I wonder where I could get this actually turned into a real clock? I followed a prompt to make a “Zen clock,” and made the least Zen clock I could imagine–and I love it!

The musical slideshow is a time honored form of digital storytelling. I go out birding three or four times a week at our local Delta Ponds. My little slideshows and videos are day journal entries–this is what I did, this is what I saw, this was the season, the weather, the birds on the water, and what’s flowering now. Above: After a fair beginning in sunshine, my walk dissolved into snow, hail, and rain with still a mile back home. I […]

Journey to a Far Age
After I put Mom on the train to send her back to her home in Beaverton, OR, I felt dazed, jet-lagged. I felt like I had traveled to a far country for a week and was having to stage my re-entry, so I wouldn’t fall into a narcosis of the deep.That far country was a week at the Oregon Coast with my Mickey/Mom celebrating her 91st birthday with high surf and a terrific coastal storm. Mickey is fine–she’s alert, curious, and […]

It disclosed a great hole that went plumb-down.“That is the way,” he said. “But there are no stairs.” “You must throw yourself in. There is no other way.”― George MacDonald, The Golden Key and Other StoriesWeek Three of the Network Narratives class–now that I’ve thrown myself in, time to reflect on the free fall of the […]
