For those of you in the Chicago area, I will be performing a FREE “pHusion” show as part of the Andersonville Arts Weekend.
WHEN: Sat. 10/15, 5-6 pm
WHERE: pH Comedy Theatre, 1515 W. Berwyn (bet. Clark & Ashland), Chicago
WHAT: “pHusion,” an arts-and-improv comedy collaboration. There will be two artists (I’m on second)—we play a song, the troupe riffs an improv skit based on it, we repeat it, and then the tables are turned: the audience suggests a topic, the troupe improvises, and we insert ourselves musically into it. Unlike a regular pH performance, because this is part of an arts festival you are free to walk in or out at will. Plenty of places to eat and drink.
PRICE: Zip! Zilch! Nada!

The primal rhythmic power
and resonant sound of waves on the shore
are like the earth's heartbeat,
and become our connection with the body of nature.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huiefound this to be sooo true and one of the few but great reasons I truly miss the Pacific ocean that I was fortunate to have as a companion for 25 yrs. of my life.

Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our
spirit feeds upon it.We must have it because without it we become
weak and faint.Without love our self-esteem weakens.Without it
our courage fails.Without love we can no longer look confidently at the world.We turn inward and begin to feed upon our own personalities, and little by little we destroy ourselves.With it we are creative. With it we march tirelessly.With it, and with it alone,
we are able to sacrifice for others.

Happiness is not in our circumstances, but in ourselves.
It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel,
like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.

You will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden, but you will grow if you are sick, in pain, experience losses, and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain and learn to accept it, not as a curse or punishment but as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose. -Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross

This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

Words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and purposes.

It can be tempting to blame others for our loss of direction.
We get lots of information about life but little education in
life from parents, teachers, and other authority figures, who
should know better from their experience.Information is
about facts.Education is about wisdom and the knowledge
of how to love and survive.But no matter how much advice
you get, you are the one who chooses which train to board.
As you pass through life, pay attention to the signs and
stations; if you don't like the scenery, pull the emergency
cord and get off the train.There is no other conductor in
charge.There is no one who needs to give you permission to transfer.This is your life.Your journey.Your trip to conduct.
Bernie SiegelMr. Siegel is one of my favorites when it comes to quotes. Always enjoy the ones about change or being able to re-arrange your life in better fashion. Not needing ( though we all seem to have it happen now and then ) to be stuck in one mode is such an optimum. Sometimes starting small by just learning to smile at others puts you on a different and for you hopefully better path. Seeing and finding one person today who could use a hand with something. Nothing has to be huge to produce different results. Thank you Bernie Siegel.

Conscience, as a mentor, the guide and compass of every act, leads ever to happiness. When the individual can stay alone with his or her conscience and get its approval, without knowing force or specious knowledge, then he or she begins to know what real happiness is.
William G. Jordan0 -
Life's lessons come through failures probably more
than successes. Through our failures we learn humility.
We learn to look to others for help and guidance. We learn how to let others fail, too. We fail because we are human. When we no longer fear failure, we are free to attempt
greater feats. We dare to learn more, and life is fuller
for it--not just our own lives, but the lives that we touch.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.If a person speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him or her like a shadow that never leaves. -the Buddha

Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one's self.We must be purposely kind and generous or we miss the best part of life's existence.The heart that goes out of itself gets large and full of joy.We do ourselves most good by doing something for others. -Horace Mann

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day,
a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic
waiting somewhere behind the morning.

One does not need to fast for days and meditate for hours
at a time to experience the sense of sublime mystery
which constantly envelops us.All one need do is to notice
intelligently, if even for a brief moment, a blossoming tree,
a forest flooded with autumn colors, an infant smiling.
Simon Greenberg0 -
When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow people, regardless of race, color or creed, shall fill the world, making real in our lives and our deeds the actuality of human brotherhood--until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained. -Helen Keller

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Carefully observe the natural laws in operation in the world around you,
and live by them.From following them, you will learn the morality of modesty, moderation, compassion, and consideration (not just one society's rules and regulations), the wisdom of seeing things as they are (not of merely collecting "facts" about them), and the happiness of being in harmony with the Way (which has nothing to do with self-righteous "spiritual" obsessions and fanaticism).And you will live lightly, spontaneously, and effortlessly.
Benjamin Hoff0 -
If you observe really happy people, you will find them building a boat, writing a symphony, educating their children, growing double dahlias or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi Desert.They will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that had rolled under the radiator, striving for it as a goal in itself.They will have become aware that they are happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of each day. -W. Beran Wolfe

Go Cubs Go! Went to the eye surgeon this morning for my 1-day post-op followup, expecting Lake Shore Dr. to be deserted at 8 am because everyone was home still hung over. Hah! Everyone in the Loop is working their keisters off because tomorrow will be the victory parade and rally—down Michigan Ave. to Grant Park, which will see its biggest crowds since Election Night 2008.
Delighted to find I can see well enough to drive today—gotta bring home groceries as well as go to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get Cubs World Champions stuff.

Note how good you feel after you have encouraged
someone else. No other argument is necessary to suggest that
one never miss the opportunity to give encouragement.
George M. Adams0 -
Character is the product of daily, hourly actions, words and thoughts:
daily forgiveness, unselfishness, kindnesses, sympathies, charities, sacrifices for the good of others, struggles against temptation, submissiveness under trial. It is these, like the blinding colors in a
picture, or the blending notes of music, which constitute the person.
John MacDuff0 -
Grace is goodness and respect given freely and unconditionally. A sense of divine love and protection bestowed on us when we need strength and renewal. Grace helps us know we are not alone and believe we are cared for and cherished. Grace is a drink of clear, clean water in the desert. -Sue Patton Thoele
