Antennas


That was then! And to date the squeak remains my favorite animal sound! This became both my ultimate dream and favorite song: To live forever young! Life was so easy, its fulfilling joys boundless. The color of day break inspired infinity, the sunset and moonrise a classical of inexpressible awe and beauty. We played hide and seek with the squirrels in the lush foliage of the breezy trees as we watched our kites wave among the eagles with such gaiety, promise and abandon in the magnificence of the evening sky, high above the glorious sunsets of the hilly horizon. We excitedly looked forward to the fascinating bedtime accounts of the legends. Continue reading “Antennas” →

He admired the beautiful scenery coloring the green slopes of the mountain as he inhaled deeply from the fresh breeze gently sweeping across his face.

The One!


“Fiction! Lies! Vanity! Fantasy! And Superstition!” Joe the seeker groaned in anguish, frustration and loneliness biting deep. No amount of careful searching could yield any relief in his prolonged search for the perfect answer. He looked over the expansive garden. Not even the dominion bestowed upon him, could attempt to satisfy. He was in great distress. Continue reading “The One!” →

They were gradually getting accustomed to such moments that were becoming highlights of their daily schedule. Continue reading “The Diva From Phoenicia” →
