Humankind Is On A Big, Fat, Time-Out
18 Mar 2020I had a thought over coffee. Humankind is on a big, fat time-out. I think we deserved it. Did you notice how we were treating one another? It’s been happening for years. The bickering, rudeness, downright meanness we showed our fellow women and men. I quit writing because, as a behavior-based writer, I couldn’t bear to […]

Living On The Margins
14 Dec 2018Some of us aren’t content with a simple, lovely life. We riot to live on the margins. Some of us can’t help but let life beat right through us, dancing in joy, writhing in disappointment , sticking its stiletto heels into our very souls. A friend wrote, “ I realize how lucky I am, to […]

Life Imitates Art
19 Sep 2012Welcome to my blog – Life Imitates Art. Oscar Wilde wrote in his essay The Decay of Lying: “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.” It’s an interesting perspective and a stimulating argument. I find parallels in life, work, art and human nature. It has always interested me. I often find it hilarious, […]
