This word rolling through my head, several images, thoughts coming to mind. EDGE. Hmm, maybe it's the opposite: Several images, thoughts rolling through my head, and this word comes to mind. Another dinner gone sideways, everyone animated about things mostly other than the plate of food in front of them. Stumble, struggle through -- I …

In Parallel
One of my favorite concepts from geometry, imagery still floats in my head all these years, decades later. Parallel lines drawn with a ruler and pencil, precision work. Must have my dad's influence when I was a kid; he was a math teacher. I think of "parallel" in other context: Often we work in parallel …
12 days of Christmas and the Last Weekend Before School Starts
The kids and I, we’ve been camping in the back yard every weekend since the 4th of July. It’s been great fun. I’m delighted they say “Yes!” every weekend I’ve asked them if they want to do it again. It’s a great example of their maturity, dealing with the sounds and mild discomfort and sometimes …

Ocean Therapy
I always seem to forget the value, the worth, the peace, of Ocean Therapy. Just being there, that’s all it really takes. The breeze, the water, the sound, the constant, demands attention, quietly, consistently, relentlessly there, of of it, insistent. How long could I sit there? One hour, six, twelve? Sun up until sunset? Waiting, …
Moonlight
Moonlight, bright light, midway in the sky. Bright light begins the journey east to west, near full, light the way. Six year old says it shines because of the sun, reflecting, her sister told her so. Bright light in the night sky, light the backyard campsite, keep us company throughout the night. Keep us company …
Some Devil, Some Grace
It’s a particular feeling, a particular strength needed, when your partner is struggling. When she struggles, it effects you, no wonder; how can it not? Those who don’t feel it, maybe they don’t feel, the same. When your partner struggles, seems put out, spun out, you’re on the outs too. He doesn’t want what you …
