San Francisco - My Town
Sometimes The City can seem so cold, but mostly it calms the soul and warms the heart.

Two of my true friends . . .
Once upon a time a little girl was born in Waco, Texas. Many years later she moved to San Francisco and a whole new world opened to her; North Beach, poetry readings, coffee houses, and the flotsam and jetsam of wannabe artists, and writers. Life became a colorful canopy she had never envisioned before. This too ended and another life began; a marriage, responsibilities associated with marriage, still beautiful, and still colorful but never as stimulating to the younger fringe beatnik who lived in the enchanted world of San Francisco's North Beach.

The Waco Kid(s)
I didn’t want to be left out of anything exciting. The kids on the block were practicing for a play. It was to be held in the yard across the street and all our parents were invited. A penny admission was charged.
Seduction of Silence
And so it continues, to sleep if you can, to wake if you must. The pattern of life is routine. There are variations on the theme, but the hours go by for all of us. Last night as I was talking on the phone, I began speaking of the seduction of silence.
If You Can't Walk, Fly
From my kitchen window, I have a great view of the city, as well as the many birds that enjoy the bird feeder on my deck. Sometimes, when a flock of pigeons descend, the little birds are intimidated and scatter rapidly leaving the big guys to what big guys do – take over.
