No foolin’!?

1 April 2008 Holi-DAZE

It may seem All Fools’ Day is about making fools of others but what it really reveals is that we’re all fools, as its original name suggests, providing you read it inclusively. Only by bearing in mind just how inclusive the human race really is do we remember that we’re all potentially foolish all the [...]

Rebirth, redemption & renewal †

23 March 2008 Holi-DAZE

The calendar convergences just keep coming this year.. Easter is observed in the West on the first Sunday following the first full moon as of the Equinox & can fall anywhere from 22 March to 25 April. In the rare years it does land in March, it’s typically not this early. Since Easter then dictates [...]

St. Palm Patrick’s SunDay ♣

16 March 2008 Holi-DAZE

Their traditions may be at odds, given the fasting of Palm Sunday & feasting of St. Patrick’s Day, but they’ve shared important themes. Although inspired by freedom of religion, they each led to social change. Whatever your opinion of the man who triumphantly rode into Jerusalem one Passover, history shows that he was not only [...]

Never too late for love ♥

17 February 2008 Holi-DAZE

For all its naysayers, St. Valentine’s Day really is simply a celebration of love. Throughout a convoluted but long history, the constant has been valor. Seldom is such courage possible aside from love thus their intertwining makes perfect sense. Their culmination into a holiday too focused on coupling is not quite so logical but shouldn’t [...]

New Years m(_ _)m

7 February 2008 Holi-DAZE

Thanx for your participation – period – but especially in helping to celebrate new years in the lives of two of my absolutely favorite people. I’m not one who minds telling her age for I feel each year is an accomplishment & every birthday a beginning. Age has never proven an accurate telling of anything [...]

Remember! Celebrate! Act!

21 January 2008 Holi-DAZE

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream was ultimately one of compassion for it’s through sympathy that we’re able to recognize each other’s humanity & find common ground. No matter how great or small the issues, nor how different someone may seem, we must remember how alike we are when all is said & done.
“I look [...]

Two thousand infinity ∞

3 January 2008 Holi-DAZE

Resolutions are always in question with the start of each new year. Of course, we should pursue all that’s important to us as we’re able. The date isn’t going to change whether we care enough to follow through. Much less will a change of calendars enable you to take on multiple things at once. It’s [...]
