Hawks

Hawks A hawk flew overhead as I stood speechless in the open field breathing in the scent of pine trees and clipped grass. It flew quite close, a mere twelve feet from the top of my head and I looked up to see its sleek belly as it swiftly soared away into the infinite azure sky. I wondered if it was checking me out to see if I was fit for dinner, but then realized as I lifted my head that I was far too cumbersome to carry in its sturdy yet rather small beak.

The Script

Are we, somehow, like actors in a play leading our lives based on a script written so long ago? We act out each scene at the director’s command, and at the end of the night we face our real selves, alone with our thoughts. We awake each day prepared to enact the same, familiar roles if only to gain the audience’s approval. Yet what will become of you and me when the curtain comes down for the final time?

White Butterflies

When I think of you a white butterfly appears, perching on leaves of a fresh patch of mint, crawling among the rows of herbs. Sometimes it flies off as swiftly as it flew in and simply leaves me with a smile and a warm set of fine memories to last. …
