Never

Never. Never is a strong word, hard as stone, an all encompassing wall. Sure, when used in the name “Neverland” or songs like “Never Say Never,” it transforms into a mirage, because “All things are possible!” and “Don’t tell me

Goodbye Goldie

  Today was Day One of my life without Goldie. I woke up, showered, got dressed and came downstairs.  No one was there. Not even Mom. She was upstairs.  There was just… silence. No panting. No breathing. No paws walking

Spring & Summer 2015 Mix “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”  wrote Seneca the Younger (also featured in the song, “Closing Time” by Semisonic– the quote, not Seneca). These are seasons of ends and beginnings. Over the past couple
