Rhinos on roller skates Who would create them? The skates, not the rhinos. Better yet, who would fit their feet? Would they come to the rollerskating store? If they did, would they trample the other customers? What customers? My aunt asks. No one shops anymore. Thanks to online shopping, I fear that she might be right. If I see a bunch of rhinos...

I once had this idyllic picture of children…in school…learning with their mates or outside playing together…running, jumping, laughing…riding on roller skates. But that idyllic picture has changed…it’s not so idyllic anymore…. as we’re faced with another school shooting…and parts of the world at war. In the midst of war…death comes quickly…lives are lost…hearts are broken In the instant death arrives…there’s...

Grandma can do it! Henry insisted. No one else knew it, but he persisted. Grandma laced up her skates and took to the road. She was terrific, her moves were all gold. She’d won the skating Olympic gold medal in ’04. Not 2004, honey, go back a hundred years more. What is keeping you alive? We asked Grandma Lee. Do not know,...

Feeling hopeless ?I lay frozen? No rescue in sight? Power within? Drained like my battery? On a bitter cold February morning? Asking for Help? I rose? With trembling hands? Reached out? The ice still blocking? Veins to my heart? Hide run away? An option long abandoned? One meeting? Share? Two meetings? Listen? Three meetings? Understand? Went to bed grateful? Love flowing now again?...

A taste for winter before it has neared. Like a taste, remembered by smell. Coats and scarves sitting alone, deserted in the summer light. Fingers stretch to feel the wool of gloves. Feet - free, running in the tall grass, Will soon break-in ice skates, Solid leather giving way to a practised grace. An icy reflection of...

With ice under your feet... The wind in your hair.. The freedom you have as you spread your wings.. Gliding along with no chains... Feeling like a star in the middle of a ring... feeling like a kid again with my ice skates on.....
