I believe in the three laws. You can’t win, you can’t break even, you can’t get out of the game. 1) Love is neither created nor destroyed, just changed form, or moved from one place to another. 2) The net insanity of the universe is alway increasing. 3) And you can never achieve what you … Continue reading The physics of us

People were scurrying and scrambling to get inside, dashing from place to place, so I moved along with the crowd into the Macy’s, through the revolving door. … Continue reading Horizontal rain

I traced a path, through brush and vine, along the mountain’s edge The sumac and the maple trees cast red hues on the ledge. Again, today, I’m ambling deep among the … Continue reading Autumn woods, a meditation
He was folding the thin end of the gold and auburn, autumn themed silk tie over the wider end, just above the second button. The collar button was still open, because his neck had grown slightly larger than the shirt would comfortably allow. He was excited about the dinner engagement, tonight. Maybe, it’s a little … Continue reading The Tie
