This is it! The sign is older than Kenny Loggins’ parents and has a unique history. It has been “it” many times and in many places. Seth Jarvis was looking Kindergarten in the eye when The Hat story began. I’m a Bronx boy who is all in for the Hurricanes. In a sports world full […]
When I first wrote about this Path eight years ago, I intended to give words to the role fathers play, responsibilities that are often unspoken, and actions hard to describe. Deeper still, what happens when we are around and present…and when we are not. Mothers and fathers form the foundation of life and this seems […]
When I hear the sad tones of someone feeling lonely in a crowd, the ache is not contained in space. It flows and flutters and pulls at heartstrings all around. When I hear the elderly justify their actions with, “I’ve been here long enough to do or say whatever I want,” I wonder who didn’t […]
I’ve taken time away from posting to work on some projects that have been calling for a while. In the process, I’ve stepped back from all social media—except the ones my wife has to share. The distance has provided enough space to find my place in the back quarter (hopefully) of life, and to see […]
A picture is worth…a thousand memories. Well, maybe not “selfies.” They’ve become the concert ticket, postcard, scorecard, deli menu, and other trinkets and memorabilia we’d put in the underwear drawer for reminiscing when laundry was way behind schedule. A thousand selfies are worth one or two words. Or one question: “Didn’t we just do this?” […]
Scrolling through a particular scientist’s social media (Yes, it was a slow day) I came to an amazing photo of space, a slice of the universe featuring our galaxy among many. Many! Even on a tiny screen, the immensity captured me and inspired a deep sense of awe. When I was a kid, I wanted […]
A thought runs through us, through generations, and through time. Something better. When you drill deep down, through layers of stress, and making a living, you come to a raw and universal want that people have for themselves, and parents have for their children. Something better. This is not encapsulated in time, or a cultural […]
(Originally posted on Above the Field of Play) What would you want to stop, start, or improve in the year to come? As the new year rings in, these thoughts fill the air everywhere. From a recent poll, here’s what Forbes Health reports as the most common resolutions for 2024: What about you? I will […]
When I was five years old, a boy with a blue blanket spoke about the meaning of Christmas on center stage in an empty school auditorium. I was so young at the time, and it was a TV Christmas special*, but I remember the stillness of the moment, the curiosity I felt, and how I […]
For Priscilla and RW… The spirit of Christmas is unmatched by any shiny objects, regardless of the constant selling of the season. The spirit is in the heart and soul, given and uplifting without expectation or conditions. The spirit simply is. With stars brightly shining we look up to find what is always within… Once […]
