T.V.
There are 285 million television sets right now in American households. That’s a whopping 233 million more than in 1960. In the golden era of streaming, it has become too easy to sit in front of the t.v. for a few relaxing hours in the evening or to plop your children in front of it and let the electronic babysitter do all the work. Many of us simply keep the television on for company as we cook or get ready for work. While for others, the act of watching t.v. has become a hobby. For me, a passion. As well therapy, medicine, and a connection to the world.

The Locket
The Locket No light. No sound. Just a dark void. Emptiness. Nothingness. A sudden jerk and an explosion of light. The world comes into a brilliant focus. A blazing sun high in a baby blue sky. Seagulls crying in the distance. The smell of salt and the feel of a breeze carrying a mist of cool water. There is an audible gasp of glee. A young woman’s face comes into view. Her corn yellow hair flowing around her, her eyes a fierce green. Her fingers gently caress the top of the golden heart-shaped locket. A small diamond shimmers in the center. It’s sparkle pulses like a beating heart. She gingerly picks up the locket that's fastened to a delicate gold chain. Her fingers are warm. She clasps the chain around her neck and frees her hair from its embrace. Her golden waves fall around the locket as it settles on her chest.
