——We change once it becomes too painful to remain complacent. There comes a time when we need to stand against injustice. For the past 15 years, democracy has been on the decline globally. I grew up thinking Freedom was easy. The reality is the opposite. Freedom takes commitment, even sacrifice. Do we have the capacity still, or are we going to let freedom fade over the horizon? Nations are waking up. NOW IS THE TIME to stand united against the autocratic oppressor(s) of freedom. Let freedom ring for Ukraine, for us and for all people crying out in this world. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cahq9iMrB8W/?utm_medium=tumblr

…I saw him in the forest, so I sat quietly sat down by the trail. He strolled up, looked me in the eye, approved, struck some poses, called in friends and waved good bye. It was my first time to really see the beauty in full light. https://www.instagram.com/p/CaUhv2rrHxI/?utm_medium=tumblr

…. I finally got some sourdough starter from a friend. I forgot to slice the top. He said it matched my esthetic. He was so right. Well baked, cracked and crusty outside. Nice inside in spite of being a little dense. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYmLalRrJSu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let It Go — Be — Embrace Let It Go was a very popular song several years ago. This past year it was my life. Have I learned anything to take forward? 2021 started full of optimism and plans. I was feeling solid and the virus was getting under control. Yay! Then came the stroke, heart, shoulder, cancer, eye, depression, retirement, decline of social justice, politics and end game on environment. Oh, and COVID cycles. Not yay. But in the midst of all, there were new places, recipes and joys. Yum always helps. I re-embraced old playbooks, “Let Time be God” and “Flow” . Our lives and plans change in a moment. These two years have been a very big time out, but time moves ever forward. I have rested, let my mind settle a bit, accepted my lack of influence on the world and enjoy what is before me. I am far less driven, but I am keenly aware that it is a big new sorting out process. I have learned to savor the moments more. I’m actually enjoying an unhurried process of decluttering. Simply being as new ideas are emerging. I do need some structure: one good thing a day, regular physical activity, studies, sit with my wife, play with my dog, some short and longer projects. I could go on…. but I just wrote some things down…… from experience, that means there is a very good chance they will happen…… Time is God. Time will bring opportunities and more changes. I will flow, being able to change myself and find something satisfying in each day. This year my words are Embrace Being…me. Happy New Year! It will be as good as we make it.

cocktails and dinner came with a view of the crescent moon and Venus over the Acrópolis. Charmed life strikes again. (at Acropolis, Athens Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWgQ7g3pSiY/?utm_medium=tumblr

…. I get asked about my favorite meal. We visited the Acropolis and wandered down to find Greek Stories. Small. Waiter Andrea was super helpful when we said we wanted the most traditional. Oh, he did us right. Great wine, eggplant around cheese, caramelized beef, lamb, and desert and shots on the house. We now are making yogurt and having it with raw honey, fruit and nuts. Love love 💕!
