The Library is the main research arm of the U.S. Congress and the home of the U.S. Copyright Office. According to the Library of Congress, “In the […]
By Debra Basham, on July 19, 2024 Yesterday I was having a bad hair day. I need to get my hair cut soon or decide to let it grow out. It is at that difficult in-between stage, much like our planet.
Suddenly, I had the idea to look at a photo of me taken with my two older sisters when I […]
By Debra Basham, on July 17, 2024 Anālayo, a Buddhist monk, writes, “As long as the constant change inherent in life is not recognized, death is easily perceived as an abrupt end of all that has thus far been experienced as stable and lasting… it is not possible to live properly and fully unless the inevitability of death is accepted as an […]
By Debra Basham, on June 26, 2024 Agitation is interesting.
Instead of trying to make it go away, allow it to be fully present, so that you can watch and learn its nature clearly.

It is difficult to recall how long ago now I saw so clearly the futility of speaking about a situation that is […]
By Debra Basham, on June 13, 2024 Retreat Musings June 12, 2024
Today is the last day of this retreat with Barbara Brodsky and John Orr. I was blessed to stay in the guest quarters at the home of my dear friends, Delcy and Tom Kuhlman.

Or while I was out riding my bike and meeting a breed of dog that looks a […]
By Debra Basham, on May 12, 2024 I was awake a few times during the night. My friend is in the hospital. She just got home from Florida on Tuesday about dinner time and when I took “Welcome Home” cookies to her about noon on Wednesday, it was obvious she was not in tip-top-shape. This friend had MAJOR back surgery while in […]
By Debra Basham, on May 2, 2024 I have been working with a habitual habit energy. I’ve been at that place in the process where I could see clearly it was habit energy but I was not yet able to see what was driving it. You cannot see it until you can see it, and you cannot release it until you can […]
By Debra Basham, on April 17, 2024 I almost did not go for an out-of-doors bike ride today because of a threat of rain and a fairly stiff wind, but the newborn leaves making their debut on the trees outside my window moved me. About 7 miles in, and very near home, the three walkers looked a rather odd trio from behind, […]
By Debra Basham, on March 21, 2024 Today is March 21 and I have absolutely no “excuse” for not having posted on Yellow Brick Road since February 26.
