Note: Trying to get my little 3 year-old to take a short nap is turning into a "my will versus your will" tug-of-war.

I love the written word. Heck, I love language - the sounds, the textures and the compositions of it. I write and for a while, I was an editor.

while it flows, it flows
into streams and rivulets
softly laughing . . .
