Don't Worry

A Well Run Life ·

2019/08/14

Don’t worry The song Don't Worry, Be Happy was written expressly for me. Because if there is nothing to worry about - than I worry about the absence of something to worry about. I am concerned I may not be getting my point across.... (see what I mean.) Over the years, I have tried to focus on what gifts I have as an antidote to paralysis. They say comparison is the thief of joy, and they may be right. However, I am keenly aware that I have many privileges not afforded everyone. My body

Am I Vain?

A Well Run Life ·

2019/08/09

I don't think of myself as a violent man, but when I hear: "You look great..... for 48." I get a little nutty. That qualifier sort of negates the compliment, no? Am I vain? Ok, so I am vain. I agree, it is not an attractive quality. And, I am sure that I have some measure of all the 7 deadly sins in my character. My oldest daughter is 23 and launching the next phase of her life. I sat with her this week. She is marvelous. People occasionally compliment me as a parent regarding the

Ice Cream in the Morning

A Well Run Life ·

2019/08/03

I have been traveling to big cities these past three weeks. Austin, Chicago and San Diego. I have walked to nearly all my meetings on these trips. The number of homeless people seems overwhelmingly high in these places. Is the number higher than usual? I can't say. How to give someone their dignity while keeping a reasonable expectation that I deserve personal space- is a question that nags at me during these encounters. Walking about 6:3 0 AM in San Diego a woman is ensconced in a

Kissing Babies

A Well Run Life ·

2019/07/25

My Mom is Italian and my Dad is Irish. I am in the immigrant cycle of Americans where the immigrants were passing in the first 10 years of my life. Those born in this country primarily identified with their country origin. As a kid - When I was with my Dad's side - I was Irish. When I was with my Mom's side - I was Italian. A cultural schizophrenic you might say.   Each side of the family embraced a specific set of rules of behavior. Although the underpinning values of those rules

Our New One

A Well Run Life ·

2019/07/20

It was a big week in our family. I have a new niece as of last week. My brother-in-law and his wife added a perfect little cutie-pie to the family. Mother and baby are happy and healthy. And we are so happy to have the new one. I am rarely accused of being relaxed or calm. Even in repose, I am thinking of what to do next. One antidote to my monkey-mind has always been taking a nap with a baby on my chest. I've yet to squish one and my body's instincts seem to keep them safe even when

Here's Looking At You

A Well Run Life ·

2019/07/12

I am not saying I am competitive, but I was 48 when it happened. He was 50. By “it” – I mean having to buy reading glasses. By “him” – I mean my Dad. The optometrist handled me well. I told him that I was there to confirm I did not need glasses. He appropriately and politely ignored me while conducting the exam. The journey from non-spectacled to bespectacled took less than 30 minutes and did not in fact kill me. And so, on July 9th2019 my denial - that my eyes need help reading the

Flow

A Well Run Life ·

2019/07/08

The ocean brings me peace in a way no other place can – In the waves of the Southern California Pacific Ocean I feel divine generosity and a safe smallness. Salt water and the oxygenated white foam always wash away fatigue and move me towards an awareness of my body that I can’t get on land. I am suspended. I am unequal to the power of the sea. And somehow, I am safe. Body surfing and diving under the waves never bore me. No two waves ever strike me as the same. Some defect of

I am in a season of change. Although, it’s occurred to me that perhaps we are always in a season of change and we just come in and out of realizing it. Whichever is the case, I sense newness emerging in my life and myself. I can’t report precisely how I feel about it – Right now It’s just a fact to me. I remember listening to a wise spiritual man give a talk, and he was describing the basic motivations, fears and aspirations present in human beings. He concluded his remarks by

Grace in the Morning Rain

A Well Run Life ·

2019/03/12

The word Grace can mean so many things but idea of un-merited favor is my favorite. I live a life absent so many problems and full of so many blessings. My strengths and weaknesses are so closely bound to each other, that they often work simultaneously for me and against me. The divine is gentle with me. And I find enormous Grace in my everyday existence when I simply stop to notice.

For years, it’s been my habit to do a podcast near my birthday to mark the moment. Well, it’s been 6 months since my last birthday and so I realize I will soon be staring another one in the face soon. It is certainly a feature of aging that time is measured in different increments as we get older. 5 minutes seemed a reasonable length of time when I was 4, and now I measure time in decades. There will come a time when this annual podcast is full of wisdom, great instruction on living a full

Monsoon Season

A Well Run Life ·

Some dirty rotten scoundrel stole my Trailer at Grace Farms. I doubt the thief realized that it was my trailer. To the thief, it was “A” Trailer or “The Trailer.” Be that as it may I am taking it personally.

Not Small

A Well Run Life ·

2018/06/17

Every wave seems to make it a point to let me know how powerless I am to stop it. But this doesn’t bother me. I go over or under their power without any fear. I don’t sit still easily. I prefer motion to rest. And I must like to worry – Because I do it all the time. I have a relentlessness to me that is endearing if I am solving your problem And irritating if I am trying to get you to answer my question. The ocean keeps me quiet by forcing me to hold my breath. I have been taught

On Kale and Daughters

A Well Run Life ·

2018/05/30

I am staring at the Kale. And the Kale is staring back. When it was a seed – small and full of potential – it needed me to coax it from it’s confining shell out to a wide-open world of possibility. Now, it’s life is largely its own. Sun and water feed it and it grows nearly perceptibly in front of my eyes. Always reaching towards the sun I assist nowadays, but mostly does the work without me.

If you are wondering if you are ready for the big adventure ahead. Let me report form the edges of competence It’s a dangerous ledge with risks of may even be fatal. But, let me be an example I have survived all the consequences of my mistakes – serious as some have been. Let the voice in your head keep you humbly honest And believe me when I tell you: None of us are hitting mark all the time. Attend to the details of your desires and try your best to be a good example.

My Last Card

A Well Run Life ·

2018/04/09

I am crying. Two seconds ago, I was a middle-aged man planning his day over an Americano. Then, I get a text from my cousin. I am not crying quiet – dignified-like. My nose is running and I am thanking god the bill is already paid. On the way to the car, I compose myself. The week is chock-full of the type of news you carry in your belly. In what appears to be a moment of calm, I call my boss. I report to him that I won’t really be myself today. And then As if to prove the point I start to

Chicken Eggs

A Well Run Life ·

2018/03/22

I am standing in front of a steaming pile. It’s taller than I am, and so I get to work. I am raking and shoveling the mulch delivered to Grace Farms with the discipline of an army ant. It’s about 6:30 AM – my morning farm shift – As I shovel deeper into the pile of chipped trees, the heat is obvious. The tree was upright, then it wasn’t. The tree was alive, then it wasn’t. And again – it is one thing becoming another. The morning shifts are short, the responsibilities of day have no pause

House Marks

2018/02/21

The desert winter can be harsh. There are times when it I so wicked one is compelled to put their socks on. Since I am a tough guy, I am going without socks this morning. Out into the garage I step to retrieve the almond milk for this morning’s Americano, and I am stabbed with a razor sharp ice pick straight to my bone. Ok – perhaps that over states the moment I stepped on a scorpion who met the assault with a sting on the bottom of my middle toe. A scorpion sting is some sort of poison

DM's Triumph

2017/11/26

It is an hour after Thanksgiving dinner. Family traditions throttle the pace of any high holiday – national or religious. I am currently throttling my 13 year-old nephew on the nearest basketball court in a post-turkey dinner game of HORSE. In my family, you won every contest against an adult until you were a certain age. The victories may have been assured, but every adult made in feel authentic. They would wince under the weight of the child’s crushing strategic genius on a game board,

Rockin' The House

2017/11/18

I am 20 and playing lead guitar. I am by far the worst musician in the band. They likely would have been a house-hold name if they had not been saddled with me. We played together for a year, and thank god You Tube had not been invented - my children would not survive the embarrassment. BUT There was this one gig. We were wedged between two head banging acts - but the crowd had a few friendly faces And out there. for one night we rocked the house. And I was a rock-n-roller Or at

The Road Runner at Grace Farms is eye-balling me. He was there before me, and he is intent on not letting me forget it. The bird presents himself to me every time I arrive. The colors of his plumage are much more subtle than I realized. I know Road Runners differently because I focused on this Road Runner.
