“life is not just about the good things
or not just about the bad things. it is both.
it all depends where you focus your attention.”

happy trails, nacho.
and
as suddenly as
nacho the cat not the food
stepped into our lives
and became family
he has exited once more.
–
last night he slept
calm and close
purring and cuddling
warm fur soft and gentle.
tonight it will be quiet.
–
we are made better
for having known him
and
he’ll be
remembered for
his sense of humor
his friendly ways
and
his love of life.
we will all miss him dearly.
–
adios amigo.
until we meet again.

life is too short for traffic. ~dan bellack
there is something wrong with this.
it’s like starting out your journey
by surrendering to the inevitable traffic jam,
knowing you’ll be frustrated and angry.
what about making
a tiny carry-out espresso cup
instead
that reads:
“just a quick shot to enjoy
as we’re sure you will
soon be arriving
at your destination?”
i could really go for that.

window.
short stories are tiny windows into other worlds
and other minds and dreams.
they are journeys you can make to the far side
of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.

men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science. ~ralph waldo emerson
it was science day
we made
solutions and color swirls
learned about buoyancy
floated and sunk things
then
we met
two big horses
a baby cow from scotland
a ball python
and
came back to our room
where we met
a friendly silverback gorilla
and an anthropologist
who told us all about him
and he shared
his celery snack
and one of
the best discoveries of all
was when we found out
all on our own
that we could
make secret forts
under the big kid’s science table
it was so great
to have a special day for science
but then every day
is really science day
if we just look around.
I didn't have my glasses on....
