynamic. For the record, Dr...

Edward J Denning: November 2014
http://betweennowandzen1.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Between Now and Zen. Sunday, 23 November 2014. On The Side of the Street With Nowhere to Go. I am lost,. I am lost,. Has anybody seen me,. I am lost,. Oh nothing is forgotten,. Only left behind,. Wherever I am,. She leads me now,. From the album Contact from the Underworld of Redboy. Oh poor pitiful me! The phone calls began; the boss, the city, the towing company, the police, the insurance company. I was a stranger in a strange land. When one of my basic needs is denied by life and the humour of the Uni...

Edward J Denning: January 2015
http://betweennowandzen1.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Between Now and Zen. Thursday, 8 January 2015. The Sun Always Shines On TV. Any time inclement weather rolls through, I always seem to think of the song by A-Ha. Maybe it's a secret wish to be on TV. Of course, if I were on TV I would likely have to look presentable every day. That. Could be a problem. My balance is better than average. As I lay there assessing any damage that I may have inflicted upon my semi-fragile self, I muttered under my breath, “Focus, Dude. Focus.”. But focus wasn't the problem.

Between Now and Zen. Monday, 29 June 2015. How I Be is the Goal. I'm one of those people who, when someone comes to mind, I call them up or send a message for no particular reason out of the blue and say, “Hey! Wanna meet for coffee? Planning in advance generally isn't my strong suit. Yup. I'm one of THOSE. I make people who plan everything to the last detail crazy. on purpose. It's like a contact sport. (I'm laughing my ass off as I write this. Ahhhhh. good times! Really, really, really? I want to be.
