I am reading Sidewalk Oracle by my favorite dream guide, Robert Moss. I fell asleep for a while. Images floated through my mind, but nothing stuck except when I awoke, the name or word Gaia was with me, the name for Planet Earth. Still in…

“Jitterbug Dancer” Gel pen on black sketch book paper by Cheryl Renee Long JITTERBUG DANCER By Cheryl Renee Long Before I could talk, even before I could walk, my young mother would scoop me up and dance with me in her arms. By 3 years old, I was her tiny dance partner. I knew all the big band sounds, the crooners and the words to the popular songs of the 1930s and 1940’s. I didn’t learn to…
“if I Lived in a Tree House, It Would Look Like This”
A tree like this is a psych profile. Every person’s imaginable tree tells a story about who they are inside.
The Problem of Being a Small Animal

The Lost Doll By Sandy Brown Jensen When I was a little girl, I was doll crazy. I dressed my dolls obsessively, and I was lucky enough to have an Aunt Mel who loved to make doll clothes for my girls. I sat them around the picnic table and taught them; and I became a teacher. I invited them to tea parties and cooked for them in my doll kitchen; and I became an avid home cook and dinner party…
