On any given day, they come…memories, playing like movies in my head.
I Know How You Feel
It took almost 30 years, a random sentence and an impromptu visit to an old friend’s grave to make me realize what I did that day and to show me how far I’ve come.
The Story of Depression, Struggle, and Befriending a Dog
Here is how a writer found his peace in the midst of chaos. It is the story of a young writer, struggling to keep up with his passion, while surviving a mental storm. Read how the Universe answered his questions through the means of a speechless animal.
Death of a Neighbor
Today, we watched his body being removed from the house he no doubt lived in for decades. Yesterday, I noticed that he hadn’t been outside, and I wondered innocently enough if he had “gone on vacation or something.”
How My Students and I Still Impact Each Other’s Lives
My response to the second thank you was to sit at my computer and cry. It’s been a decade since last I taught, but it was apparent that I had left an impression on this young man. When you leave teaching, it’s difficult to see the impact you have on students’ lives once they leave your school.
A Real Slice of Budapest Life
There, in the shadows of a building that dated back to the Soviet occupation, by the look of it, she smoked as I sipped beer. But chatting about our day of exploring the city, we weren’t expecting the slice of Budapest life that was about to unfold.
And we would have missed it completely if our accommodation plans had worked out as intended.
Move Over, Laughter – Crying is the New Best Medicine
For years, I fought the urge to cry. Thankfully, I’ve recently discovered what I’ve been missing.
The One Question Sure to Make Every Unemployee Cringe
I was hopelessly naive about unemployment but confident that I would use the time off for worthwhile activities like meditating and checking items off my whiteboard list. Several months later I had still not written the great American novel, given a Ted talk, or become a beekeeping hobbyist.
An Odyssey to Oz
I’ve embarked on diving excursions in the Galapagos Islands, Cuba, and Mexico, but the Great Barrier Reef boasts the most colourful coral I’ve seen anywhere, and a host of reef life, including sea turtles, minke whales, dolphins and clownfish, not to mention a 7-foot whitetip shark who, “checked me out”…
A Life Without Gods – The Devil You Don’t Know
It’s remarkable how little the term “atheist” tells you about someone. The one thing it does tell you is that we are not convinced of the existence of a god. But we believe in lots of things. It might be worth having a conversation to learn more about each other. Perhaps a dance with “the devil you don’t know” and you might find we have a lot in common.
