How Do I Know?
So Many Questions. Did it ever occur to them that I don't know the answers? By "them" I mean my family. It goes something like this. Why did he have to die? It was his time. Why was it his time? He had so much to live for. He did what he came to do. What's that? Suffer? Live in pain? Die in pain? He...

Did I Ever Tell You The Story About My Brother . . .

I Went to See Madame Butterfly
It was such a beautiful opera. If you know the story of Madame Butterfly...then you know that it is a tale that is painfully bittersweet. But probably the most memorable part of the night...was when the tiny girl that played Madame Butterfly's son threw up on stage in front of hundreds of people....

I Love Marzieh's writing...it's rich and textured.
Among other loves is Scriber...a modern day Henry Miller...writing raw with language and descriptions. Holygrail..her writing places you in the moment, so you’re dirtying your own hands with the stain of blood. You can smell the fear, hear the laughter, and touch the flames of humanity when you read...

Remembering Conversations
It's hard to go forward when you want to go back. My brother was my favorite person in all the world, and selfish me finds it impossible to love anyone else right now. I want to love the rest of my family, but the person who meant the most to me is no longer here, and I fear without him, I'm just...

Ten Things to Make Your Life Happier
Ah...there was a list of ten things but... it got tucked in a pocket, dropped on the dirty ground, walked on by feet, dragged through the mud, crumbled and tossed, plucked out by a squirrel, tossed into a fountain, blown into the trees, left in the rain, dried by the sun, webbed by a spider, knocked...

My Brother Was Obsessed With Death
Did he know he was going to die? I remember calling my brother, usually after spending the day with my niece. I'd say, "You did an amazing job with her. When I have kids you're going to have to help me raise them, I'm going to be clueless." He laughed but said nothing. I continued on. (I tend to...
