What do you want me to do for you?
There was a blind beggar sitting by the roadside, or so the story goes, when Jesus and his disciples were passing by on their way out of Jericho. Of course, the blind man did not know who was passing by, only that there was a commotion. But when he heard that the stir was about […]
The key to 2020 Vision is in View
The key to a 2020 vision for humanity has been designed into how we see.
Beyond the Clearing Where Life Gets Real
Life is pristine through my close-up lenses. My hand-writing, clear and crisp, the grain of my table, inviting, the lines of the photo, smile. All, brush strokes of the master. They draw me into the world on the page that takes me far away to that delightful Narnia; Where children and creatures, wardrobes and weather, and a […]
What they need, not what we have, is what is needed
Give us a few links and we’ll complete the chain. Sketch a few shapes and we’ll fill in the picture. Hum a few bars and we’ll finish the song. Humans are designed to add the details so the story comes clearer. Even if it’s not the real story. Even if it’s not the right song or the intended picture. […]
Looking at life through reading glasses
Opened the front door to let the dog in and I took a deep breath of the fresh air. Ahhh. Just look at… Ugh. I forgot I had my reading glasses on. The distance is a muddle of light and color. One thing indistinguishable from another. But up close, now that I can see clear as […]
Looking for truth through fallible eyes
See is believing, right? Well, yes and no. I was talking with an elderly man who has been colorblind since, well, at least the 10th grade. That’s when they discovered it. When they showed his class the disk with the pixels and everyone else saw 9. He saw 27. He’s red-green colorblind which is, apparently, the […]
Thank God for Windex
How does the gunk get on the INSIDE of my windshield? I know about acid rain and air pollution. I get that the trees dispense pollen and the birds do occasionally poop mid flight. And of course there are the unfortunate bugs that come to their final resting place on the windshield of my car. […]
Prayers through the beveled glass
I get up every weekday morning with my high schooler who has to catch the bus at a ridiculouosly early hour for a kid who just turned 16. Make no mistake, there is not deep conversation, nor are there fond expressions of love and care. No. It’s more of a presence thing. A keep-you-company-while-you-try-to-force-down-some-breakfast thing. But the […]
Seeing, Only Deeper
I’m just interested in stuff. In people. In things. In how things work. In how people work. In what I see and hear. What I read and find out. I guess you could call me naturally inquisitive. And what I find out, I write down. I take note (s). This is funny because I don’t see […]
Out of Sight Insight
I am not particularly proud to admit this but…out of sight, out of mind. This may not guide my whole life, but it certainly takes a very strong hold. My golden retriever (of photo fame) lies whining just outside the door to my office. I can see her as well as hear her. I feel […]
