No Strings Attached
Today, I was reminded that kindness isn’t always received the way we expect it to be. I found myself in the middle of an unexpected moment, one where something as simple as encouraging kindness sparked frustration instead of understanding. Not because kindness lacks value, but because sometimes people are carrying more than we can see…

Journey’s – Part I – The House
My husband Frank dug a trail to the door. The snow was about three feet deep. When we pulled up, we were surprised to see that nothing had been shoveled — not even a thin path to the door. When the realtor arrived, he told us the key was in the back of the house.…

You
The street was alive this morning. Red lanterns were strung across the streets and rose towards the clouds with the morning breeze. Neon signs written with Chinese characters lined the street.

Juju
Juju ran up the block, he had no jacket on. His thin wiry arms moving like a swimmers over the cement sidewalk. Moving through a range of strokes over the cement sidewalk he approaches, running, frantic. Juju sees me going through the gate of my house and runs towards me. Caro, Caro, save me. I…

Orange Zest
Orange Zest I looked down at the orange in my hand. The clean fresh scent drifts up and encircles me. An orange hug, a fresh embrace. The peel in my hand is bright and thick and colorful. It’s skin when scraped against the grater yields, zest. Rubbed raw against the grater, the outside is sweet,…
