A Grateful Dragon
Some decisions are choiceless… But it wasn't enough, none of it was. Not giving up her well paid job and risking everything to follow her heart and paint. Not defiantly testifying against her predator boss. Not being there for her family and friends whenever they needed her. Because, you see, it's one thing to find yourself; but it's something else entirely to keep yourself. And Mira found herself yet again wrapped up in a tangled web of good intensions that was slowly choking her. Would she ever be truly free? There wasn't really anything to complain about though. She had a good job at the deli, which allowed her time to paint, and all her family and friends were well and happy. And she had the most adoring, kind, cashed-up, easy-on-the-eye boyfriend. So what on Earth was wrong with Mira? Why couldn't she just be more grateful? …Because sometimes you know exactly what you need, you just pretend like you don't want it.

Zuza's Story
A story about a little girl who hears the voice of doubt telling her she's not good enough. Zuza experiences an abstract version of bullying and negative influence, which causes her to change her own feelings and thoughts about herself. The idea for this story came from personal experience of a narcissist's grasp on my truth. I realized the enormous need to instill a sense of security and self-worth in my daughters and to arm them with the ability to recognize that criticism is a reflection of the individual criticizing.
The Kindness Response
On November 3, 2020, I had emergency heart surgery. As part of the healing process, I unwittingly intensified my writing poetry in gratitude to those who saved my life and supported me in the harrowing days which followed. In the hospital, I was deeply moved by the constant kindness of the healthcare professionals and my family members who helped me back to life. I saw in them a «kindness response» to life which I always knew existed but now appreciated as the core value of what it means to be a human being. This slim book mostly includes poems written in the wake of my brush with death at the age of 66, events of the last two years and a few pieces reflecting on previous experiences. I hope it adequately expresses my gratitude to those who took care of me in my hour of need and helps others see the need for kindness in everything we do in the hospital, on the street, and at home.
