THE KISS
I think memory’s collapsed of that first kiss. Perhaps in eight grade — could have been Ginger, Who I remember but holding hands with; Or someone in that spin-the-bottle group; Funny, I just remember being there. I’m sure I kissed at least two girls in High School. But no heavy passion. Didn’t happen. Have no […]

WHY I DON’T COMMIT SUICIDE!!
Amazing the stats of how many people commit suicide every year. A regular news item. Many years as a minister-counselor, I’ve lived with these realities — even directly counseled a few to successfully reconsider. This is not to report such cases. This is my report. I’m 85 and fairly healthy. I spend most of my […]

ONE STRANGE ROCK — Is a Series well worth watching.
This is a ten episode (about 10 hours TV time), ten out of ten stars production, by National Geographic, hosted by Will Smith and 8 Astronauts. Beautifully done. It is basically the same message/presentation as in my Trilogy and especially the third volume, AUGURIES (just look at the cover). That’s why I was drawn to […]
OTHER WRITINGS AVAILABLE
OTHER WRITINGS AVAILABLE THE ASCENT OF WOMAN — Presented by me in 1965 with interesting “Seminary” results. I made copies of this history available at the UU General Assembly in Columbus, June 2016, when I formally retired and joined the celebration of Ministers ordained 50 years ago. Other than that, the timing was such that […]

OF COURSE ET EXISTS —
In current science news the name of Avi Loeb, Harvard Astronomer, has got much attention on his contention that ET is out there and probably in our Milky Way galaxy. The recent entry of OUMAMUA, that cigar shaped asteroid (???) that sailed through our solar system and out very quickly, seemed to have stirred him […]
ANOTHER INTIMATION OF IMMORTALITY — THE MOVIE “THE DISCOVERY”
One of my favorite little books is G. H. Palmer’s “Intimations of Immortality in the Sonnets of Shakspere” (his spelling )–This was a lecture in 1912 as part of Harvard University’s “Ingersol Lectures on Immortality,” which began in 1896, but seems to have not been continued much lately. Perhaps no one has put-up any more […]
TO CRY OUT LOUD — OUT! — AGAIN&AGAIN!
This cry-sound-angst has a long history. To sound the cry now is as the first time Any creature felt it and body-shook With death’s cry-hurt welled from deep inside, Bursting to get outside and be yelled-out! Its start, poet-cried by Tennyson as “Nature, red, in tooth and claw” — for us all; With the so […]
