In cracked soles
dusty finger nails
frosted eyes
musty armpits
the soggy velvet of skin

groping feathers
that fly
into a cage
wayfarers meet
watering thirsty
river beds
nothing is said
silence drowns
swallowed by a whale
wayfarers meet...

I was contemplating mantras today as I struggled with my work system and raced to get online so I can attend meetings. The mantra that echoed from last night was comfort. In reflection, it didn't work for me as a mantra.
Why was I thinking comfort? That question propelled me down...

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.” –Marcus Tullius Cicero
Recently, I was trying to organize my little boy’s books, which were so tightly crammed onto the shelves that grabbing one became a dangerous game of dominoes. After pulling each one out, I sat surrounded by the...

I have just returned from an idyllic and peaceful kayaking vacation in the Finger Lakes. During this time, I didn’t watch, read, or listen to the news, but now I’m home, back to work, and watching, reading, and listening. And there is much to wail over (as usual, it seems), but when I read...

“If what’s always distinguished bad writing — flat characters, a narrative world that’s clichéd and not recognizably human, etc. — is also a description of today’s world, then bad writing becomes an ingenious mimesis of a bad world.
