Strangers on a Train
We don't see each other enough. Sometimes once a year, often less. But that we know each other at all is a gift, a twist of fate. Our friendship began on a train from New York in 2002. She, her husband and daughter, and I, occupied the last seats in the car, two-and-two, separated by [...:]

A Summer's Note
I'm writing this in a beach house with doors open to the sea, listening to the waves and feeling the salt air. A pod of pilot whales swam by a little while ago; I watched their glossy black backs lift just before then sounded, and felt strong love for them and all creatures in our beautiful oceans
