Of The Pen That Writes
Over a half century ago when I plunked our younger of less than a year into his crib for the umpteenth time, (he learned to climb out at nine months old), frustrated beyond measure, I shouted at him, ‘why did you choose me as your mother?’ And as I heard the words of my mouth…

Excerpt From The Last Bird Sings. . . . . . . .
Excerpt from The Last Bird Sings. . . . The one who chooses to come with an open head is the miracle among men. Are not all babies born this way and we masterfully close them up? The Teacher It is not the happy child who upsets the apple cart of the…

Life Everlasting
Life Everlasting Without ears to hear, he hears. Without eyes to see, he sees. With heart he understands the small musings of this limited mind. I can see, I say for this is mine. . . only with how I perceive this limited existence. Fair enough, for this time, I think,…
