I don't necessarily need a voice to help along a feeling or accompany my already natural emotions. A musician can take me on a journey without words. I instill my own directive as the music lays the breezes onto my moving body and mind.
The bike ride home was beautiful today. It shook the...
Alarms, schedules, meetings, leaving, going, maps, planning, practices, routines, time management. I am really good at these things.
But I have these very spiritual in-between moments. When I just get to look out the window and be amazed.
It's been a day.
My son and I did some heavy lifting early this morning to get some older stuff to goodwill.
We all went to a Pet parade
My son and I talked for about an hour. He convinced me to change my mind on something that was important to him. He expressed himself clearly and from the...
I have lived and been alone. I have had relationships fail. I have a relationship that is a success at this moment. Prior to this current relationship I had thought about what an ideal person should be in my relationship.
As I sat with a friend in a cafe in my 20's, we batted around this...
"personal record"
My daughter has been training regularly with me in running. She has always run with me but mainly as an inconsistent activity that supplemented another team sport. That changed this summer.
She asked to do some trail races with me I told her it is a "work up to" it process...
How do you identify? It was an odd question. One that I hadn't contemplated or been asked before. I said, I identify as a masculine heterosexual male.
Such is the frank and open, deep conversation, that gets you somewhere. As I sit for the morning with a transgender woman and transgender man. I...
Oh how quickly we must be able to adapt and change to the things that happen. We can either think, oh god another thing to pull at me or be thankful that we have the opportunity to change directions.
I put my racing on hold the first half of the year to focus on one of our a children's sports...
It's the way she looks at me. I can see her viewing me as I interact with our kids. Doing something with them, sharing something with them, teaching them something, listening to them explain something about themselves to me. I notice her in her un-worded look of approval of who I am. But the...
I will decay. I don't know when. But I am fully aware of the time I have spent and the unknown time ahead. I have had a relatively easy physical time with life. Mortality, means to me I only have today. Did I serve the people around me? Did I reach out to a person in need of something I could...
Malaysia exploring, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba, relaxing. I think my kids are super cool. I am so very grateful, that as a father, I can give them this.
Hanging with my daughter in the late afternoon, we were stretching in the workout room. She started talking to me about a video trailer she saw on you tube for the documentary type movie, "Girl Model". I watched the trailer with her and I told her it might be a good movie for us to watch...
Sunday afternoon, I got home and showered off the bike ride, I mentioned to my wife we should head out for early dinner. I thought of a place called Seal Rock Inn near sutro baths in SF. I don't know why it popped into my head but we ate there about 15 years ago. I also knew there was some...
But somehow still alive.
Hey, this is about my heart. I study it, from its resting point,to the upper limits. This is a physical endeavor. As I experience real pain, there's no way to lessen the suffering, it is pain and it hurts. It is a physical activity that makes you feel invigorated as...
We were spending the day at the tech museum in downtown San Jose and my son and I decided to step outside and take a walk around. We got about four blocks and then we ran into a street fair so we cruised on in. Down a side street, we saw a small group of people and a boxing style ring. As we...
Tuesday, I was talking to my daughter in the morning before school. I was complimenting her on her hair as she had twisted and wrapped it to look so beautiful. She looked at me, as if not requiring the accolade for satisfaction. She has wonderfully wavy hair and it hangs with such effortless...
You have to keep it light. To keep my afternoons free for my wife and kids I am often out of the house before they even wake up. I get a good morning text accompanied with older pics of us and the kids most mornings. This is a typical exchange. I always get a giggle of what a twenty year...
Life and my postings. Well, I don't want to make it seem easy. I don't believe life is easy. The older I become, it requires more tact and presence than ever before. Compounding in complexity and taking me to new places around every corner. It takes me a tremendous conscious effort to steer...
My son is my baby. He is the youngest and he was always the most affectionate. As parents, by the time the second child comes, you are so much more relaxed. He is the bug watcher, the dirt digger and an the emotional Titan. Although I am a sports style person, I have not pushed any particular...
I looked to my daughter. She was just in front of me. My wife and son were a little ahead off us. A coastal breeze swept passed us, nudging us along with a gentle push. As we traversed the boulders in our path I said to her, "it feels like a dream when I'm with you guys". She stopped and looked...
