I saw a presumably homeless man today near the freeway with a cardboard sign. You’ve seen him before, or his relative, or his clone. It breaks your heart. You can’t help but wonder where he sleeps. How he got there. But for the Grace of God, what if that were you? His sign said : […]

Perhaps my favorite poem ever — for you: How shall I hold on to my soul, so that it does not touch yours? How shall I lift it gently up over you on to other things? I would so very much like to tuck it away among long lost objects in the dark in some […]

Okay, mea culpa. The title is deceiving here. Don’t get your panties in a sling. Some of you might want to know if I ever heard from “the Tyrone”. See former blog post if you don’t know to what I am referring. I think I will have to add him as a category here because… […]
