Winter
The morning is quiet and the sky is dark. I look out the window across the way and point out the lights in the distance. Look at the star in the sky, I say to my husband. It’s the north star he says. Yes, I smile. It’s the Northstar. The morning sky is dark…

Patriarchy
The interesting thing about people who participate in anti-social behavior is that they They never view it as anti-social. They consider their actions appropriate.

Fall
The geese have taken up residence by the house. They love to sit under the apple trees. Our dog is intent on chasing them so we keep him on a lead to give them space. They were under the front window this morning and we watched them pick at grass and seeds for breakfast. They…

Resist
It took me a minute to process. I was driving her home. She blurted out, they told me not to be friends with you. They said you are no good. I told them, that’s a lie, you are good. I turned and smiled at her. Sometimes we are around friends and sometimes we are not.…
