Belonging has a way of sending us into a tail-spin that no other sense or effect on who we are has than anything I’ve been thinking about lately. I’ve often wondered about that. Why its bark is equal in all parts to its bite. Why, it [belonging] has

I appear to have chocolate crackles on the brain. Everywhere I look my brain manages to conjure up the illusion that makes certain things look like chocolate crackles in disguise! Impossible? No really, it’s true! This must be how the cookie Monster feels ALL the time! It must
