Now that we have AI, do we really need God?
All knowledge is ours. What more do we need?
In the anxious of always, this
Before we arise, we are delivered into the new day. How can it be? And yet…
How do you expand a mind?
It’s amazing what comes up at the ballpark when all the moments past come flooding back …
Creative Juices
Where do creative juices come from? This is my question as I plod along a very familiar path. Foot by ever-loving foot, sneaker meets pavement. The feet move slower than molasses but the brain is another story. Literally. My brain whirrs with ideas, putting things together that I never thought knew each other. Suggesting solutions. […]
What gets your attention?
We all notice, don’t we? The thing that wasn’t there before. The thing that isn’t but was. The thing that’s different from one image to the next. Heck, that’s a puzzle I loved to do as a kid! Find all 10! Yes, if we’re paying even the slightest attention, we notice when something has changed, […]

Or with just plain filler. […]

Poetic Justice … you can take it with you
Journalism reports yesterday’s news. Like the weather, it needs no re-cap. No sense keeping that around. Fiction tells a good story.
