Would you agree with me that some voices are stronger than others?
Some are so loud, so bold, so daring, so… arrogant.
Others are so stiff, so serious, so shy, so… subtle.
In an argument, people tend to start yelling.
Why?
It’s meaningless.
I can hear your words, feel what you’re saying,
but I do not, cannot, comprehend your meaning.
Is your being arrogance of arrogance going to help me understand?
But when the subtle voice speaks, it tears you down with one word.
Have you noticed you talk a lot, but mean little?
So in this case which is stronger?
Which one are you?

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.

A CLOSE ENCOUNTER
Stars twinkled brightly in a moonless sky, reflecting in the calm waters of Lake George in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York. It was a warm August night, as we laid back in the boat, marveling at the magnificent Milky Way. Dark skies made the stars more brilliant at this time of year, especially during a new moon, causing wonder and enchantment. We never tired of stargazing while floating on water, a truly immersive experience.
