Love the Hustle

Play Beethoven for me, he says begrudgingly, like I know my classics. This is a dating +plus one, arm around the waist, hold hands tactic. What if the hustle was love, not money? In the evening, a book on the patio, a candle to light, a nocturne to play softly, melanch0ly, aching, alone again but […]

Austin isn’t Denver.

We start a new day. The dew smells like a dog. Breakfast begins & we turn to each other saying, “I’m a turtle, too!” Speaking of landlocked states… & That’s all, though the words long as days of hot, fire, burning summer. alongside a masked disguise of ~bummer, dude~ We sit in the break of […]

Love Endures All Things

Can we play outside? Is recess tertiary in a list of values and primary needs? Let me go. FAQ: Let’s storyboard […]

El Condor Pasa

Simon and Garfunkel sang, “I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail.” The best ones cultivate love, they fly, soar. Sometimes lessons are excruciating. What a marvelous human our world lost this year – last week. Piercing pain. I will miss Eric for all time. A long time. Decades ahead, he will be in my […]
