Mayday Mayday: A Community Garden Mural Beckons Your Spiritual Consideration
Good morning, Vocal Media and spiritual seekers, this is your Monday Morning Huddle for May 5, 2025! Today's inspiration comes from a mural in my local community garden. I was out early this morning walking toward a different location I had set in mind when the mural photographed above jumped out at me, beckoning my immediate attention. It was an odd experience because I see this mural nearly every day; I've seen it for years, but today, it was as if the picture came to life, radioing, "Mayday, Mayday."

My Friend The "Cancer Lady"
That is not a picture of her, but it does remind me of her. She will remain anonymous as she does not want to be 'killed' by the pharmaceutical industry. She treats people with cancer in her home/office daily. She was a teacher once and continues to be a teacher.

Stillness in the Chaos
For the last ten months and counting, our house has been a construction zone. We’re still living in it—confined to three rooms. My den doubles as our eat-in kitchen, complete with two freezers, a microwave, an air fryer, a toaster, and a hot plate. The once-quiet rhythm of our mountain home has been overtaken by the high-pitched wail of saws, the pounding of hammers, and the zip-zip-zip of drills securing drywall to studs.

The Lost Art of Listening
Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home? — Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd Pink Floyd's lyrics from Comfortably Numb echo a familiar frustration: Do you ever feel like people are not really listening when you talk to them, whether in person or on the phone? Plenty of times, I have been chatting on the phone with one of my children or a friend. They had called me, and after we shared a little tidbit of back-and-forth conversation, I am met with complete and utter silence.

Oh you little sociopath, you!
What is the definition of a sociopath? A sociopath is a term used to describe a person with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of disregard for others, lack of empathy, deceitfulness, and impulsive or irresponsible behavior. Sociopaths often violate social norms, exploit others, and struggle with maintaining stable relationships, though they can sometimes be superficially charming or manipulative.
