marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Miserable Elephant
"Are you married?", Ernest Hemingway asked the bartender as he poured him another double bourbon. The famous middle-aged novelist had been sitting there alone opposite this fresh-faced twenty-something for about ten minutes, and the two men, both at very different stages in their lives, were sharing the quiet ambience and soft amber lighting of the lobby bar inside the Sherry-Netherland hotel.

A stroll down memory lane
Our journey began when my best friend and I started on the lane in which we chose to spend the rest of our lives travelling. We did not have a lot of money when we first started our journey. I remember this as if it happened yesterday.

The Book Of Life
Pulses, up and down the book breathed life into its creased pages. The leather bound words joined tightly together, woven into existence. It began to move. Slowly, eventually, towards him. A man with all of life’s experiences shown by his worn bones, covered by a kind exterior. Smiling from cheek to cheek he watched in awe as this little black book moved. It stopped. It opened. Creaky noises emulating from this little black book, filling a blank room. But as blank as this room was, the man’s experience led the way for this book. Upon a glance the pages filled with his life. Sentences, punctuation, and spelling all summed up in his existence. The little back book was sewn in a connection with this man. The two were indistinguishable.

The Deep
The ocean scared Moira Hunt more than anything. Maybe it was the first nail in the coffin of her marriage when she refused to wade through the waves just off the coast of Hawaii even at her husband Dean’s insistence. Hiking and mountain-climbing she could do—gladly—but water in a great wide expanse? Give her a small heated pool any day.
