I’m a nobody, until
I’m just a cackling controller (sit straight, listen, stop talking) Until I stop to look into your eyes It’s the wonder in them which makes me a teacher I’m just a watching monitor (settle down, take your things, write neatly) Until I stop and pay attention to your work It’s the magic in your hands that make me a teacher I’m...

Premium Member Childhood Image
Their smiles beamed, for they dreamed together, sharing Barbies, goodies, and even hands. Aware of my aloneness, it seemed I wasn't there; even Brown Bear didn't understand.

Love and loneliness
One day, a star said to the crescent in the sky, "How do the people of our homeland admire you so beautifully?" The crescent replied, "I have learned the ways of love and union, But you are distant from it, suffering in foreign lands." The star said, "I am also not happy with this homeland, They see me as just...

Premium Member Purple Butterflies and Raindrops on Roses
Purple Butterflies and Raindrops on Roses Open my eyes. See the window covered in tiny beads of wet. Hear the raindrops on roses that line the building. That isn't right. Why can I hear the soft beating of rain? Smell sulfur and smoke and ozone? I turn my head. Soft, cotton leggings of pink and...
