The Sun Will Shine Again

As much as I’m uncomfortable with the dark, the space right before dawn, where dark gives way to light, where what was hidden becomes seen, is my favorite time of day.

Are We Going To Do This Thing?

When I was a kid, I was afraid of the dark. In all honesty, I’m not comfortable with the dark today. I tolerate being alone at night. I remember fearing monsters in the closet. Not so much under the bed–I always had the top bunk. But the closet held fears that increased as the house…

Grand Intentions; Gargantuan Goofs

I didn’t mean for it to happen. How many times in life have I said that? We had family over for a celebration. The kids determined they would cook dinner. A sweet gift to me. I’d rather play. The grands all wanted to go outside, so we trooped out back to see what trouble…
