Strange Coincidence

I’ve been hesitant to share this photo for a while, I’m not sure why…just have. But anyhow, I thought I’d share the story behind it and the somewhat odd coincidences that go along with it. Well, first of all, the man in the picture is Fred Tornow and he is standing in front of myContinue reading “Strange Coincidence”

Graceful

I saw these seagulls flying around the other day…swooping down and grabbing small pieces of bread that someone had thrown on the street. They seemed so graceful and at peace; it was a sort of aerial dance. It reminded me of this following passage (which I have often found inspiring):  “Therefore I tell you, doContinue reading “Graceful”

The War Prayer, by Mark Twain (and a few other quotes)

To read a bit about the background of Mark Twain’s War Prayer, click here.  You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.Jesus the Christ (Matthew 5:43-44) Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be pure,Continue reading “The War Prayer, by Mark Twain (and a few other quotes)”

A Message of Hope

Ok, firstly, I found this short movie (25 minutes) to be extremely moving and inspiring. It may be a bit too “new age-y” for some, but if you have an open mind (obvious pun) I recommend you watch it. It’s a film about meditation and our collective consciousness and how everything we do individually effectsContinue reading “A Message of Hope”

>Floral Beauty (despite the cold weather)

> This time of year when I see flowers poking up through the still-brown leaves and other debris from winter they look especially beautiful to me…almost illuminated against their drab backdrop. I snapped a few closeups today of flowers growing in my neighbor’s front yard. The two below I find particularly interesting…I didn’t realize itContinue reading “>Floral Beauty (despite the cold weather)”

>Ezekiel Bread…my interpretation

> I’ve posted recipes for this bread–or variations of it–in the past on numerous occasions, but the two most popular are here and here. Those two posts, in fact, draw the largest amount of visitors to this blog everyday (through search engines, I imagine). Yup, I can carry things on my bike until I’m blueContinue reading “>Ezekiel Bread…my interpretation”

Pilgrimage

OK, firstly this was not an actual pilgrimage (just thought I’d get your attention), but more of a long ride on the Mundo through South Buffalo to Lackawanna, NY with the destination of a local Basilica and Shrine. It was a beautiful day, albeit a bit chilly, and I felt like I needed some exerciseContinue reading “Pilgrimage”

>Spring…and the newness it brings

> Amazing isn’t it? I think so. As I was walking the Mundo up the plank of gratefulness today I saw these shoots pushing up in front of the porch. They’re a type of day-lily that were in my front yard when I bought the house. Who knows how long they were here before IContinue reading “>Spring…and the newness it brings”

>Anyone Can Practice Yoga

>It may come to a surprise to some that I practice Yoga (then again, maybe not)..I don’t do it regularly but sporadically. But when I do I often wonder why I don’t do it every day…it makes me feel good…physically and emotionally (especially when followed by meditation). It is, in fact, yoga and positive thoughtContinue reading “>Anyone Can Practice Yoga”
