Waking up Alive: Adventures in Living.

June 11, 2018 By Berni Stapleton 2 Comments

  I’ve noticed this thing that’s been happening to me a lot of late. I’ve only gradually become aware of what a phenomenon it is, a gift I never appreciated until now. It happened to me again this morning.   I woke up alive.   I’ve been waking up alive my entire life, of course, but never woke to what a miracle it is until recently.   I don’t know why the entire world isn’t in a mad fever of celebration every single day, when we all wake up … [Read more...]

The streetcar runs from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and I lock my front door at 10.15. Not 10.14. Not 10.16. Precisely at 10.15. Never argue with a Brazil Square landlady. My … [Read more...]

Killing Time in Airports: Zen and the Lost Gates

May 7, 2017 By Berni Stapleton 4 Comments

  In a Sufi fable, the lost Gates of airports live on in a murmuration of winged creatures, interfering with planes and occasionally manifesting as dense fog to obstruct flights.   It is very stressful to be checking through security holding a boarding pass with no Gate indicated on it.  This stress is only surpassed when you disembark from one flight knowing you have mere minutes to make your connecting flight, and your boarding pass still has no Gate indicated on it. Killing … [Read more...]
