watering
the
garden
suddenly takes on a
whole
new
meaning
when you live
with a
dog.

don't let the calm
exterior
fool
you,
she said.
there is plenty
of
restlessness
inside
but i manage
to keep it tamed
with
lots
of
sunshine
and
fried
dough.

i never get
tired
of
being
astounded.

i have found
that
stretching boundaries
usually won't make
them
break
but sometimes
i get
into
trouble
when i
ignore
the
no
trespassing
signs.

the brightest
point
is
not always
the
most
important
part.

dreams help me
find
my
peace
in this
sometimes
emotionally
exhaustive
world.

in the world
of neuroscience,
the
brain
is referred to
as
the 2.5 pound
universe


we have more brain synapses
than all the stars
in
all
the
galaxies
right
within
us.
suddenly,
exercising
my
brain
takes on
a
whole
new
meaning

these days,
i need
glasses
to
even
read
between
the
lines.
