I never read anything like it before. At least I don’t recall. I am sure that it has happened often but I never read anything like it before. It just stopped me cold. It sent a chill up my spine. I literally shuttered. The obituary told the story of a once prominent person. A person […]
About Paul
I.S.H.G.
I think it is the innocence of it all that always gets me. The ladybug or princess or butterfly costume that the little ones wear as if the universe depended on it. You watch as they walk up to the door and shyly says “trick or treat”. Innocence. What a concept. Sincerity. What a thought. […]
The hidden place
I remember the day we first saw her. She needed a lot of work. She was neglected. She needed attention and some family to really care for her. The kids were little then. She was so big and had all kinds of hiding places. We got Cheyenne then. This sweet golden retriever slowly took over […]
The wave, the sea wall and the gift
The moment was powerful, awe inspiring, frightening and chilling. The two of us decided to take a morning walk on the beach. The storm was long past us but the ocean was still aggressive and the waves were bigger than we had seen in a long time. So my friend and I left the warmth […]
The edge of discovery
The Razor’s Edge. What a great book. It was made into two movies. But it is the book that I revisit every few years. The story is deep and textured but, in the end, it is about the choices we all make in our lives. We find ourselves on the edge of decisions. We find […]
278 in red
I found the hat. Ever just go crazy for some item that is meaningless to everyone else but hits you just right. Nonsensical yet for some reason touches you somewhere you just can’t explain. For me it was this hat. Then I thought I lost it. Tonight it was found. Okay…I know not earth shattering […]
A gentle gesture
It was just so sweet. I mean really sweet. He held his hand out to help her, she took his hand and they held hands the entire way across the street. Once across they thanked each other and went their separate ways. I watched as this simple moment played out. For some reason small moments […]
The ageless bookshelf
It kind of happened by accident. There was some planning but not really. It just took shape over the years. As I sit in the den and look at the bookcase my eyes wander the collection of things placed here and there on the shelves. We all have those places. Those shelves. Those stories. A […]
Lost or found
There is this barbed wire fence. It is built high. It is rolling barbed wire spun around wood posts and metal stakes. It is wide too. Too wide to high jump over. A fall would place you in great harm’s way. The fence separates the present condition from the future possibility. It is there so […]
The way we still are
We sat having our semi regular lunch. Aren’t good friendships the best. Easy. Simple.Relaxed. Open. Supporting. Fun. Honest. Respectful and caring. After lunch we strolled over for our Starbucks drink. We sat and the conversation made its way to the great song…The Way We Were. The way we were. Well it got me thinking about […]
