Each moment carries a message,
a lesson for us.

Lake Robbins Bridge — A Flashback 1 comment
Lake Robbins Bridge — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Lost
Drawn within its midst
Are signs that could be comprehended
The same signs I thought I could interpret
These signs seem to be nothing
They could mean something
Still in these unknown dreams
It’s snippet visions of flashback
Clicking like the camera’s shutter
Blindsided by the flash
Surrounded by a support swarm of bees
Hope and dream maybe it’s own fantasy
Could be the dreams that I thought of
The dreams that I could have wished
A dream that could be a tell-all tale
This dream could be just a fantasy
Maybe a fate of its own destiny
If I could only get its true impact
This interpretation could be crossroads
A crossroad that could answer it all
It could free me or imprison me
Could be the downfall or success
Maybe an ending with sorrow or joy
Might be answered in my next lifeline

Flashback, 1972 — The CDCP Days 2 comments
Flashback, 1972 at SIU — The Pipe Smoking Days
In the early 1970s, I worked with Dr. Larry J. Bailey, my friend, and mentor, on the Career Development for Children Project (CDCP). Several of us worked on the project to produced a career development curriculum for elementary school children. In 1973 I went to work at McKnight Publishing Company to help produce project materials. Career development is not obtaining knowledge in preparation for living, but rather it is a process of experiencing living.
Before leaving CDCP, I prepared a paper titled, “A Theory of the Functional Self.” The paper reviewed self-theory that explores self a being a product of social interactions. From this theory, we have seen that self-information is a developmental process that takes place within the social system. A social system may be a peer group, a single classroom, school, community, occupational establishment, or any other organized group of individuals.
It is also assumed that a social system has two dimensions, the individual and the institution, and the patterns resulting from the interaction of these dimensions are social behavior. The individual’s inferences from his behavior define his self-concept, and a self-concept that has career relevance is the functional self.
The functional self, like the self-concept, is a self-process, a process of being and becoming. It is the functional self’s developmental process that should enable educators to develop a process career developmental curriculum, rather than a content occupational information curriculum. Career development is not obtaining knowledge in preparation for a living; rather, it is a process of experiencing living.

Joy and Kenne in the City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico, July 28, 2012
Let’s go
Let’s go, let’s go,
The road is waiting.
Let’s go, let’s go,
Time is wasting.
Let’s go, let’s go,
The heart is yearning.
Let’s go, let’s go,
The brain is questioning.
Should I, should I not
Should I be, should I act
Should I, should I
Being or doing?
Let’s go, let’s go,
The pipes are playing.
Let’s go, let’s go,
The light is dancing.
Let’s go, let’s go,
The child is calling.
Let’s go, let’s go,
The brain is questioning.
Should I, should I not
Should I be, should I act
Should I, should I
Being or doing?
Let’s go, let’s go,
Tomorrow is awakening.
Let’s go, let’s go,
The times are changing.
Let’s go, let’s go,
The wind is pushing.
Let’s go, let’s go,
The brain is questioning.
Should I, should I not
Should I be, should I act
Should I, should I
Being or doing?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Let’s go, let’s go.

Capturing The Moment — Flashback Mountain 2 comments
Sabino Canyon, December 14, 2011 — Image by kenne
It’s August in southern Arizona, hot, dry desert temperatures are the norm, which is why we hike the cool trails in the mountains. It is this contrast that captures the beauty of the Sonoran desert and the Santa Catalina mountains.

Flashback — Seeing Ramsey Lewis at the London House Leave a comment
Sunday afternoon and here I am listening to music back in time – in my mind. The time is the sixties, a time of early romance, which has always had a music connection – especially blues and jazz. Nurtured by late night radio, the music was often a balance with loneliness providing a connection with the feeling that stirred my very being. Some of my favorite jazz musicians were the likes of Oscar Peterson, Ramsey Lewis, Dave Brubeck, Erroll Garner and Ahmad Jamal. 
So, as I set here on our deck watching the dance of flying insects, a vision seen only because of the late afternoon sun spotlighting the being, otherwise unnoticed to the eye, and listening to an NPR interview with Ramsey Lewis – Ramsey Lewis: Opening Jazz to All – the genenis of my flashback.
Loving the late night radio music, it was only natural to share my late night feelings with a date by going to the London House, a supper-club that was the place for jazz in Chicago. Located at the corner of Wacker Drive and Michigan Avenue. (Sadly, this great location on “magnificent mile” later became a Burger King restaurant.) Although above my means, I could think of no better place to spend a romantic evening. Looking back, I’m not sure if the romance was with the date or the music. However, knowing me, it was both.
