A compilation of short essays

Both Sides Now is a compilation of short essays, advice on life, poems, memoirs and more from a junior high teacher and a writer of forty-seven years. The slice-of-life vignettes resonate with empathy for the everyday trials, as well as individual empathy and worry for the larger events that shape the flow of things all around us. A smattering of black-and-white photographs illustrate this compilation of thoughts about daring to get one's ears pierced (long after becoming a mother to teenagers), the dilemma of which to choose, paper or plastic, to true tales of child-raising and more compile the bits and pieces of prose. The poetry encompasses a timeless quality that offers the chance to clear one's mind and contemplate in between the passages of insights. "Words": If fewer words were spoken, / If fewer words were said, / If deeds alone were the mark of a man. / Not the "catch of an eloquent plege. // If fewer words were spoken / If fewer words were said / If, for all the fake forensics, / There were simple words, instead. // And a man stated just what he started to state / Without false fuss or further ado. / If you weren't a politician / I'd probably listen to you.
