The Man Who Danced with Pixies There was once a man named Leo who lived in a small, charming village nestled between rolling hills and whispering forests. The village was old—older than its stone paths, older than the stories carved into its buildings—and it valued what could be measured, proven, and repeated. Tradition was its spine. Certainty its shelter. Leo trusted neither. He trusted what could be felt. From the time he was a boy, Leo sensed a presence around him—not voices, not visions, but a gentle pressure of knowing, like a hand at...

Walking past the neatly trimmed yards of a neighborhood, driving past the fields of wildflowers across this country, shopping at stores with baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables, the smell of freshly tilled soil, to quote an old song "These are a few of my favorite things." All of my life the thrill of seeing these marvels of nature has filled me with immense joy, and pity.Self-pity. I have a "brown" thumb. My first gardening experience was way back in first grade. The Teacher gave each student a square plastic container, some potting soil...

The music seemed louder to her throbbing ears, the dancers seemed to be gyrating, jumping, and bouncing more than usual. She watched him silently drinking his beer. His leg nervously shaking under the table. She couldn't help but wonder why he seemed so nervous? Maybe he was feeling the difference in the scene as well?

Normally, not too loud, you could always hear and be heard while in a conversation. ...

Miri Anaan (pronounced Meeri Anon) has been my Librarian since I was a child. Her signature is on my first Library card. She has encouraged my love of reading since the very first book I borrowed. She is a striking woman, even now as she enters her Golden Years. Tall, trim, medium brown skin. Those that feel the need to be politically correct call her African American. She always laughs that off. A full hearty laugh, and says despite her admiration for that culture she isn't remotely African, some of the library patrons have asked her if ...

Fields of wildflowers, baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables, the smell of freshly tilled soil: to quote an old song "These are a few of my favorite things."I was raised in cities all over the world as the child of a United States Navy sailor. Some countries have multiple tropical forests filled with ferns, flowers, and the earthy smell of mud. Other countries are miles and miles of farmland, rice fields, coffee beans, and exotic fruits. Even in the busiest cities apartment balconies overflowed with potted plants and flowering bouquets. Our...
Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of summer... swimming, biking, and staying up late! Yes indeed Summer is the best season and mine were also filled with Packing, Moving, a New School, New Friends, then doing it all over again in just under twenty-four months. This was my life since I was born. I didn't mind too much as Mom made it all fun and Dad's career took us to some great places. Travel to Foreign countries is a great way to learn about the world and its inhabitants, their lifestyles and favorite things. Music and food seem to be the things held ...
