While nirvana is right here, right now, hell is always lurking just in the shadows.

A big roadside crow made me slow the rental car, with no traffic in either direction, the tragic story unfolded quickly. An unsuspecting vehicle brought death to someone’s horse.

The human/animal bond is ancient, and strong as a steel cable.

Shuddered to picture the scene when the Family came home and that cable broke.

Wasn’t joking yesterday when I said nirvana is right here, right now. Take a few deep breaths, preferably outdoors, and it will come to you.

Being naturally curious…sure enough…

Most, if not all, things in life have meaning. I think we’re just too busy to notice or care.

Ultimately, nirvana is right here, right now, in this present moment.

Life is good.

Smells the same in Tennessee as in Pennsylvania.

Few things smell more like God than a grassy field.

What does God smell like to you?
