StreetLights On A Saturday Night: Heart of Gold
June 14, 2020 The sun came up today, as it did yesterday and will again tomorrow. We have faith in that. It is a reliable constant that has never failed us. It’s Sunday in DFW. It is getting hot. As I sit here in my car, I notice the life around me. Lots of cars…

StreetLights June 9, 2018
This post is from June 9th, 2018. So, my friends, it fails to account for the crazy shit we are dealing with today. Now more than ever, we must be kinder to each other. We must make kindness a conscious effort with every interaction. We are all connected… Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. These are…

StreetLights On A SaturdayNight: Entropy And The Pursuit Of Happiness
Entropy and the Pursuit of Happiness 1230pm. March 18, 2019 Under the clouds it looks like 830pm. Gray. Storm’s rollin’ in. Behind the wheel again. Feels good. Haven’t driven since before the stent went in. Just a short trip. Just down the road. It’s nice to be on the move again. I can’t recall precisely…

A Horse With No Name
A Horse With No Name. On the first part of the journey… We have been sheltering in place, with a few store runs here and there, since March 18th. Like many of you, I was anxious. How would we pay the bills? What will happen with the kids and school? Just how bad will it…

Slightly updated this memory from 2018 for relevance to our current conditions. April 13, 2020 The pandemic which has changed our world is not nearly done. As we brace for what is next, many of us do so alone. Depression must also be a condition/symptom/consequence of Covid-19. For my own experience, driving Uber and Lyft,…

StreetLights On A Saturday Night
The Wisdom Of Downton Abbey Well, here we are, 2020. Look how far we’ve come in the last 100 years! Actually… maybe you are better off not looking. A few months ago, just before I took off for my neck surgery, I gave Andrew and Jennifer a ride home from the airport. They live in…

StreetLights On A Saturday Night
Lost in the woods I took a walk today. The sun was out. Blue sky, pillowy clouds and blossoms on the trees. I love trees. I always find them calming and restorative, like natural anti-anxiety medicine. It was during this walk I found the right perspective again. I have been angry this week. I have…

Streetlights on a Saturday night
Again, we need more kindness and love. Too much hate. The pressure becomes to great. And then, it is just too late. The darkest place in the universe is deep inside one’s own troubled soul. For all my bipolar and depressive brothers and sisters. Written in October 2018 with love for those we lost. I…

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for…
Even with a profound sense of purpose, I wonder, I ache, I question. Even with this incredible sense of joy and peace, I hurt, I cry. Even with God’s steady hand, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. But I now know, that is an eternal search. And, that is how it is supposed…
