Reflections Before Bedtime #88
By: Gabriela Yareliz summer We will be the ones to run around in warm summer rain, until we are soaked and our chests are heaving from so much laughter. Our hair, stuck like wet yarn, on our faces and skin. Raindrops will run in paths paved by tears long ago. Sweet heat; and sweet healing.Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #88”
Tuesday Badinage: July 19, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday, I got to go to the prettiest part of Long Island.

I have been fascinated by Wiesel’s writing and thoughts on religion. Being a survivor of the Holocaust hints to theContinue reading “The Gates of the Forest”
Reflections Before Bedtime #87
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I was reminded of a friend of mine. Maybe, it’s more appropriate to use the term ex-friend. We had a weird dynamic and a weirder falling out. We spent lots of time together. It was one of those friendships where you know how the other person thinks and his or herContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #87”

Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll try not to make this a rambling post, but I am just spilling out of my glass right now; overwhelmed with so much– good and bad. I feel it has been a while since I came by these parts. Life has been insanely busy. I feel like I barely sleep, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016”
