I don’t know how you hold onto anything. There could be a perfectly logical, scientific explanation for holding. But it is beyond my grasp. Don’t ask me how a TV really works or a computer. I wouldn’t even know about an abacus. Who figured it out in the first place? All of us, through...

Some days are Wednesdays
There’s frequently no way to know when you’ll run into a day of the week that is difficult. Unless of course you can plan your difficult days in advance. There is a lot to be said for planning. Wednesdays are sometimes called ‘over the hump’ days for those people challenged with the soul and...
Cracked eggs

A starfish’s tubular feet climbing the trees, just walking up the trees like an inch worm from the sea. All the tubes of the starfish feet, clear, translucent. Seemingly having a life of their own. I read the fur of a polar bear is tubular and translucent. Though it doesn’t look that way. But...
