"Be like that bird there in the live oak," Gary told me over the back fence. "Don't overthink your decisions. Take action but don't fall in love with any one particular outcome. You'll get your supper sure enough. What difference does it make if it's a worm or a cricket?" "Well, there's the texture thing.…

So here's the latest: Sunny has a hard time getting a good night's sleep. The "recurrings" are a regular thing now and Sunny says she has two scenarios: the dream where she's in the forest and descends a long spiral staircase, and the one in the rundown mansion with the strangers who wander from room…

Gray is a mainstay. Embrace stained fingers in the fight to keep the strands of truth covered up. Prepare to dance despite the snaggletoe and dizziness. Do mind the bones that scrape against bone and the sneak attack to the lower back. Everything tastes like chicken which is terrible for grapefruit growers. Last night's dream…

Christmas had come and gone, and Marnie pondered hard on what she thought of 2014. She made a friend. That pretty much concluded her year-end wrap-up. Making friends was no easy feat for Marnie.

Dig in. Make the stuffy nose run like a tiger's at its heels. Singe the tip of that sickly thick tongue. Piquant peppers will get you to knock back the water you refuse to drink. It's cold and flu season and you rub up against, and kiss on the lips, every virus that crosses your…

Temples aren't impressed with my insistence they look nicer in a rich truffle brown. No amount of color can penetrate the tenacious grays that scream: Here comes a woman of a certain age. Mature! Seasoned! Older! All well and good. Tell it to my failing sight and arthritic knees. The bunions are lovely, too. Scowly,…

A promise to eat something green during the Yuletide season is a noble goal. Based on personal experience, there are plenty of December pitfalls which quickly turn into New Year's Resolutions: I mustn't…I must…I need to…I want to…Less of one thing.More of another. When darkness comes early, and a little light is much needed medicine,…

Henry's obsession with the past was far from healthy. The past clouded his judgment and deadened his senses. He no longer recalled the taste of tea, or the cooing of the mourning dove. All was ripped out by the roots. Henry blamed himself for the family's troubles; he was the reason a mighty house fell.…
