The Howling Owl

Giving it our best shot

The Howling Owl (Revised on June 18, 2024)

“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.” William Shakespeare

And, so much more

It’s not as easy as it seems

We Will Grow Old

Law & Disorder: Confessions of a District Attorney

me and me and me

Echoes of having been

My bookshelf waits for me at home

When the holidays are over…

Oh, the chili

Small deaths on paper

— an invisible agony —

Field observations of a pied shrike-babbler during the collapse

A nest once cradled its dreams

When pain becomes a practiced art; Mending what’s familiar, one stitch at a time

— flood, fire, earthquake, civil unrest, mudslide, drought -

an observation and a prayer
