Fatal flaw
Moment of irreconcilable difference awakening
The downward spiral turning point

...

I am an old pair of scissors
After decades of loyal service
A little dull but willing
I submit to the sharpener's wheel
...

What might these old scissors have to say

Photo of an interspecies encounter
April 30,2009
The elephant and me

We add meaning to the mundane

Breaking News
Earth Rotates
Obscures Moon
Millions Plunged

Colors are there in the sunset not seen
Like your tethered enthusiasm

How colorful might you be

All souls fly alone to heaven
Each one with a light in their eyes
