Everything is Buddha-full in its own way-ay I can’t help but be silly today Pronouncements are bounding out of my fingertips before I can censor them. Maybe it’s the season. Summer is a release from winter pushed by the green green fuse of spring. Sure, that’s a lot like Dylan Thomas. What is more...

hummingbirds humming along
It shouldn’t come as a surprise every year. It should be expected. It’s fleeting and languorous and that’s just what gets to me all the time. How can summer be gone, fall finally fledgling cold and yet it still comes as a wake up call.? Well, maybe as a call to stay under the...
Counting glories
There’s been times I have been in love with spring and fall. Those were surprising days considering summer is really it for me. It has been it for my whole family as well. Until recently I never thought of families being identified with one season over another. To be honest I never thought of my birthday...

Corms on the wire
The first time I became aware of cormorants they were hanging out on the jetty in Provincetown Harbor. They seemed as if they were coated in oil. Their feathers, which hardly look like feathers, eminded me of the old fashioned oil cloth table covers. They’re great swimmers and move underwater like seals. That’s where...
Time and tide pools
The ebb and flow of the tide isn’t as symmetrical as I first thought. There’s a different tide each time but the coming and going remains the same.
Spring
I had an inkling last summer of what this would be like, to admit truthfully, to myself or others it didn’t matter, how I really felt about the summer now. I’ve changed. When I was growing up in Newark, I longed for summer with an intense passion. Everyday a communion with the season...
Water, memory, summer – hurry up will ya?
The connection came through this crack – water and memory. What does a writer do? The most significant is to remember. Why, I don’t know. If I were to give reasons now I think they would all be false. Sort of full of the bravado of a person, let’s say Palladin, “Have gun,...
Peeling shallots
I was peeling the shallots and remembered that someone recently told me that’s why they don’t use shallots, they hated peeling them. Their flavor is subtle but onion. They make other foods better. They’re a soft onion, a minor key in the onion family. My mother never cooked with them. They’re fancy. They’re expensive here....
