The things she thinks about . . . There is a crack in everything . . . that’s how the light gets in – Leonard Cohen. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. It always hits me like a gentle surprise – I’ll be taking a walk, early March, some icy patches on a road lined with gritty mounds that beg to be called something other than snow – when I hear them, those first birds of spring. Their singing stops me in my tracks. 8211; turns my attention from the red breast to the red head needling its way up the bark of a tree.

The things she thinks about . . . There is a crack in everything . . . that’s how the light gets in – Leonard Cohen. Thursday, February 4, 2010. Every Picture Tells a Story. I recently had the pleasure of participating in an art exhibition premised on the Greek notion of ekphrasis,. No Moment Will Ever Be like This One. Already nine and hungering to be nineteen. She picks up the pace again, comb and weave, comb and weave. Pictures her daughter at nineteen, braids gone, hair cascading to her shoulders.

The things she thinks about . . . There is a crack in everything . . . that’s how the light gets in – Leonard Cohen. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. Today they sit, though, wafers in a game not unlike those sleight-of-hand games that require very fixed attention – which cup is the ball under now? 8211; the mind doing its very best to keep from being tricked.

The things she thinks about . . . There is a crack in everything . . . that’s how the light gets in – Leonard Cohen. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. How Smart Is a Smartphone? A favorite. He was eighteen pounds at his most rotund, down to a healthy thirteen within months, doctor's orders, my ministrations. All of which begs the question: how smart really is a smartphone?

I listen for the sound of footsteps, the early morning signal that she's up and ready to go out. Rituals that take hold, thirteen years' worth in this case, are not so readily relinquished.
