I was doing some reminiscing the day, thinking all the way back to high school. I think in life I’ve forgotten more than I remember, but there are certain things that really stick out. People, who I remember fondly for various reasons, are at the forefront of my thoughts. Not all of these people would […]
When my son was born, he was a bit premature, small in size, but healthy and strong. It wasn’t until he was about 7 months old, and had made no efforts to try to crawl, that we learned something was wrong with him. It wasn’t something very major, just one of those little idiosyncrasies that […]
Motion Perpetual Motion… Imperceptible Movement… We are both in the same moment constantly in motion but barely moving, everything changing so that everything stays the same… one thing leading to another, leading back to the same thing again. It seems no matter how hard we try to break out of the circles we have drawn […]
The plane should be landing right about now, and in a few minutes, the phone would ring. On the other end of the line would be the resonating voice that had come to be so comforting to her. She hated the constant trips out of town, but he had promised her that things would be […]
When I was a child, my father was the type of man who always had passing fancies. He seemed a bit restless and never quite knew what he wanted to be when he grew up, and he was in his late 30s at this time. I suppose I can’t really say much about that, because […]

The rays of the sun reflected off the lake surface, in shimmering, brilliant strands. The group of girls stood near the pond, changing into swim clothing after the long hike and horse ride down the path through the woods. The lake was not swimmable, for the water was too murky, too dirty. Not from pollution […]
Emotions — In my opinion, having full faith and trust in your partner is the ultimate foundation of a relationship—more than love, more than friendship, more than sex and passion—trust and faith in the other person and in yourself is the foundation. Love is important. There must be love, but I do believe there is […]
Muses. We all need a muse in our lives, in our hearts, in our very souls. A muse is your inspiration, not just for writing, but for life… some people can be their own muses, but I seek that from outside of myself. For me, only my muse can reach deep inside of me and […]
