Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.

And I entered the Haven of Rest. CHORUS I've anchored … Continue reading #270: The Haven of Rest
Spontaneous
An accidental comment passed through my brain today, and it picked up a hitchhiker. I am trying to remember a quote that it brought to mind. I have just the Gestalt of it, a paraphrase.

Sabbatical: change but not rest
Today we take another look at the previous week, but from the perspective of the self proclaimed sabbatical. On Mondays I discussed my fitness progress from a physical perspective. The sabbatical update report could be considered similarly a progress report from a mental emotional well-being status.
