The little flowers try to bloom, Beneath a sky of wintry gloom. Their fragile stems, so brave and bold, Stretch toward the light, defying cold. The frost, it clings with icy grip, A crystal veil on petal’s tip. They shiver softly, roots dug deep, Dreaming of spring’s warmth […]
Resilience takes many forms, but few can say they’ve been swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. Yet, there was a guy—let’s call him the real-life Jonah—who recently did just that. He was diving, minding his own business, probably thinking about dinner or his to-do […]
Do you need a break? From what? I need a break. A break from binge-watching, doomscrolling, the endless snow, doing everyone’s laundry, gummy bears (I mean, how many can one person eat?), and my oddly comforting habit of rocking my legs back and forth. Yet, here I am, […]
Write about your first computer. It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and while the game is entertaining, what I really look forward to are the commercials. Though, I must admit, the excitement isn’t what it used to be. Remember that Apple commercial—the one that became a seismic cultural moment? I […]
