Be Here Now–good pandemic advice from Baba Ram Dass

Be Here Now–good pandemic advice from Baba Ram Dass

But being in the present moment, letting go of the past and future, has always been challenging to me—until now, in the age of COVID-19. Over… [Read More]

Sunny and 75: a poem about my cheery outlook on life

Celebrating Animals at Easter

This Easter Sunday, daffodils are blooming in the back yard where we buried our golden retriever Lucky in early autumn a few years ago. I planted his grave with daffodils, crocuses and hyacinths, and a couple of years later, we buried our cat Beep beside him. A decade or two from now, we’ll probably have… [Read More]
