loving the mystery

  Last Thursday, I drove by a house that almost took my breath away. I parked my car and walked down the old tree-lined street, from the house to downtown Burlington, imagining what it would be like to call this home. I’ve been looking at houses around the area for several years, but none have…

Don’t bug me

I saw this pair of insects on the screen door last week.  At that moment, I'd been wondering if there was anything more that I should be doing about a certain situation in my life; was I missing some step that I should be taking? Was there anything that I should be doing that I'd…

Slowing myself down: Setting in motion the creative forces of the Universe
