Hello Dear Ones! If you follow our posts regularly, our entries this week: Mike’s - Being Green – Literally & Marcia’s - Marcia’s Meanderings – A Crisis of Spirit, you will already know that both of us have had our share of interesting challenges in the past seven days.
Hello, Dear Reader: We were trying to decide on a topic for this week’s ‘He Says, She Says…‘ post and were both surprised to realize that we’ve already written 31 posts in this category (plus one announcing the birth of our newest grandson). Therefore, rather than adding to the list this week we thought we’d provide an index to the topics we’ve already covered (in alphabetical order, no less). Enjoy! Hello, Dear Reader: It’s getting rather late in the day, but we didn’t want to let a Sunday pass without including something in the ‘He Says, She Says…‘ section of our blog. As it happened we invested much of our day today at the ‘Organic Islands Festival and Sustainability Expo‘, billed as Canada’s Largest Outdoor Green Festival. The festival was held this weekend at Glendale Gardens & Woodland, itself a beautiful collection of gardens at Victoria’s north end. In a way our being there today was a coming together of things for us, and we wanted to take a moment or two to mention some of them. Continue reading “He Says, She Says… Synthesis“ Hello, Dear Reader: Well, we’re back from our self-imposed hiatus from ‘He Says, She Says…‘ posts; we’re awaiting the proof copy of Marcia’s new book from the printer. Last night we were going through previous posts to determine what we’ve covered and realized that this is our 30th post in [...] Hi Folks: Sunday has wound its way around again, and that usually means our ‘He Says, She Says…‘ post, but Marcia’s still happily ensconced in editing her book of poetry and mostly all I get is an occasional nod or a “What’s that, dear?” For that reason, this week’s post will be strictly a ‘He Says’. However, since yesterday marked our 92nd Monthaversary of being married, we did take some time off this afternoon to go to the movies. We wanted to see ‘Letters to Juliet‘, and while I don’t want to spoil the movie for you, I will say that it’s a wonderful movie and Vanessa Redgrave was stunning as always. It’s a little slow in places, but it’s also hopelessly romantic and features some wonderful scenes of the Tuscan countryside. I’ll admit it; I cry in movies, and this one warrants a few happy tears. Continue reading “He Says, She Says… Sunday Cinema“ He Says: “So, how’s the book coming along?” She Says: “Pretty well. Coming down to the crunch though.” He Says: “So, what’s our topic for this week?” She Says: “Hmmm? Sorry, honey, but this is taking all of my time right now.” He Says: “Until next week then?” She Says: “That would probably be [...] Hello, Dear Reader: There’s a saying: “There are only 168 hours in a week, no matter your age, how much money you make, what you’ve invested, how attractive you are, or how much information you can access on the Internet. No exemptions. Your quality of life is a function of [...] Hello, Dear Reader: What does the word ‘free’ mean to you? Is it a word that implies value, such as ‘freedom’, or ‘free will’, or is it something that denotes no value, as in ‘Free to Good Home’? The word freedom itself can mean freedom from something like oppression, or [...] Hello, Dear Reader: What does it mean to be ‘perfect’? To some this appellation implies a ‘best possible’, whether it be a perfect day, a perfect moment, a perfect meal… To others perfection can only be a goal, something that can never be achieved or attained. As such there are those who would suggest we not even try. In his book ‘The Bridge Across Forever‘, author Richard Bach described his search and failure to find what he considered to be the ‘perfect woman’. He eventually came to realize that his goal was an impossible dream, that his perfect woman was, in his words, ‘a peacock’. When he surrendered this dream he found instead the love of his life, Leslie Parrish. Continue reading “He Says, She Says… Embracing Perfection“ Hello, Dear Reader: How do we measure the true value of something – is it intrinsic or extrinsic? According to Wikipedia: Intrinsic value is an ethical and philosophic property. It is the ethical or philosophic value that an object has “in itself” or “for its own sake”, as an intrinsic property. An object with [...] |
