I’ve been thinking about what I’ve introduced to the world, or even to myself, lately. What new thought? What new idea? What new person have I met? What new emotion have I felt? What new action have I taken? Frankly, living in my cocoon of isolation I’ve become lazy: mentally and physically. Tucked in… Continue reading Thoughts on Introducing Anything New

Legends are those stories, real and imaginary, we have heard since childhood about people, activities, events.

I raced to the kitchen, knowing what would be waiting for my 10-year-old fingers to eagerly grab.
