INSIDE THE BOX
Wild Geese
This past week, the weather took a turn toward spring. And just as soon as daytime temps climbed above the teens and low 20s, my daughter Simi and I saw them: the wild geese returning home. They reminded us both of this poem by Mary Oliver. . . .
I Happened to be Standing
It’s been unseasonably cool, cloudy, and rainy during my post-graduation visit to North Carolina. This morning, I sighed in disappointment when I awoke to the sound of more rain . . .
The Journey
I am starting out on a new journey today—a journey toward a whole new career. I’m equal parts excited and scared out of my wits.
The Summer Day
Summer is a perfect time to pause and take a moment to look, smell, feel and listen to the world around us—a perfect time to marvel at its beauty and wonder about its origins.
