Feeding Starving People

Feeding Starving People
 
by John Armor 
 
Last Saturday, we did something that was only a small step up from mindless, unskilled labor. I’m glad we did it. We recommend it to everyone else.
 
An enthusiastic lady came to our Rotary meeting a week before. She was a teacher, acting as a volunteer for her church. She asked us [...]

It's difficult - until it isn't

What began as extremely unfussy and obtainable intention – eating better and moving more – has erupted into a full-scale mega-production requiring learning how to cook differently, shopping with new eyes, rearranging schedules, altering relationships, and devising self-inflicting intimidating goals. Building such blockades makes the procedure ridiculously difficult and horribly unpleasant. [...]

All for Art

Today I honor my mother, Jacqueline Rochester, who passed away in her sleep 30 days ago. It has been a sad time, sadder than I anticipated: in theory, I’ve always believed that crossing over is a good thing, a new life, and we who remain earthbound should celebrate the dear departed’s new journey. [Yes, I [...]

What We Can Find In Dreams

 The phone rings at 5am and I jump awake. The mother in me thinks something is wrong with one of my girls. The daughter in me is afraid my mother has gotten sick and is in the hospital. The sleepy person that I am wants to curse out whoever has tricked me out of peaceful [...]

The Future of History

I was never a history buff. I was the kid in high school who got caught napping instead of listening. “So?” I would ask. “Why does this matter?” Now my tweenage daughters ask the same question and I struggle to explain why.

“Because,” I say. And it’s not one of those “Because I said so’s”. It’s [...]

Vacation Lists

My family and I just returned from a fantastic holiday. As soon as I got home I started looking for my countless lists of Things To Do. But that inevitably lead to Things to Avoid. So I have decided to compile lists of Things on Vacation. WAY more fun, and, I am sure, very [...]

Street Story: How We Look at Others

Priceless Reminders

           I’m a pretty sentimental person.  For instance, I have saved every single letter and card my husband has ever given me over our 27-year relationship.  That’s quite a substantial bit of correspondence considering that for most of that first year, we lived 900 miles apart, and I received an average of five pieces of [...]

An African Love Story: When Love came calling (Part One)

She noticed him staring at her through the window. Uncomfortably, she shifted. First on one foot, then the other, as she dizzyingly became aware of his intense scrutiny. Boss lady was coming any time soon and if she found this stranger staring at her through her precious shop windows, she would throw a fit. Suddenly [...]

Western perspective is not culture

Western perspective is not culture

by Tyree Harris

Unhappiness and women - the equation doesn't add up

“No matter how objective you want, or try, to be, every issue you see will be subjective. You carry with you all that has made you the person you are, your gender included.”

So said the professor in my journalism class back at university. In other words, what and who you are will influence how you [...]

The man sitting next to me farted. It was loud. It was also the worse expulsion of body gases I had ever endured. He didn’t say sorry or excuse me. He just looked straight ahead as if the overwhelming odor had not invaded his olfactory senses.

The Gift is Not a Given

The Illusion of Time
Is the essence of one’s existence
For we are born to believe
That we will live forever

The Essence of a Dream
Is that we can achieve
Whatever we strive to obtain
There are no boundaries; only infinity

The Infinity of Love
Allows us to care for many
For time is not the issue
Love is but a passage of our reality

Mother Nature Keeps It Coming.

October 3, 2009

Today was supposed to be the start of an important weekend series, but Mother Nature showed how much that mattered to her by the amount of rain that was dropped from the sky.  We arrived at the ballpark around 11a and the infield looked like a lake.  The grass in the outfield and [...]

Unexpected Off-day.

Today was by far the best day I’ve had in Joliet on the baseball field.  We all reported to Silver Cross Field and were ready to rock at 4p, but due to our lack of pitchers, we participated in a simulated game.  It sounds fancy, but it only means that Jim brings the [...]

This One Thing

Once in a great while you have the privilege of witnessing true, pure, selfless, unconditional love, as our Creator intended it to be, and it totally revolutionizes your understanding and concept of just what real love is. It shakes you back to reality and makes you appreciate what you have with your spouse, as imperfect and sometimes frustrating as it may be. I was fortunate enough to witness this first-hand and I will be forever impacted by [...]

Another Day Of Instruction.

September 23, 2009

The Journey Commences – Part I

“…And the weary stands defeated, overlooking the momentous destruction of peace…

He has been evolving, since the long job started, and as much as I know that the feeling of being settled perhaps is something that might seem a tad boring to him, and yet. He has told me before to remind him when he starts work I would need to reel him back to earth, and yet this time around, his level of satisfaction be it in terms of work or the need to mother-coddle me (which really does not need to exist) and my somewhat dependence on him, seem to all revolve in an ugly circle of mundaneity.

His constant jibbing of his current workplace which he has since forsaken to take up in arms at another firm, which can be akin to my complaints of work prior to this. His need for space which I do acknowledge and try to stay out of the way by heading out with friends. His needs in life which I try to cater, be it to not be disagreeable and sweet as a diabetic sugared rabbit.

It is all a matter of transition, whether it be that I am often coined as illogical which he sweetly coats with words honed at highlighting my talents in most trades (and my failures in them as well – one minute enthusiasm they say) just because I happen to drift off half way through conversations into a deeper form of thought, whilst he ignores much of whatever I say. ‘Let’s sit down and talk’ he says, only to want to come to the point quickly and not to listen to whatsoever I really have to say.

‘Feelings’ it seems are over rated in this district especially when it comes with the term, ‘making a mountain out of a molehill’. And that I stopped, coining my words with a heightened sense of diplomacy. ‘Yes my love’, ‘alright my dear’, and though it has only been a short period of time, he has passed the verdict; one of dredgery and contempt. One of self-righteousness, honed from a well-adjusted lifestyle. Even through valiant efforts, he sees me rather intellectually incapable to follow up to speed with his brainy all-encompassing ways due to his love for books and high-end zest for life.

Money he says is the root to all his problems. Contradictory to mine, where I had thought that coming here was to start a life anew with him, he sees it as if I am a tad bit too clingy. ‘Live life for yourself’ he said, ‘not just laze around and do things that I can do within a day’.

Coming from my part, all I see right now is one of a life less travelled. One of discovery and companionship. A life in pursue of chasing certain dreams. And yet, what is a dream. When the party has waned and the moon hangs high in its stead, where does it all end? Happy or sad; vibrant or fading?

A ‘no sir, yes ma’am’ scenario, and we have got perhaps the perfect script of yet a lengthy and arduous journey of cyclical values. ‘We need some time apart’ he said. And so ends what I think or feel, or desire; and revolution [...]
