Visual senses trace intertwined white and red on a Sochi Coke, transporting my mind to an Irish adventure with my wee lil' nephew. Twelve at the time, he and I scampered through Dublin, exploring like curious leprechauns. It was his first European adventure, once pried from the terminal massage chair. I informed the wee ladContinue reading "Dublin With My Wee Lil’ Nephew"
Christmas Magic In Our Childhood Cabin
Dishes clanked beneath the quarter inch plywood under my pillow, as my Mom prepped for Christmas. Holiday dishes dosey-doed through sudsy water, below sleeping bag belly laughs. Wood stove heat rose through the grate, warming chilly Rudolph noses. Siblings and cousins of all shapes from different states, lay side by side beneath below zero bags.Continue reading "Christmas Magic In Our Childhood Cabin"
Luggage Tags Are Not Life Saving Articles
As frequently as security announcements interrupt sine waves throughout terminals across the globe, passengers say; "My bag had a ribbon on it. Flying friends, let me tell you an industry tip that could save you time and energy. We all have baggage... Some carry too much, placing zipper bursting emphasis upon external factors such as;Continue reading "Luggage Tags Are Not Life Saving Articles"
Left My Worries In The Wailing Wall…
Sanctity surrounding the Wailing Wall was severed by fluttering wings expanding and collapsing in the air, above torsos rocking in prayer. Feathered friends enjoying the air space danced between greenery, jutting from cracks in this massive wall. Their chipper tones echoed above the opposing solemn aura below. A divider sectioned men from the woman. TeardropsContinue reading "Left My Worries In The Wailing Wall…"
I Slept Under The Stars, On A Jerusalem Rooftop, Next To A Man With A Dolphin Tattoo
Sip Kosher wine, submerse toes into a Dead Sea bath, while I transport your imagination, beneath your yarmulke, to Jerusalem, Israel... The driver signaled my stop, with his pointer through the rear view. Door ajar, my traveling soles touched Israeli soil, for the first time. Hardly a recognizable bus stop, tires pulled away, leaving myContinue reading "I Slept Under The Stars, On A Jerusalem Rooftop, Next To A Man With A Dolphin Tattoo"
Tip Jars Stress Me Out
Tip jars stress me out. They wink at my wallet, from unusual crannies, not excluding public restrooms. I feel pressure, when peeing, whether I will tip the attendant, when she hands me a towel. Anxiety rises to the brim, when paying for coffee. Do I tip all my change, or stay true to my finances?Continue reading "Tip Jars Stress Me Out"
A Monk On A Scooter
A robe trailed in the wind behind an upright figure in motion, a monk was riding a scooter. A monk on a scooter has never wheeled through my imagination, it was adorable. A juxtaposition between a world of materialism, one of simplicity. Trying a new experience, I spent a weekend at a monastery, exchanging workContinue reading "A Monk On A Scooter"
My Love (of syrup)
Morning sun poured light over wooden porch beams, like syrup over a warm stack of pancakes. Warmth bounced into the kitchen where I met my first love...fancy grade A maple syrup. Golden comfort cakes flipped above a hot griddle, neighbors raw holstein milk settled in a jar, matching color with an adjacent stick ofContinue reading "My Love (of syrup)"
Altitude And Gratitude
His words brought comfort but it was challenging piecing syllables together with clarity. Comprehension caused enough distraction to transfer my focus to the simple act of walking. Two little words: altitude sickness. Dark clouds hovered in the distance in unknown direction, the day crept later. Step by step I told myself I could do it,Continue reading "Altitude And Gratitude"
Inspiration In 26.2 Different Shapes
26.2, what a horrid number! I barely achieve twenty-six minutes under my sneaks when I hit the pavement. Running and I are not best of friends. I rarely remember to stretch, thus impact from the sidewalk shoots electric shocks up my shins. After shin pain dissipates, cardio ache jogs into my lungs. At the firstContinue reading "Inspiration In 26.2 Different Shapes"
