As I bustled into the car for yet another of a thousand mundane errands that make up the hours of my days, I glanced down and saw it. Her soda can, the one she had grabbed yesterday for the drive up to the airport, that little metal can that had brushed against her lips and [...]

No Silence

It’s true, I’ve been having some trouble with life lately. I’m trying to work out what to do and where to go, and, you know, the world keeps spinning so fast it’s hard to clear my head long enough to finish an intelligent thought. My dear, sick cat keeps barfing all over the bed, so [...]

We were at the garden show. I found out when my mom broke down after a phone call. “It’s cancer.” “What?” “The biopsy. It’s cancer.” She turned pale and we had to hold her up. “What biopsy?” “We didn’t want to worry you, we thought it would be routine. The doctor wants to see us [...]

I went to see my new therapist yesterday. She lives in Rockridge, one of my favorite parts of Berkeley and an area I know well from college, so I felt right at home when I arrived. She has a room in a old Victorian house, which is beautiful, but, sadly, lacks air conditioning…my peculiar chemistry [...]
Gone Fishin*

Sometimes when things get rough, you just gotta cry uncle. I’m gonna be taking a vacation from my online life – maybe a day, maybe a week – to give me some time to get my head screwed on straight (gayly forward.) Be seeing you… (* I actually think fishing is barbaric, so it would [...]
Feathers

There are times when I imagine that God is up in heaven, looking down with a “this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you” parental expression as he drops a single feather down towards the over-sized load I’ve already got slung on my back. It falls gracefully, blowing gently this way and that [...]

I remember seeing Fried Green Tomatoes for the first time in the early 90s. I can’t remember if it was at a theater, or on video, but I do remember falling in love. I had had a crush on Mary Stuart Masterson for just about ever, and she was her strong, beautiful, somewhat sullen self [...]

The morning’s still quiet here. The cats are just waking up, and so the chorus of panic over when their next meal will come hasn’t started yet. The kids and my husband are asleep, and the sky is blue-grey with little yellow streaks of sun just peaking through. I’m still trying to get over bronchitis [...]
My Heaven

An old man was walking alongside God in the clouds. God spoke, “So…er…Benedict was it?” “Yes, Sir…Your Grace, God, Ma’am,” the man answered nervously. God shined with such brilliant, beautiful light, it was hard to make out God’s true shape. “Benedict, my people tell me you claimed to be my messenger down on Earth. Is [...]
