It doesn’t matter where I am
Whether there’s a fire crackling keeping me warm under the divine stars
It doesn’t matter what I have
Whether it’s a new couch to cuddle up on with some steamy green tea on a gloomy day watching the dew drop the oak tree outside
It doesn’t matter how I feel
Whether I am happy frolicking along the ocean, sand in my toes, and the waves chasing me on a bright lushes day with crisp wind blowing the sea salt into my aura
It matters if you are there with me
Home is whenever I’m with you
When my heart flutters into a slow beat of serenity
When I can’t stop grinning so wide it hurts
When I can put my hand on your cheek and rub my thumb against your scruff at any moment in time
Is when I am home

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
