the wheel of suffering

This Is What I Can Do. on the Deaths of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade.

I heard the news about Anthony Bourdain. I read about Kate Spade earlier this week. My heart feels heavy. Suicide is never easy. One of my first intuitive hits I can recall happened I was 7 years old. Alone in the house at night. And it just came to me that my aunt had committed suicide. I knew was true. It was so clear, the energy passing through me. I was terrified and I wasn’t even sure I understood what it all meant. The phone rang several times but I was afraid to answer. I knew. And I didn’t want to know. It… …Read More »

Ode to Winston the Wonder Dog

Winston the Wonder Dog

Note from Winston the Wonder Dog: My parents took me to the vet a few weeks ago because they said I was honking too much. After all that poking and one unhappy thermometer experience, it turned out I had cancer. I swear I felt fine, other than the honking. My parents were brave. They made such a fuss over me–way more hot dogs and bacon in my days. And hamburger. And steak. And lots of massages and walks. Basically they let me do whatever I wanted. And yesterday, they were the bravest ever: They decided to let me rest for… …Read More »

Rainbow suspenders are forever, Robin

for Robin Williams dealing with grief

  My friend texted me to say Robin Williams had taken his own life. Nanu nanu, she said. Rainbow suspenders forever, I said. This amazing, bright, shining, funny man who delighted the world has decided to leave on his own terms. We don’t really know what happened, but for sure it is shockingly sad to hear the news. Sad to imagine how his wife and family are doing. Wherever Robin is now, he gets it. He understands. Death is an experience for the living. We’re the ones experiencing that shock and sadness, we are the ones still here, we’re feeling… …Read More »

Goodbye for Now, Rocky

Rocky B. Balboa the dog, world

Our little Rocky boy passed away last week. His full name was Rocky B. Balboa, the cutest little Papillon everrrr. It was so so sudden, the change. He was prancing about one minute, and unable to move the next. We took him to the animal hospital where it was confirmed that he was in kidney and liver failure. He died sweetly in our arms. We never knew he was sick. Saying goodbye was not easy. Rocky was such a funny little nutty dog. A true blue good boy. He was so excited to see everyone who came to the house.… …Read More »
