Still Sundays
I’ve always liked the time before dawn
because there’s no one around to remind me who I’m supposed to be,
so it’s easier to remember who I am.
~ Story People.
My friend am(Erica) sent me the aforementioned quote earlier this week. She knows that once it is finally summer I prefer to start the day quite early on Sundays. However, I believe and know, with enough practice we can carry Dawn with us throughout the day and anywhere.
I am grateful for the sun after what seems like weeks of cold rain and windy clouds in New York ... read more »

Still Sundays

The moon rode into Earthtown last night. I could hear its supersteps around midnight.
How wide are your shoulders, Time?
New York City is a funny bone of time zones. Usually when we are awake here the West Coast is still asleep and over the Atlantic people are ending the day. How many more ways can I be in between worlds?

I finally finished a fiction short story yesterday. It is 700 words over the submission guidelines but other than that it is finished. I could make it into two different stories I suppose: keep one for myself and the other one for submission. Or I could diligently ... read more »

Mirror Mirror on Stillness’s wall which Sunday is the truest of them all?
Last Sunday I was swimming in the lakes of nostalgia for certain places and this Sunday the present is all I could ever hope for.
Nostalgia, I hope you like the caricature we have created of you, a doodle of escapism framed in fad.
When I am nostalgic about certain places and times, it is without longing to “go back” unless I am desirous of being imaginative and want to go “back in time” to a period in which I was never born or participated. My nostalgia is more an impromptu tribute to all things for which there are no ... read more »

April 15, 2012.
It wasn’t until this weekend, last night, when I felt there really is something distinctive about this time of the year, particularly April 15th.
In 1865 on this day Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
The Titanic sank.
In 1927 a great American asset, the Mississippi river, became a tremendous liability when the sky fell down in the form of non-stop rain causing the river to burst and cause one of the greatest floods in American history.
In 1986 on this day American warplanes bombed Tripoli in retaliation of Libyan terrorism.
2012 seems packed with events but time is passing in slow motion. It is only April 15th and so much ... read more »

April fool’s day. Yes, let’s have a worldwide recognition day to reflect that we are all such fools. We know so little and therefore we have so many experts of Knowing!
I want the weather gods to say, “Just Joking!” I want to hear It is all just a hoax that it is December temperatures in April. There is no global warming heading to an ice age. “Please laugh already!” I want to hear from the cold front that lasts longer and longer each month every passing year. I don’t want historians to describe in words “what was once known as Spring”; I want future generations to be able to experience it. Somewhere.
