We hear a song or read a story & the good feelings we get don't remain inside of us. We are either anticipating them, or we've had them & they are gone. We never experience them as now... I'm writing a story about a little girl who discovers a cave where there is a lasting now...

Those days... [Irrational Fears]

I remember when I was young and every time I got a really bad sore throat, I thought that it was going to close up just like it did for George Washington when he died.

What fears did you have as a child that you've since deemed irrational?

i feared a lot of weird things. one of them was that if i ever stepped exactly in the center of just the right tile square in, say, the lobby of a hospital, with the center of my foot, i would dislodge the secret trigger that would probably make an erupting volcano out of the entire world. but i never knew which one it would be, as there is only one spot like this in the entire world...
