Soft Power
I had an incredibly sustaining and supportive dream the other night. I was being chased by Nazis. (Yes, I did say sustaining and supportive.) My cats Bugs and Barney came to my rescue. This was my unconscious shaking its booty, … Continue reading

Savoring Every Second
Those of you who know me, know I’ve made a life-long project of re-crafting myself. At the moment Bugs found me – at that very moment – I found myself not much liking whom I’d turned into. Wanting to become … Continue reading
Assurance : The Work
I mentioned I wanted assurance. Ease, solace, soothing. For all of us, beans and cat-beings alike. I now see, in my golden years, that I need to loosen my grip on that ’60’s flower-power pipedream. This flower doesn’t grow by … Continue reading
