IN LIFE’S GREAT EQUATION Circling myself in a triangle spirit, Today I squared all my efforts, And my results doubled: I added good and got better, Subtracted evil, and got best; And when I cubed this, I achieved more-better-best:- As weird as it may sound, Rounding out everything, It appears that at day's end, I had a solid and blessed one: All praises be for my life’s...

I know making you less perfect won’t make me any better yet I can’t help it I fabricate your flaws in my head  as if it would make my own disappear  almost as if ruining you made me any better … almost as if making you imperfect made me as perfect as you —maybe I should learn to love my flaws instead of obsessing...

A soggy teddy bear lay on the shoulder of the highway— head twisted, limbs askew, its damp fur clinging to gravel and its sightless eyes beseeching heaven. I watched from the backseat, wondering if it was dropped in sorrow or thrown in rage, or left behind after something that didn’t leave anything else. Two women in white nightgowns ran across their front lawn on a frosty full...

Hello! Old friend, You crossed my mind today, After decades of no thoughts of you. Today, I sat across a meeting I'd rather avoid; Then I thought of you. I wonder what happened to the life of us. We were there, then we weren't; Too absorbed by the happenings. We didn't remember to preserve our sight of each other. My old friend, I thought...
