Sitting in a courtroom filled with golden sunlight that angles in from floor to ceiling windows on my left side. I face the center of the Bench. I look down at my arm to see a gold charm bracelet around my wrist. I’m seeing it in close-up against the brown skin of my arm. There’sContinue reading “Maat”

An old style sailing ship on the ocean during a massive storm. The bow dips on the downward side of a huge wave, pitching men and supplies forward, sliding helplessly along the deck. A sailor clings to the bottom of a mast desperately. He has blonde hair drenched with sea water. Wave after wave slamsContinue reading “The Whale of New Bedford, CT.”

A drawing fills my vision. It looks very old and reminds me of a Leonardo da Vinci drawing. Faint, spidery lines drawn finely on fading sepia-toned parchment. It depicts a Grecian temple with huge columns supporting the front and steps leading up. As I gaze at it, lightning cleaves the sky and thunder cracks likeContinue reading “Prometheus”

Standing on the edge of the square at dusk. Thunder rumbles in the distance. The sky is overcast, light gray with patches of darker cloud shot through it. I’m an indigenous woman. My skin is a deep nut brown. I look at the lovely burnished color of my arm. The air is humid and tropical.Continue reading “The Shrieking Parakeets of Leticia, Colombia”

He lays face down in foamy surf, his front pressed into the wet sand. Slowly and painfully, he manages to roll onto his back. His face looks strange and misshapen, the skin bulging out in clusters of protrusions. His hair is sparse and sprouts from his scalp in tufts, like random patches of weeds inContinue reading “The Astronaut of Casar”

The Lobby is enormous, hushed and dim. The floor is black and white parquet, in a pattern of neat, orderly, alternating boxes. I walk across it softly, looking at the gleam of light reflecting in the squares. Huge screens line the walls in a 360 degree view of many galaxies. I don’t know what mostContinue reading “The Lobby of Galaxies”

Chilly mist swirls above the ground. The scent of jasmine is in the air. I’m inside a huge circular space with no roof. The night sky arches overhead, full of stars. Many passages lead away from the center, forming a ring. There’s a big, furry, white blob there in the middle, snarling. I can’t seeContinue reading “Hypnos”

We can create a better reality than the one we’re in. We created this mess, didn’t we? We can transmute the flaming garbage fire raging out here into the Garden of Eden. All we gotta do is decide to do it. An old-fashioned TV set with knobs and fake wood paneling. A hand reaches outContinue reading “The Butterfly Universe”

I’m flying through black space, pinpoints of starlight zooming past. All around me are tiny blue Ganesha elephants, floating in space. They look like little cartoons with jewelry and floral leis on. A bright yellow glow appears in the distance ahead of me. I race towards it. Behind me, a huge Garuda bird appears, seemingContinue reading “Lord Shiva”

The scene appears as a set of white filmy curtains blow open, like in an old movie. In a grand room with a double staircase leading to a second level, a wedding reception is taking place. The bride and groom stand near the bottom of a staircase, smiling and chatting with guests. The bride hasContinue reading “Wedding At The Biltmore Hotel”
