This is my personal site, the place I used to cache my articles, my poetry and settle in to think about what really matters. For me that's pretty simple. My children matter. Knowing they are well and doing right is one of the things which warms me all the way down to the core.
Doing the right thing is not always easy. In fact, sometimes is seems nearly impossible, given the world we live in today. But I firmly believe if we keep pushing the Rock Up the Hill eventually we will arrive, together, in a world worth every tear, every struggle, and all the costs.
When things are not working for me I remember the advice of an old friend who told me to take a step back, consider the facts, and reassess the tools and options. I have found this to be a useful exercise. Sometimes the solution depends on better information and the world is full of things unknown so there is no reason for anyone to be bored. I keep that in mind as I write, survive, and make afternoon tea.
