Tale Of A Broken Coccyx
The airborne fluff from the cottonwood trees surrounding the lake across the road gives the impression that it is snowing on this very warm and sunny day. Though I can't see the tree itself from here, it makes me happy to know it is there. It takes me back to my childhood home and the huge...

The Fourth Day
The First Day, the words flowed and my fingers tapped across the keyboard telling what was on my mind that was important to me and I felt interesting for someone else to read. It needed very little editing. All it needed was a little photo that I had taken last year, and it was tucked away in my...

Phil Has A Job
He cannot speak. At least he can not form words or voice his mind, but he speaks with his eyes, his expressions, his body language, his smile, his laughter. I have never seen a person not smile back at him or get angry at him, or desire to mistreat him. Curiosity is the worst reaction I've seen and...

I Really Am Old
I really am old, aren't I? I don't see myself that way in my mind. Most of the time I don't feel that way.

One Of A Kind

Letter To A Far Away Loved One
"Darling One. Auntie Nila stopped by a bit ago. I greeted her with my usual happiness at her visits. She is such a sweetie. But somewhere into her visit, the atmosphere changed from sunshine to tears. How can this be? It was supposed to be "happy ever after" after your last bout with hospitals and...
