Flower Power

Listen on Spotify! Everyone has those chapters in their life that are challenging.  Things seem to be rolling along and the next thing we know a speed bump appears and forces us to slow down and reevaluate our life.  2023 was that year for Adi and me.  Three weeks into the start of the year, my mother passed away at the age of 85.  She lived a good life and by her own admission was ready to pass on to the other side.  She told me the world was just moving too fast for her and she was ready to […]

A Drop of Honeysuckle

A Drop of Honeysuckle

Listen on Spotify Adi and I went for our morning walk today through the park.  This has become somewhat of a ritual for us as we transition to a new phase of our lives.  Our daughter graduates from high school in less than 30 days and I am left eyeing the end of one book of my life while anticipating the turning of the page beginning what I can only conclude would be the final book of my life. I mentioned to Adi recently that I sense that I will have essentially three books of my life:  The first began

The tourists come out during the day pointing their cameras at everything that resembles history and the locals try and sell them every trinket under the sun in order to make a euro. Rome welcomes everyone and knows that she will be standing long after both the tourists and even the locals are long gone. Rome is a survivor. When you have been around as long as Rome there is

Farewell the the Head Witch in Charge

Farewell to the Head Witch in Charge

As we get older, death is supposed to be easier to understand, being a by-product of life itself.  Death is supposed to be less of a surprise as we age, but yet, it still is.  Death still surprises us.  I find myself writing a lot more obituaries lately or maybe the more modern term, Celebration of Life Missives.  More surprising still, each one I write gets harder. I’ve written an obituary for my father, mother, brother, sister, two friends, Adi’s grandparents and now…Adi’s mom, Sheri Lynn Davis.  She passed away Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 11:28 pm after being ill
