2. Faith tried under fire

I’m not angry. Fearlessness was always my weakness. Being careful was my strength. Only now I realize that “fear” on that fateful day was my teacher. I had dispelled it with pride. “I’m spiritual!” I said fearlessly. “I’m not afraid of getting Lyme disease.” But I felt a twinge of discomfort when I’d said it. […]

3. The Collective Experiences That Become a Drama

What would I do if I did not tell my stories? I might be “asleep” in life.  But even in sleep my stories dance in my mind. They wait. They hear my “voice.” That “voice” is a part of them. Where soul and chance meet, in their midst are cinematic images. They must be given an account in […]

4. The Making Of Sir Willow

7. Change is in the air

A lot of birds have flown away. It is very quiet now. Like the days, the time of birdsong is getting gradually shorter in length. They are getting ready for the new season. The cold air has settled in. Summer is over. Change is coming. Being prepared and moving on from what will no longer […]

8. Empty Nest Syndrome?

It was two days later, when I had returned from a brief two day hiatus that I noticed the QUIET.  Where was the traffic? Where were the sounds of scolding chatters and abrupt churrs? Where were the cries for food?  Then I realized…the Wren family had flown the coop.  I looked inside, sorrowfully, as our […]

13. Mr. and Mrs. Wren Reconsider

Up until now Mr. and Mrs. Wren, being secretive types, avert my glance and slip past whilst I watch in vain for days. Today, however, Mr. Wren darts with pride openly along the railing, stealthily hopping and twitching so as to thwart any oncoming threat while so disposed. Then stopping directly in front of me, […]
