Hey fellow Humans, I’m here today to talk about our collective Madre: Earth. Every April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day, on which we pay tribute to the big blue marble we call home. This may be a day when you do fun crafts in school or receive alarming threats from a passionate environmentalist outside a Continue reading

Love and the Holocaust
This past Wednesday and Thursday marked the start and end of Yom HaShoah, a day observed to remember the 6 million Jews that were killed in the Holocaust (it is known in English as Holocaust Remembrance Day). To pay tribute, last night my family and I attended a service held by a partner of the Continue reading

How to Wake Up a Terminal Amputee with Days to Live
Pain. That was first and only thing I felt as I woke up Sunday morning. It was definitely in my legs, but I couldn’t identify which part. I tried to roll over, nothing happened. Was I paralyzed? No, there wouldn’t be a throbbing-like-I’d-just-been-shot pain if I was paralyzed. Had I been shot?! Who would shoot Continue reading

Train of Thought (TOT): “Water”
I did a blog post a few weeks back talking about how we lose our train of thought on occasion. This got me thinking about the train of thought itself; about how it essentially has no sense of direction, and can take us places that we never intended to arrive at the start of a Continue reading

We all have this Continue reading

I’m trying to help you.” “Well then, just take me home.” “We are home.” My family and I moved into a house on my maternal grandparents’ property the summer before Continue reading

Debt & Doubt & The Blue Wall
When I was little I used to play tag with my cousins. First, we would rock paper scissors to see who was “it,” then we would name the parameters of the playing field, including the safe zone. In this space—which was usually the blue wall next to our back door—you were not allowed to be Continue reading

Train of Thought Gone Missing
I’ve never understood where ideas go. The whole “I lost my train of thought,” thing kills me. Why is it a train? And is it or is it not the train that took Harry Potter to Hogwarts? Why is it that when I get off the couch and walk 5 feet to the computer, I Continue reading

Search the Vehicle.
Yesterday I spent 15 minutes watching a car chase on TV. The man driving the car was suspected to be armed and in possession of narcotics, and was holding off the police in a grey Scion with only 3 tires. Spoiler alert: They caught him. But we never found out what was in his car, Continue reading
