IN A SAN FRANCISCO FRAME OF MIND
A visual treat today, inspired by this week’s Photo Challenge titled “Framed”
MOURNING in the MORNING
Mourning in the morning is more difficult than at night since your ghost is visible in the daylight, said the woman, hands folded, as if reciting a prayer, to the aide sliding a comb through her once shiny, thick hair. You know you can’t hide inside that disguise! She … Continue reading

TASTE OF INDIA – Jammin’ on the Streets
Car horns honk. Motorbikes beep. Tuk-tuks toot. The wave of sound winds down as the steel herd halts for a red signal, then builds again when the traffic light turns green and the swarm surges forward. The pack pushes through the streets of Delhi … Continue reading
TASTE OF INDIA – A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Taj
Potty talk took on a new meaning for me today when I stopped to wash my hands in the ladies room before lunch. I had just pumped the soap dispenser and turned on the tap when a young voice from inside … Continue reading

ICELANDIC ANTIPASTI
Once I’d heard The Calling, answered it, and set the intention of being so overjoyed with the experience of a four-day dogsled trip in Green-land that I would do it again in a heart-beat, the fear of my eyeballs freezing in their sockets while I slept … Continue reading
AMUSE-BOUCHE
In the world of fine cuisine, amuse-bouche translates as something to amuse the mouth. It’s a single, bite-sized hors d’oeuvre that tickles your taste buds awake and leaves your tongue salivating for the next course. Although this waddle of penguins may not leave you … Continue reading
THE CALLING
Shhhhh.Listen.Do you hear it? The Calling? It’s not only an invitation to adventure from somewhere outside ourselves, but also an intangible summons from deep within. It rests on mist shrouded mountain tops, sways suspended above the oceans’ floors, and hums from … Continue reading
