Today I am every age I ever was

Today I am every age I ever was. I am eleven riding the waves on my raft. I am 14 and 17 on my friend's surfboard, on my stomach, slicing through the surf. I am 35 swimming with my kids, with our Newfoundland dog. We hold onto her collar and she tows us to shore. And I am in my 70s now, swimming in the ocean with my grandchildren, what a wonderful day I think.

Writing, Reading and Living: Essays, Stories, and the Spaces Between

Some of my essays and stories are serious/substantial and are balanced with lighter topics. A dozen were first published decades ago. Some are new, and all have been previously published in a variety of publications. Most of all, my writing is timeless (vs timely).
