The bewitching hour, I strongly suspect, occurs between 3:00 and 4:00 am because that’s when I’m waking up with all kinds of oddities on my mind. Art by Elya Moline Sleep falls gently, tucking expectations snugly under chin…until the early morning hours when, I am convinced, the creative fairies spring wide-awake. During these 3 o'clock risings, phrases …

The Power of the Little White Stool: Perspective
Have you ever tried to search for something on a top shelf when you were too short to reach up that far?        You cannot grasp what you need, let alone see, so you fumble around wishing your fingers had eyeballs.        I keep a little white stool alongside my refrigerator for times like these.        Unfolded …
