  • My Life as a Squirrel

    Posted on Sunday December 13th, 2009 at 10:13 in self-awareness

    After several weeks of rain and overcast skies, the sun finally shone. And for a winter’s day, the temperature of the air was surprisingly balmy.I suddenly noticed dozens upon dozens of tiny, moth-like insects, their wings silvery in the sunlight, ...

  • A Sense of Purpose

    Posted on Monday November 23rd, 2009 at 16:19

    Five tiny fingers, each but an inch long. I remember how they used to curl around one of mine, gripping with all the prehensile power of that old monkey gene. The rosebud mouth, in sucking movements. Eyes tightly closed. What was she seeing in her dr...
