Love

- When first I moved to the city I knew I'd relish life boxed inside those walls. I knew that poems would come and that life would be lived with intensity. I knew so much of what would happen but so little of the particulars. One can imagine at the sea that the waves will be wet and that the sky will be open. One can imagine the moods will fluctuate. However, to set camp on the beach one learns the ...

- I've been thinking about love.When I worked as a Customer Services Coach on a Call Centre many years ago, I started to notice something. I became increasingly fond of the people I coached.I became fond of them, whether I liked them or not. This fondness seemed to grow as I got to know them better. The more I saw of their struggles, the more I could understand that their less attractive traits ...

- Okay, here it goes. Forgive me if I jump around a bit. I get excited when telling this story. I was sitting atop a picnic table outside of the "Charlie" company barracks in Fort Devens, MA (now an industrial park due to the military cutbacks from a government that felt the world had finally established peace and why have all these army bases?!....uh huh) and I saw ...

Deary, deary me.Let me expand on this before you jump to any wild conclusions. A few years ago, an older couple who had an interest in buying our property, ...

- Why should I say goodbye? I won't; I just won't...If we have met, we will meet again, sometime, some place--even if after death...For only death has separated me from those to whom I couldn't say goodbye. My Mom quietly went in her sleep, thankfully. A boss and friend who had been my mentor died and I learned about it from his wife. Those that I have loved who died, I wait to see again.So why ...

- The Diamonds and Rust Series is a trubute to all the people I never said goodbye to. I gave up my first love for a boy, and boy ... did I regret it. But there's a valuable lesson about relationships in this true tale of a boy and a horse that started long ago. I was born a cowgirl, but my range was a glass littered parking lot. My horse, a bicycle I made my daddy paint white. There was no ...

- How do I speak this tale of a once bleeding heart, my dear fellow human beings on this trying and often complicated journey called life? Indeed, the unwavering affirmation of life's spiritual dimension got me through in God's loving care. Sometime, during early 2002, in Geneva, Switzerland, I got the devastating pill of race and colour based rejection plus unreciprocated love from an Argentine ...

- Several times now, I have mentioned this book I have written, and my lack of luck in finding a literary agent, but to date have failed to mention that which inspired such a story. So, first, I guess I must say that it was a portion of my life that I have used within the story. Then, by bringing in the fiction, the imagination, and basing the novel on my knowledge of what I learned ...
