“Wings”
For some time now, she had been feeling light and airy, as though she had no body. And then, one day, there arose an irresistible urge to flap her arms, to use them as if they were wings, great wings, the wings of some large, sky-soaring bird. Over the course of a week, at odd […]

“When I think about her now, I see her as one of those stunningly prolific rose bushes from whose every stem erupts a gorgeous flower. Her gifts and charms were almost too much for me to handle.

“Dar had no one to please anymore. There were no loved ones or friends to whom she might be of service. She lacked a recipient for the invaluable gifts that she had to bestow. She was now a giver without a taker. And so she gave her boundless love to the world at large, to […]

“The scene will suddenly shift, alter, expand, and recede. Where there had been solidity, there is now amorphousness. What had been a discrete ticking of moments is now entirely devoid of a clock.

“One had always felt certain that this hidden Glory existed, even though one’s senses had never been able to perceive it until now. One had sensed the Wonder hidden behind the muck and the murk, the rust and the rivets of the everyday world. But now to actually see It in all Its Splendor! What […]

“The Love revealed the tenderness of the nursing mother for her newborn, the protectiveness of the lioness for her cubs, and the bounty of the young lover for his at-last-found mate.

Continue reading“Love”
“Love transformed everything. It made what had formerly been hard, soft. It brought dead things to Life. It gave the superficial, depth. It turned the common into the Extraordinary. It endowed the purposeless with meaning. Life was now an immense adventure without end, a playground, a temple, a gem-walled cave, and a garden of supernal […]

“Blanche raised her eyes to the window. The full moon sat high in the sky. Vaporous, it resembled a white cotton pompon. Surrounding it at several diameters’ width were two halos, one apricot-colored and one lavender blue.
