The Common Man
The common man survives quietly.He rises before the sun has decided what kind of day it will be. He pulls on yesterday’s tired shoes, carries tomorrow’s worries in his pockets, and goes to work beneath the weight of bills, promises, and mouths that must be fed. No trumpets sound for him.

To Be—Anyway
To live or give up—that is the question.Is it better to keep taking every hit life throws,or to finally say, I’m doneand end the pain for good?Dying sounds like sleep—quiet, peaceful, no more stress,no more heartbreak, no more pretending everything is fine.But what if death is not the end?What if something comes after,and it is…

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A DRAGONFLY?
Have you ever seen a dragonfly? I have. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. That dragonfly soared to heights previously unknown. They were beyond grasp. Unattainable. Not because of self-limitations but by other’s constraints. But Lord, when she spread her wings — if you could have only seen that DRAGONFLY! I…

Getting to know me
“Who Are You?” I remember about 15 years ago my cousin asked me that very question. I began with: I am a mother, a wife… She stopped me immediately. She told me that those were a list of titles, not who I am. I was perplexed and though I tried, I had a hard time…
