The old tree withers,
Yet offers fruit every spring--
Roots drain without rain.

A dove on her arm
Beak grasps a gentle green leaf
Lets its own wings furl.

Better Alone than Exhausted
"I’d Rather Be Alone and Quiet Than Tired of Being with Someone Else" We aren't afraid of loneliness; we are afraid of entrusting ourselves to someone who doesn't appreciate us. At certain stages of life, what matters more than mere companionship is the feeling of comfortable peace. If a relationship requires you to constantly suppress your needs, pretend everything is fine, and work tirelessly to please someone else just to receive a spark of positive energy, then you are better off alone.

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.
