Well, in high school I was introduced to
my best friend’s girlfriend’s best friend.

Stop the Noise

NOISE-OFF

For a moment
turn off the noise
and listen.

No music.
No video.

Always a Rainbow…

“Always a rainbow”.
It’s one of my favorite things to say.
Still, let’s be clear; the tragedies
and tears are not out of sight;
I am not deaf to the cries of
those who have suffered loss.
Yet we have before us the opportunity of a lifetime;
