http://www.flickr.com/photos/yevkusa/Writing on subway poster for Coalition for the Homeless Why are the homeless such a touchy subject in New York?New Yorkers have adapted to ignoring those asking for help on the sidewalk or in a subway car. It becomes a routine disengagement when you pass by the same people everyday. Avert your gaze. Don’t read […]

Doppelgangers

…whenever someone compares me to someone else (especially celebrities). It’s because I’ve been compared more to personalities than faces. I suppose people think they are giving you a compliment.

Haiti

“We are all human, and share many things, but many times we come together only in tragedy and not in celebration.” That’s what I heard one speaker say as I passed a crowd gathered in support of Haiti. Crowds are like a giant magnet for me. (I once read a quote saying that if curiosity […]

Early morning noise

Unpleasant dreams, by definition, are nightmares.   It takes too long to forget a smile. It feels like there have been so many smiles. So many wrinkled eyes in a laugh. Sight isn’t even the strongest link to memory, how about that one?   Good, good morning.

underwater

Cold water splashes, pulsing against my body. The sun heats my shoulders. I take one step in and the ocean pulls me in for another.It beckons. I want to float. I want to feel the waves under me, they push above.One slams from my left and the undertow pulls me out. Farther away, my feet […]

Moments in life

Hello November.

Although it is beautiful now, November is always an annoying month for me. It’s always too indecive between fall and winter. I hate when it gets real cold and I have to put on more than a jacket. Too many layers to worry about; too many hats to keep track of. November also means that […]
