hands phones people
Why do people always gesture with their hands when they talk on the phone?
writing wife mind
I find you write with one person in mind. Usually for me that one person is my wife, because she's my most severe critic and understands best what I'm trying to do.
sexy mother father
The keys that unlock the heart are made of funny materials: a disarming phrase that comes out of the blue, nowhere, a certain sexy walk that sends you reeling, the way someone hums when she is alone. My father said it was the way my mother danced with him.
blue jeans people
Some people are like blue jeans- the older and more beat up they get, the better they look.
years house amusement
Far more disturbing than any spook house at an amusement park is a ride through the old hometown if you've been away for years.
weapons forget blind
Fear's greatest weapon is its ability to blind one to anything. In its presence, we forget there are others to consider, things to save besides ourselves.
orange forgiving fifth-grade
I forgive nothing. If you stole my orange crayon in the fifth grade, you're still on my hit list, buddy.
teeth want
Everything you want in life has teeth.
summer dark hands
If you are very lucky, you're allowed to be in certain places during just the right season of your life: by the sea for the summer when you're seven or eight and full of the absolute need to swim until dark and exhaustion close their hands together, cupping you in between.
memories writing giving
I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now.
gold
I don't like to have to pan for gold when I read.
reality years perspective
One of the saddest realities is that we never know when our lives are at their peak. Only after it is over and we have some kind of perspective do we realize how good we had it a day, a month, five years ago.
beautiful fun journey
It's always fun to walk down the street with or behind a really beautiful woman, for no reason other than to see how the world reacts to them.
dog sleep simple
Dogs are here to remind us life really is a simple thing. You eat, sleep, take walks, and pee when you must. That's about all there is. They are quick to forgive trespasses and assume strangers will be kind.
