The View From Here

From the Pemaquid Point Light House back in October when my birth mother brought my mother to visit.

Winter Solstice

We celebrate the shortest day of the year.

Let the growing season begin in full.

Sunday With Carmen - Love Dance

Thought For The Day

Stop worrying. If you believe in prayer, then there's absolutely no need.

Sunday With Richard - Total Praise

Probably my favorite song to sing in a gospel choir. So simple. So majestic. The altos have the part, but the sopranos bring it home.

Today, my maternal birth family buries their matriarch. The same day 42 years ago that I went to the foster home.

Poetry.

I am with them in spirit.
