just around the river bend
i’ve been hand-writing blog posts. secrets abounding, and projects evolving. life secrets. dream secrets. all the secrets. one of my best friends, mike lawson, told me about how easy it is to give up on an idea if you allow yourself to get credit for it too early into it’s development. he said, ‘as soon […]

checkity-check-check
try not to see yourself in the pathology. i’m pulling out my old books and some new ones as i delve back in to the kind of diabetes research that stimulates my need-to-do-good faculties. reading and reading: remembering not to ruminate to find meaning to seek benefit to stress less to write more. this morning […]
don’t you want somebody to love?
patient and waiting for the chance to ask, a woman in the back stands to say “my patients are asking, ‘why me?’ and i don’t know what to say.” there, right there, i wanted to shift my body weight from my butt to my feet, throw my arms up in the air and say, “EXACTLY!” […]
