This is a photo of my street about 4pm this evening, just before it became dark. It’s interesting how the color blue is associated with cold…and for a reason, it was (I’m guessing) about 9F. Nonetheless, I find the color beautiful. And there’s really only a short time where it is this color…just as itContinue reading “Blue Dusk”

>Merry Christmas
> bikeforpeace.org A couple things: Firstly, Merry Christmas! Secondly, I have to admit that I am somewhat of a hypocrite by posting this image because I haven’t ridden a bike in two days (but as I stated before…never said I was car-free, just car-lite). I mostly posted it because I liked the image. But whileContinue reading “>Merry Christmas”

>A Christmas Vow
>OK, first a couple of things. I sometimes post with “spiritual overtones,” but rarely overtly religious…this, though, falls under the latter. And while I truly believe that all major religions walk the same path and lead in the same direction I identify myself as a Christian, albeit a progressive Christian. Sometimes I think I amContinue reading “>A Christmas Vow”

As of late (the past few months) myContinue reading “>A New Poll (on Meditation / Contemplative Prayer)”
