  Colored thoughts

  Last evening I sat down for dinner with an old friend by huge glass windows that overlooked the patio of the eatery we were at.

  Sepia toned. Warm.

  Logging into work bright and early, I place my fingers at the feet of the tiny pillayar at my desk and touch it to my eyes. Like I do on days when I feel happy. Or sad. Or in need of reassurance. I turned and spied a new addition to my desk. A picture of…

  Yes! We Can!!

  Watching the election results trickle in and like magic just past the 11:00 hour, the screen on my TV flash “Barack Obama elected the 44th President of the United States”, I could feel goosebumps on my skin. Sure was a historic moment. Not so much for the race part. Yes it does matter but for…

  Full circle

  The golden morning Rays of sun slant my way Overhead noon I fear the brightness Slanting sun I wish you could stay Darkness nears I long for dawn
