Soil and Sky

The other day I was watching a YouTube video about people digging for 20th century relics, and thought about my son, Jeremy’s experience with digging in Danville a few years ago. The site of his exploration was the small parking lot next to where he works, with the express permission of the property’s owner. That... Read More

Karma At The Zoo (A Karma-Lita Story)

Karma-Lita sailed through yet another yellow traffic light as if her car had wings. Her boss, Hank Benson, was participating in her karma delivery run to assess Karma-Lita’s technique. Karma-Lita’s methods were somewhat unorthodox. As a supervisor at Karma Delivery Professionals, Hank thought company reputation related to client satisfaction. The previous KDP client, Alderson, had... Read More

Songs From the Red Clay

Joshua Ray Hudson doesn’t think of himself as someone who found music. He’ll tell you plainly: music found him. And if you push him on the difference, he’ll probably reach for a quote from Nashville songwriter Jessi Alexander, “songwriting is cheaper than therapy.” Hudson grew up in Casar, North Carolina, a small community tucked into...

Clairvoyant

If we could read our minds, a picture I’d share with you would connect our love with images we would treasure, secret images we would frame with wisps of joy, would treat as kisses only we could tell have meaning, their focus, essential, dear.

Trace of Snow

Back on December 5th, 2025, I awoke to a minus-1 inch snow after the weatherman had called for a couple of inches the day before.

The Karma-Lita Check Ride

“Hank Benson, why are you accompanying me on a client call?” Karma-Lita floored the gas pedal. Her fingers drummed the steering wheel. She shot an unfriendly look at the man in the passenger seat, clutching his seatbelt with one hand and the handgrip above the window with the other. “Karma-Lita, you are a long-term employee...

Ample

Contentment pervades those parts of me I can’t reach, can’t touch unless I ride deep breaths into my quiet heart or my relaxing mind when it slips into a neutral channel where pressure never can invade. There, I find peace, its wellspring.

 The Ice Cream Man

Even though our winters might not be what they once were, especially the ones remembered by us “Boomers” of the 1950s and 60s, the fact that all of the leaves have fallen and been sucked up by the “great vacuums” of Danville’s department of public works by January is a sure indicator that Nature is...

Her personal motto is “Get karma’d.” Today she’s carrying a big book and delivering karma to George, an unsuspecting victim who works the night shift.)
