Patience and All That

For something so pervasive, time is a slippery sucker.  Or perhaps we just don’t know how to be with time.  It’s one of the main ways in which we trip ourselves.  The situation isn’t what we need or even good for us, it’s a failure from the outset, it was misrepresented or we misunderstood what we needed, but we stay anyway. … Details

Overflowing

So far it has been a day of surprising tears for me.  Happy tears, mind you, but still. First, I was eating breakfast and doing the morning business routine when the news flashed across my screen: SCOTUS made gay marriage the law of the land in the US. … Details

Pieces Out of Order

It’s something we’ve all experienced at one time or another.  Netflix sends us the 2nd and 3rd DVD in the series, but the 3rd one arrives first.  We have to wait until the 2nd one arrives so we can watch them in order. … Details
