I have been contemplating this place and time in life–being 33. It is an interesting but hard to define stage. I have particularly been trying to explore the concept of the Jesus Year, as Jesus was supposedly 33 for the bulk of his ministry, betrayal, and death. The concept is that by the age of [...]

The last couple of days, I’ve been repairing a hole in our dining room ceiling, sanding, priming, and painting. Meanwhile, I’ve had on Minnesota Public Radio and occasionally CNN. Everything is abuzz with list of “The Top _________ of 2006″ (fill in the blank with “celebrities,” “movies,” “songs,” “albums,” “newsmakers,” and so on). Most of [...]

And now, looking ahead, it must be asked: what do you foresee in 2007? This can either be predictions of important events or people, or it could take the form of personal New Years resolutions. It’s always such a reflective time. I’m reminded that the month of January comes from Janus, the Roman god of [...]

Pinch posting for Gannon…. “[This is] my latest landscape in the on-going series. It is partially about layers, history, traces, and alteration.”

Summer Clearing
We pick locusts sliding fresh from the dunes like little Saint John the Baptists wandering in our wildness. Our little wilderness, sanctuaried by a wheat truck and a chain, arrives each time the metal-gray auger slips under the patch of dust- blue prairie sky.

We approach our gathering, and I’m enjoying the anticipation. I look forward to speaking with you all. It’s been a long couple of weeks, one of which was spent on the road in New Jersey for the Dodge Poetry Festival (anyone who has viewed Bill Moyers’ special The Language of Life knows the Dodge Festival) [...]

It’s not very good, but I just felt like posting something different…the following is true and I put it in a poem while I was in college.
V. The police called to tell me my car window was reported “found shattered.” I slip on my shoes and white T-shirt and break out of the front door, [...]

I mentioned in the Music Thursday post that I was sorry for my lack of involvement over the last week. This blog has been a great outlet for me, and I hope to come back in full force soon. I know there will be ebbs and flows…last week was a tough one for many of [...]

I thought this was an curious idea. it’s interesting how literature is trying to employ the tools of modern internet to thrive. In fact, the first blog I can remember took the shape of posting Samuel Pepys’ diary in daily increments.
Anyway, there’s a depthful flurry of information and content out there…I find so little of it [...]

Time is elastic, I heard once. I always believed this thought to have some merit.
Recent posts about time and how we spend it got me thinking. Is it truly about how we spend it, or how we experience it? Good times go quickly, bad times seem to move more slowly — that is, if you [...]

There’s something strange that happens to me once or twice a year. It’s a perceptible switch of preferences. The switch usually coincides with the onset and subsiding of summer, starting mid-spring and usually lasting until the Indian Summer hits.
Sometimes, I’m surprised as I skip a cycle. Instead of a six-month turnaround, the phases last a whole year. [...]

Thought of you last week Peters.
On the first rainy day we’ve had in a months I was out at Stock Building Supply loading up the Performing Arts Center pickup with 4 x 4s and 2 x 12s. By the time I was finished my leather gloves were soaked through. With slimy reactivated glove sweat and [...]

I must begin as is the ritual now with, “very interesting”.
all the blogs so far are really, truly fascinating. So difficult to express so much in so few words.
I think the heart of the matter is context. it is nearly impossible, to dissect our time, analyse it, and make conclusions which really capture all there [...]
