The Stream - a poem

The Stream, it seems
Has quite a cast of characters,
As it gleams, in the early morning sun
As the dew drips down,
Down to the ground
And onto an ant, on a mound,
As he carries a leaf further down, along the path,
Where his Queen, is eternally bound
To her destined Ova–lasted mourning
The slug crawls ever closer, to his home
Under a [...]

Memories of Gefilta Fish and Chopped Liver

My WORST FOOD in the whole world is none other than that Yiddish staple, Gefilta Fish. A round ball, ground-up mix of carp, whiting and other unknown occupants of the oceanic kingdom of “questionable origins”, mixed in this clear gelatinous goo that looked so much like oozing nasal mucous, still ripe and just now dripping [...]

When faced with the decision of applying for Social Security Disability, several factors should be kept in mind.

The Fault Is In The Stars, Not Ourselves

Some days, everything goes wrong. I put my keys down, and two minutes later, I forget where I put them. I hop into the shower and the water gets too hot or too cold. I try to go to sleep and I hear outside my window: “Move your F—–n Car out of the way, you [...]

Footnotes On Friendship

If the measure of my life is judged by the footnote I leave behind, the subtext of that footnote should define the character and quality of my friendships.
Footnotes are not just facts about a persons life. They are as poetry, pregnant with ideas, feelings, and imprints, left with those people who were part [...]

On What Anthropology Can Teach Us

I have always admired anthropology more than any other social sciences. Built into its philosophical approach is the idea of studying a culture from within their society. The idea of freeing ourselves from the constraints of our personal notions and expectations - though difficult to do - is a noble ideal to aspire to. Joining [...]

On Psychotherapy

When deciding to go into psychotherapy, several things should be considered. Usually, people search for the aid of a psychotherapist when attempts at resolving problems by themselves turn out unsuccessful. In all likelihood, our “blind-spots” are so glaring that we can’t see the issues and the way people react to our behavior motivate [...]
