“Ruffled feathers and endless squawking over a minor difficulty is typical of a crow’s life. I lean back on the counter and realize that could be my line….”
I have a weird streak, it’s true, I’ve been thinking about these things all morning, and I’m pretty sure it’s abnormal, or totally normal, which would really freak me out. I’m a little hesitant to ask what you think, but I’m going out on a limb, and suggest you leave a comment. Is it weird…to […]
I found my old pez dispenser today, I held it in my hand, as years of memories sifted through my mind like sand. I don’t remember why I thought this thing was so cool but clearly owning one was an asset in elementary school. The candy was sub-par but the way it dispersed through the […]
Living in the Gap is about my search for mindfulness (I realize this term is mindlessly overused), my struggle to live in the moment, and my evolving awareness of the irresistible present.

If I was an actress I would be Meryl Streep, not because she is stunningly beautiful, but because of her diversity as an actress! Given a good script and supporting cast that woman can play any character. (Have you seen her in Devil Wears Prada, “That’s all.”) I’ve always liked the idea of playing an alternative […]
The fall semester is officially launched, but like fat to a belly, I remain staunchly attached to the remnants of summer.
