There are times when we question our own sanity and believe you me the times I have questioned my own have come up many a time. However, in times like these when the economy is on the brink of something (ruin or reignition?), my mother is hooked up to machinery that is helping her to “live”, I’m running an ad for adoption that appears just above grave sites for sale, and a family member has…
Today in step class as I did knee lifts and then arabesques and revolutions, and listen to the instructor yell WOO, I thought that I might be in some sort of experiment bubble where aliens have given us more food than we should eat and then threw in some wine and now fat, we get on the hamster wheel and churn churn churn it out. Are they laughing at us?
I wonder if god was one of us whether god’s life would be a series of routines like walking the dog, drinking tea, going to work, exercising, eating, taking a shower, and bed.
We were invited to friends last night for dinner – we usually loathe to leave the house on Sunday but had been turning down invitations for too long. We had a wonderful dinner of salad with lemony vinaigrette, homemade pasta of ham and mushroom lasagna, and afterwards a chocolate bomb souffle, not to mention good conversation. Sometimes it is worth leaving the house.

T is an academic – they live outside the normal workaday world in their tempo. She reclines to read most of the time. I’ll be jetting through the house going from here to there almost at Loca speed and she’ll say come sit here with me or lay down here by me and I’ll just look at her as if she landed from Mars. Similarly, my mother was always telling me to sit a spell,…
William Faulkner said he titled his novel Light in August after sitting on his back porch with a glass of bourbon and seeing the summer light shine through the nut colored alcohol. I say that very light he saw is actually October’s light because of its softness. This morning, the Museum in the park was ringed by an autumn glow caused by the rising sun and it was reflected into the glassy lagoon like a…
We were in the car with friends on Saturday and passed a bride in full regalia getting into a car and our friend said, “Isn’t it lucky to see a bride?” And we said, hey why not? Today, I was walking Loca through City Park and we came upon the tree that sits in the middle of the lagoon without any leaves – there are actually two, each on a little island. One is where…
Today, just about noon, T and I poured an ice cold beer and went outside on the front porch. The weather was perfect. The bayou was glistening in the sun. The very air seemed to sing Sunday in all of its relaxed, unstressed, calmness. And we toasted to our wonderful life and the love that surrounds us and whispered our wish that a baby join us on that porch very soon.
