Humanity
Crisp Air to Remember
Sometimes I would think about you. The way we were children and you gave me laughter and real friends. The way you made every fall and winter feel warm. And most of all, the variety you offered; creating a sense of belonging within everything new and intimidating.

Why is a Larger Human Population Better?
We live on a planet with abundant resources, but they are not unlimited. There is a point where's the Earth's population will outstrip the available resources to sustain life. Many starving unsheltered Earthlings probably believe we have reached that point already.

Time can only tell
I know I sound like I am off my rocker on this theory. I understand what everyone one is going to say about how time does exist and that there is proof. Well my friend, you would be absolutely correct in society's way of life. Let me explain and then you can be the judge of it. I am not trying to persuade you into thinking I am right and everything you learned is wrong. This is just my theory and my opinion about time.

Venison — The Stuff of Life
The .270 barked and the small buck moved unsteadily. Something foreign had just punched into its side. The deer attempted another step and fell forward; it would expire in 30 seconds. The shot had overwhelmed his system and the brain would shut everything down momentarily. It drifted into unconsciousness and passed away painlessly.

The Foodie
1. There's been another car accident at the intersection up the street. I heard the shriek of hastily braking tires and the booming smash of metal on metal a few minutes ago as I was slicing a reddish-green heirloom tomato to put on my French-style open faced brie-on-sourdough breakfast sandwich. I don't want to let the toasted bread get cold, but I have to go see if anyone is hurt. So I throw on my fuzzy black coat and take my sandwich with me as I walk the half block to the north. A fair compromise, I think.

It’s Not Over…
In the beginning, growing up Monique always felt different from her family and the world around her. She was a curious youngling whom would keep her eyes in the sky and wonder what was out there. Yearning for more in life, while feeling out of place. Young enough to know she couldn’t fly on her own, but wise enough to know that there were endless possibilities to life and what could become of her. Monique often wondered why she chose to ascend from her stardust-self to an earthly being and select the family she channeled into, given the dis-functionality and historical trauma she would inevitably need to overcome.

When You Can't Keep Your Thoughts to Yourself
I’m about to say it out loud. All the thoughts I've been thinking concerning two global issues bugging me. Maybe someone else ‘outed’ their thoughts in another forum, another corner of the world. Chatted about it in a quaint café to an enrapt listener. Presented a PowerPoint to infuse community activism.

A Healing Story
Sally's heart felt both tender and full today. There was a little ache where she felt the feeling of missing her grandmother. She felt many feeling right now and had many thoughts and questions. At times during the past few days she felt teary and tiny water falls of tears flow. Then she felt relief for awhile.
