Many Words, by P. Sebes
Many words have been spoken to you:
I love you. I hate you. I want you. I want you to leave me alone. You’re wonderful. You’re hurtful. You’re true and false. The list goes on as do the owners of the words. The men who have held your hand and walk you through experience. Some short, some long. Now add my name. For here are my words:
You’re a miracle. You’re the eye...

When my grandmother was a teenager
Some things never change:
A teenage girl on the phone (1944)
Now, make the phone a cell phone and instead of just talking she would be texting as well.
Teenagers listen to records (1944)
Now, make the record players iPods… and take a few inches off of their skirts.
Teenagers at a party (1947)
Now, make the cokes energy drinks and… when is slow dancing making a come back?

…asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”
“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with,...

Beginners: 'Simple and Happy'
Oliver: This is what it looks like when Anna tells me about being Jewish in 2003 ^
And when I tell her that my mother was Jewish. And then my father turned in his gay badge when my mother turned in her Jewish badge. And they got married in 1955.
My mother didn’t know she was Jewish until she was 13. It was 1938.
This is what people looked like. And lions and giraffes.
^ This man was...

Summer Lovin': One Girl. Four Countries....
My European adventure comes to an end.
When my father picked me up at the airport, the first thing he asked me was: “So, what will you always take with you from this experience? What have you learned about yourself?”
These are my final reflections.
