Together,

In each other’s arms,

And oblivious...

The setting sun

Concrete sidewalk,

Tiny holes...

A creative force,

Brush strokes,

The gradual creation...

It’s travel day,

Again.

Saying goodbye...

There is a tall palm tree that we pass by on our morning walks. It’s not far from my parent’s house. My mother usually listens to the news, ....

He is a kind man

Embracing a path

Unimaginable...

Let’s escape.

Where to?

Anywhere...

There are days,

I feel rusty and out of place.

It’s most disconcerting...

I grew up on burgers:

Colorful, tasty, satisfying.

Cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce and more...

There are days when the train

Just doesn’t stop.

I cannot get off. ...

The waning sun

From my parents backyard.

The days come and go, ...

There is a tree,

Close to where my parents live.

Yesterday as my father walked by

Our neighbor is a simple man.

Always wearing a smile,

Ready to lend a helping hand. ...

Snow covered mountains,

Lakes,

Tiny pockets of humanity, ...

A brand new day,

Clean slate,

Endless possibilities. ...

Have you ever felt this way?

Alone,

In a hard world, ...

A full moon

On a clear summer night.

Nature, ...

Show this to my teenage kids,

I wonder if they’d know

What it is. ...

Many love the bitter flavor.

Give it to a child, and

The reaction is different. ...

Life is like climbing steps.

Every day, just a single one.

I need to remind myself: ...
