A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. Lady, I need two suns. Children today face one horror after another in our world. Poverty, abuse, terrorism, violence, homelessness, war, hunger. The list goes on. Too many children are left in the shadows caused by these crimes and made invisible by our reluctance to face the responsibility of society to care for the weakest among us. Our children need light but we turn away our eyes. I choose the light. You will not put me in the dark.

They are on the postcards and the 50Rand bill, after all. But they aren’t where they’re supposed to be. Evening of the gift shop incident. And despite having a healthier sense of caution, I don’t actually feel. Where are the dirt roads and women with baskets on their heads and lions ready to eat me? It doesn’t...

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. A woman was robbed on the subway tonight. A woman was robbed on the subway tonight. I’ve seldom felt so ineffectual. That’s how the story always begins, isn’t it? But I always thought…hoped…that I could think or move faster. I couldn’t. I heard the yell behind me, “HEY! I put it together. I hadn’t even moved. I didn’t yell after him. I didn’t stick my foot or bag out to trip him. I didn’t do anything but watch. We waited. I walked up ...

detour scenery: I choose to make it so
http://detourscenery.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-choose-to-make-it-so.html
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. I choose to make it so. In the infinity of life where I am,. All is perfect, whole, and complete. I see any resistance patterns within me. Only as something else to release. They have no power over me. I am the power in the world. I flow with the changes taking place in my life as best I can. I approve of myself and the way I am changing. I am doing the best I can. Each day gets easier. I rejoice that I am in the rhythm and flow.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. Merry Christmas to All! A very happy Christmas to all! I woke early this morning, I regret to admit, for the purpose of watching a television show! I know, I know, not very Christmas-y of me. But it’s a really good show, if you must know (Doctor Who…go check it out! Is exactly the same as My Country ‘Tis of Thee. I mean, I know we were once a colony and all, but how did I miss that connection before? As I listened to Queen Elizabeth shari...

detour scenery: Little big world and Me
http://detourscenery.blogspot.com/2011/03/little-big-world-and-me.html
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. Little big world and Me. Sometimes it’s completely overwhelming to contemplate that while I’m sitting here drinking my coffee, going to school, taking a walk in the park, people are fighting and dying and protesting and starving in other parts of the world. How came there to be such disparity in such a small little world? More importantly, what can I do? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What opportunities might pass us by?

To anyone who thinks terrorism exists elsewhere or originates outside the lines of the United States of America – read this. And know this is not the first time, nor will it be the last.
