There is a huge Merry-Go-Round, it is so bright and it turns so incredibly fast!
I watch it circle and circle again, I want to jump on but do I have the courage to take that first step. What if I miss the step? What if I don’t reach the hand hold?
What happens to the kids that fall off? Where do they go, I can’t see them.
If I manage to hold on and if I manage to climb on a tall horse will I be able to grab the ring?
I’ve got the ring, it’s mine.

Vacation?
We just had our final open air beach dinner of the year, the moon is bright and we are walking back to our Motel. I know I turned the right way but I don’t see any lights ahead of us. We did not go the wrong way or we could have breached a restricted military zone.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
