Turning back a clock is easy, turning back time is impossible. Setting an intention is easy, sticking with it though….. Seeing another’s point of view is easy, understanding it isn’t. Identifying a good person is easy, being one is difficult. Longing to sleep well is easy, doing so is a challenge. The idea of love […]

Screen test
I think that I finally understand why I enjoy cooking shows. In a strange correlation, I also think I get why people like shows about true crime or serial killers. For me, shows about cooking expose the polar extreme perspective of food from mine. In general, aside from treating to some thing a little more […]
Reversal
We realize way too late in life, that everyone has fucked up so many times along the way, and that we should have applied way more grace, and far less judgment.
Circumnavigation
I remember being frustrated, many years ago. The conversations I had with my father seemed to repeat themselves. We would take drives, and end up discussing the same topics. For some reason, at a point, I decided to voice my thoughts about our discussions, and angrily asked, “why do we only talk about the same […]
Meteor
Why do I try to fit my world into your world? As if they were puzzle pieces, whose connection would form a perfect picture? As if they were compliments destined to enhance and support each other. Why would I believe that two souls would intertwine? As if we were two threads who were spun in […]
Stacked odds
It may seem that the odds are stacked against you. The truth is that if you really, really, want to achieve it, execute it, learn it, or complete it, you can. YOU, just don’t want it badly enough.

Is the foundation formidable enough to support the flooring built atop it? Are your walls thick enough? Do they keep out the cold, and […]
Blank page
Once, many years ago, I encountered a quote about writing. This quote, which I am slightly paraphrasing, went something like “The greatest tragedy in writing is the blank page.” Now I don’t know how true that particular statement is, although I can understand as a writer, the feeling involved in this statement or quote, relating […]
Yearning to go, compelled to stay
What would it matter if I go away? Most people don’t know I’m here anyway. There’s comfort in staying. And then there’s boredom. There’s fear in leaving. And then there’s freedom. There’s stability in staying. And then you stand still. There’s chaos in leaving. Then there’s the thrill. There’s familiarity in staying. Then it’s annoying. […]
Bagel life
Have you ever thought about which side of the bagel you prefer? Assuming, of course, that you like, or have ever eaten a bagel. Also assuming, that the bagel is sliced horizontally, and not vertically. I’m not sure why one would slice a bagel vertically, it would drastically reduce the spreadable surface which people use […]
