Unnoticed
I’ve been thinking about things never thought about Not so much those undiscovered mysteries that stand in line expecting some day to be thought of But the little things, the silent majority of occurrences that pass into and out of existence as briefly and unsubstantially, and unnoticed as the shadows of a ceiling fan pass [...]
Glow In The East
At 2:00 this morning I was awakened by the sound of whimpering. I stumbled to the girls’ room and found Anna with the blanket over her head. She had had a nightmare – probably from the story I told them last night. Occasionally I get out of hand with my evening stories and it usually [...]
