Shedding
Winter fur is dropping Spilling all over the floor The collar holding up a head ready to roll Instability and shakiness propping the legs Time to shed that winter coat Face what is to come
To fly as high up as you can
Freedom. It’s a beautiful word. A most wondrous concept. An aspiration. Not only at the governmental level but in our own day-to-day lives. We live with fears that keep us bound. We live within constraints, that we have often set ourselves. While at the Brooklyn zoo -tiny but […]
Choosing between a pragmatist and one who comforts
Imagine this scenario. Someone is leaning over a toilet throwing up. One person pulls that person’s hair back and says it’ll be ok. Another person stands back perplexed trying to figure out what caused the stomach problem. While a third person goes back to look for the purse […]
If only I were an octopus
I personally have been experiencing crazy, lucid, vivid dreams this past year. It’s my understanding that many others have as well. Probably everyone at this point. We went through a pandemic that seemed never-ending. Well, we are still in the midst of a pandemic. But hope is in […]
Masks are the new bumper stickers

Is there only one who is The One?
Last year, during the height of the pandemic, everyone was talking about Tiger King. Well, not me. I didn’t care for it even though I didn’t even know the premise. Then one night late, late summer I caught a few episodes. I felt caught up in a surreal […]
Hope as a survival tool
We all have tool kits and boxes. I have a tool kit with screwdrivers, a hammer, nails and random wrenches from ikea. I note that because most people won’t think I have a toolbox. Many wouldn’t even believe I put my own bookshelf together. Well, besides literal tools […]
Never fully dressed without a smile
Yesterday, I did the unthinkable. I went out without my earrings on. For me, that is akin to going out naked. And, in particular, as I like dangling earrings. They jingle. They swing with the beat of my steps. They make me feel whole. I know that must […]
