[/lightbox]This morning it was the tulips and the bay

And the city tide will flow in and steal my day

[/lightbox]When I was a young teenager my mother taught me a very valuable lesson about friendship. I had just entered middle school and badly wanted to befriend a group of girls whose attention I could not attract. “Don’t try”, counseled my mom.

[/lightbox]The Monarchy is the Hollywood of The British Isles. I could pretend that I am immune to the frivolity of pop culture, but in fact, I find it to be the ultimate brain drain.

Curled into the sun
Transforming the tree and me to a place of poetry… Read More
