Failing Up
Life is improvisation! Observations from a regular guy on how with world around us impacts who we are and what we perceive. I explore how life is more about asking questions than accepting what is presented. In addition to my own reflections and experiences, I interview guests from the art, literary, music, cultural and political fields to gain insight as to how we all impact the world we share and our joint realities.
We are all failing up!

Fresh Cut Grass

There is nothing like the aroma of fresh cut grass to let you know all is alright. That comforting smell of growth and hope seems like a switch was flipped from black and white to a color screen. It does not matter if it is in a city park, small patch of grass in a yard or acres and acres that magical whiff of springs takes us through the times of our lives and reassures that all is well. I recall the noise of the lawn mower being driven by Joe the janitor outside the open classroom windows at Kasson Road Elementary School in Upstate NY, the smell of the grass coming into the classroom letting us know soon we would be free. Of course later on in high school there was a different type of grass odor that omitted from outside. Oh well, a story for another day!! Welcome grass stains and the fragrance of my life!
