A Simple Smile
We get confused by other languages and the place we’re from, doesn’t understand. We smile, frown in exactly the same way. Smile at someone now, improve your day. Not always, but often, they’ll smile back. If not, don’t be alarmed, go on the attack. Don’t know what their life is, was before, that simple smile […]
The Century Mark

As Long as Anyone
I am overhearing a lecture-going crowd; they’re talking about the daily mundane. Family, will their kids survive, out loud. Children as adult, no childhood to regain. Neither parent or child can relive the past. All parents hope to teach them to survive. Each generation wants better than the last. So it’ll be as long as […]
Law of Averages
Some days come at you like fastballs; you try hard, cannot catch up to them. Swinging, missing, or life strikes calls; if you connect, you’re filled with vim. Perhaps you don’t understand baseball.

Be still, listen, becoming the notes, the moment When you connect with this, everything beyond Whether you get it depends […]
Differences
I am sitting, waiting for a haircut; it is one of the myriad things we do. Any who don’t may be called a nut, but they are only different than you.
And Then I Know
I, one evening, going out to a recital, look away from my life, a brief moment. When my gaze returns, my perception changes so questions in my mind foment. Walking to the concert hall, after it’s rained, light reflects off every city street, diamonds to dazzle my eyes, my life rearranges, my heart chooses a […]
Near but Far From Home
Out for a day near but far from home, where do you think this child might roam? Hither, thither and even yon, what might I chance upon? A mighty tree, with children at play, becomes a tower, though it changes by the hour. A hidden trail beneath a massive thicket Leads to their secret hideout. […]
