It is Tuesday morning on June 6th, 2017. It is a gray and foggy morning and just now I hear the garbage truck slowly making its way down the street. Then I hear the roar of its engine and squeaking of its breaks I am startled for a split second thinking if I have put…… Continue reading Journal entry – 6.6.2017

Journal Entry – 5.26.2017
It is 4:41 AM on May 26th, 2017. Today is my 40th birthday. I awoke at 3:50 AM and have completed all my morning rituals: I’ve drank a shot of wheatgrass, put away the dry dishes and washed the dirty ones, set the coffee, meditated and now it is time for a journal entry. I’ve…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 5.26.2017

Tomorrow is my 40th birthday. As I’ve said before I’ve felt like I’ve already reached 40 for a couple of months now but tomorrow it is for real. Turning 40 reminds me of two things my parents said.

This is normal for an Account Manager because there is always the fear of losing accounts, of management restructuring yet…… Continue reading Journal Entry 5.10.2017
Journal Entry – 5.8.2017
It is 5:56 AM on Monday, May 8th. It is a little later than I’m used to for a blog post; the household is going to wake up in about thirty minutes so I don’t have too much time. The weekend went quickly. Friday was Cinco de Mayo but we stayed in and did nothing…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 5.8.2017
つみきのいえ (The House of Small Cubes) – ‘One Life’ and the brevity of life
Last night I saw the short film つみきのいえ, ‘The House of Small Cubes.’ It is of an old man whose village has flooded over may years and so he continually must build another level to his house to stay above water. In the middle of every cube is a trap door leading to the lower,…… Continue reading つみきのいえ (The House of Small Cubes) – ‘One Life’ and the brevity of life
