May 10, 2010

Yesterday we threw a 45th wedding anniversary party for my parents.  Mom and Dad didn’t want a huge deal, as they really wanted it to be a night to spend time with a small circle of long time,  life long friends.   The four of us (myself and Anna, my sister and her husband) became the [...]

When we become aware that we do not have to escape our pains, but [...]

The Box

March 20, 2010

February 17, 2010

The house lights are dimmed.  The introduction video has been played.  The band has walked on stage to take their places to the gentle applause from the audience.  I start my walk from the green room to the stage.
10 steps from the stage.
“Why am I doing this?  Am I crazy?”
