Although most of my articles and books are focused on project-based work, I made notes along life´s pathways to capture experiences that sparked my interest. Over the decades I jotted down a few events and reflections. While in corona virus quarantine in Rio de Janeiro in 2020, I gathered random jottings and other scraps already drafted into the computer, to meld together these vignettes, mostly for my own amusement. But I imagined that some of the messages might hit home for family or other potential readers. So Since I´m moving into my 80s, I figured I´d better get on with the program! Here it is, a collection of vignettes, reflecting feelings, sensations and perceptions -- snippets collected at random stopovers in life. They include philosophical tidbits and touch on themes of awareness and mindfulness. You´ll see some of me and maybe some of yourself as you read along. I hope it makes you reflect, smile, maybe laugh, and perhaps motivates you to make your own notes as you journey along. Paul Campbell Dinsmore
