Beer Goggles

The greatest danger from so-called ‘beer goggles’ isn’t the imagined improvement we see in those around us  on the dance floor.

It's the improvement we see in the mirror, as the image of ourselves passed through the goggles twice.  

Summer Rain

The lightest, sweetest summer rain
descends from silver linings,
falling softly upon the shoulders
of those who seek the brilliant shadows below.
