Thumbnail image for Reasons why we sing by Kevin Robison November 5, 2011

It’s been one of those summers. You think things are going one way, then suddenly life throws a curve, and then a curve back, and all of the sudden you feel like you are on an endless slalom. The ride can be fun, but when you find yourself passing very big trees at a very [...]

White man with a guitar leans on black man playing a saxophone. Both are dressed in black and white clothes. White album cover. Everything about the Born to Run album cover is black and white. Very little about Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons was. They didn’t make an issue over a black man playing in [...]

He Who Can, Does: He Who Can Not, Teaches?

“He Who Can, Does: He Who Can Not, Teaches”– George Bernard Shaw, 1903. Really? But I thought, “It takes a village to raise a child”– Hillary Rodham Clinton, 1996. Teaching is certainly part of raising a human being. 93 transformative years and the opposite sex separate these quotes. Followed by “No Child Left Behind”– George [...]

The Music In You

Thumbnail image for The Music In You by Brooke Leigh Sheldon April 13, 2011

Hey, what if I were to catch you in your happiest of moments and whisper to you…… “What’s the music you hear?” You’d probably glance over at me and say, “What music?!” Then I’d say, “That music….”, and point at you. Whereupon, you’d probably eye me as if you were looking for something, likely my [...]

Memory, A Double Edged Sword

Thumbnail image for Memory, A Double Edged Sword by Sandi Severson September 29, 2010

                Recently I visited with a 98-year-old woman who was simply delightful. Her appearance and her bright disposition make it difficult to believe she is 98. One of Esther’s interesting qualities is her brief repertoire of accessible memories. This consists of a mere five or six things. The [...]
