I hear the host of heaven in the hum of the air conditioning unit, blades whirring, like feathers in a tornado. I imagine the angels spiraling, their voices raised in adoration or dismay as the creations move with free will below them, choosing, ever choosing, those actions most defiant - even with the best intentions. …

I had the pleasure of being interviewed
Last week I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Joan Raymond for her Youtube Channel "A Heart For Writing" - she's interviewed many different types of writers in many genres and I was most honored and delighted to be included. I highly recommend checking out her interviews, especially her interviews with Brendan Constantine, Adam …
People
A dark swirl of heavy demands attention when they enter the room, fitting into every nook and cranny, stealing the very light from all others... except one. The energy dissipates around one small figure. Small, but not small. Quiet and energy controlled and it does not need to take up the room. This energy is …
Two steps forward, one step back
"Getting back to normal" seems to be the watchword in these days of disruption. Not only illness, but beliefs, opinions, even history have opened the way for chaos. And people, being out of their comfort zone, want "normal" back, even if normal wasn't all that it was supposed to be. Normal has become the popular …
The Lesson
One thing I have learned from nature and probably also the bombardment of morals in books and movies is that nature prevails. Looking at the documentary of wildlife in and around the Chernobyl site years after the famed "accident" reminds me that all of humanity is a small blip on the grand timeline. You'd think …
Explore
There are still places to explore, things to discover, every day can be an adventure. So many bemoan the lack of new horizons, and ignore the many universes still at our fingertips. As a child, I had a moment when I grieved that there were no new continents, no mysteries; it seemed that someone else …
Collage
In bits and pieces gathered from a comment here or a tweet there, or even a photo posted, or rant on FB - slowly, deliberately, a picture emerges. You are a collection: disparate items - facts, beliefs, ego boosts, humble statements, the photo of your cat and dog as best friends nestled on the pillows, …
Isn’t it funny
Isn't it funny how memory fades, how differently we might remember the same event from one year to the next. Isn't it funny how people come and go, some in orbit tightly around your life and others who might cycle every decade or so with the same brilliance and comfort as if they had always …
Breakfast for dinner
It is such a guilty pleasure, but why should that be so... breakfast for dinner. A bacon, mushroom, and cheese omelet with toast and strawberry preserves hits a particularly good spot. It reminds me of the fresh start, the long to do, the events to look forward to... It harkens to beginnings and potential. And …
Notes that float
One of our neighbors has a couple of cockatiels and a parrot. They chirp, and whistle, and make the fun noises of car alarms - they are very talented that way. We play a little game, because they seem to know when I am in the yard, and they always whistle. Not the standard wolf …
