Birth of a chieftain

Pride. This is my first emotion. For that matter, my first anything. I just was and then became aware of this strong, overpowering thought. Then, warmth and darkness. Then, love and tenderness. Yet, pride is always there, everywhere – the pride of being who I am. I hear a thumping sound nearby – thump, thump, […]

Thoughts – A poem

I saw a child blow bubbles in A park the other day A gentle breeze then picked them up And moved them far away. As I continued watching him His eyes alight with love, My mind was with the bubbles as They drifted far above. I saw one bubble rest upon A green-kissed patch of […]

A caged bird

In a land among other lands one day, maybe never, lived a shah. He was a powerful shah – his kingdom was the jewel of the entire region, his friends loved him, his enemies feared him. He was a very rich shah who was like a god (not God, mind you) in his land and […]

Hmmm…

Yesterday I had a “date” with my niece Becky (she prefers to go by Rebecca as she is an adult now but I am not changing my ways). Once in a while, she and I get together for dinner or movies or both. Yesterday, by the time she got into the city, it was too […]
