REALITY?: Dehelling
That’s de-helling. Like Pharoah relented before Moses, I have come around to the good side of Christian thinking–doing good for its own sake. Well, except for the benefit of that do-good feeling. We don’t do anything totally without thought of … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Hell
Realizing that I have indeed stated here clearly my doubt in the existence of a Hell, let me just say that I would probably LIKE to believe in one right now, and if I did, I have already prepared a … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Right to Free Speech
Today I am going to make a concentrated effort to be politically incorrect. This shouldn’t be too hard for me, as I am a baby boomer (there, that’s one—or it should be; age discrimination labeling). Since my frameshop is next … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: The Hunter
The hunter smells the coming of Spring, feels it in every joint of his frame. Time to shed his camouflage of dusty brown and salty white that served so well for the winter’s prowl. Really must take Greenie into the … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Spinning – Out of Control
When did I turn from mellow marshmallow and halfway decent person into a pompous ass? Sincere apologies to any I may have offended in my posts of late. I shall try to be better behaved and more considerate. Continue reading

REALITY?: My Rock!
Doing 50 mph on Route 118 to Goshen yesterday, I almost pulled a screeching U-ee when I spotted the rocks. Long-time readers of Spinning will recall, but I’ll just throw a brief summary here of my interest in finding a … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Diversity
My only fear in mixing cultures and blending them together too smoothly is the loss of some of our finest points of diversity—particularly in the area of food. With St. Patrick’s day upon us, while I’m sure I’ve both Americanized … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Cook! Bake!
This is a typical-woman thing to do, and I don’t care who hears me say it: Why do women still believe that cooking and baking will cure everything from the common cold to cancer, and even beyond? Sneeze, and we’ll … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: The Devil is Real
Just realized how hard and heavy I’ve been hit with what I’ve come to term my “devils” lately, and it seems to be more than coincidence, or perhaps I’ve simply adopted them by way of explanation. They’ve shown up in … Continue reading

REALITY?: Literal Travel
I’m back and feeling better for a couple days of traveling. And oh, the places I have been! I’ve been running back and forth between England and Malaysia, my Land Rover stuffed with my belongings, and determined to bring me … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE: Atwood Interview
Just a few posts ago I spoke of odd coincidences. Today, another: Shortly after receiving an e-mail from a fellow Narrativer asking my horoscope sign, I picked up the mail and thumbed through the Writer’s Digest after happily seeing Margaret … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Vestal Virgin and Communion
The first man that I ever did lie beneath looked like Waylon Jennings; hardened by experience and softened by knowledge, an artist and a musician. I made him draw a penis because I could not understand how a simple snip … Continue reading Continue reading
