I was driving down one of those roads last spring. Days of rain made the ground slippery to drive on. As I turned around a curve, I saw a tree that had fallen across the road. It blocked my way. I hit the brakes(刹车)and slowly drove around it. Then I stopped. I knew if ...
But likely it was my very guilt about the renovation—about all that money spent—that finally drove me, after years of Sphinx-like secrecy, to leave hints that night at dinner until my husband at last asked me point blank, “Have you had sex with him? Are you in love with him?” U...
I have come to realize in the last year or so that my sister’s constant seeking me out in order to attack me has led to what I once thought were just quirks of character but I now understand to be direct results of feeling constantly hunted. For instance, I am triggered by too many...
In March of this year I was driving home from teaching two back to back yoga classes on a gorgeous Florida morning. Traveling on A1A a, beautiful palm tree lined route that hugs the Atlantic ocean, I stopped at a crosswalk to let a pedestrian pass. She cleared my side of the street,...

the population. This is still quite low by world standards, but many homes in rural, mountainous areas are still without electricity. Mobile handsets are seen almost permanently clamped to a Lao ear, whether the user is on foot, riding a motorcycle (or buffalo!) and of course while driving...
newly blinged left hand and looks me in the eye for what I thought was going to be the last time. Twelve miles of careless, bumpy, off-road driving later, we arrive at anything but a licensed and insured zipline tour. The teen straps on our harnesses and pulls out his Nokia flip pho...
