Revelation
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” Mephistopheles, in Goethe’s Faust The quote above was Karl Marx’s favorite quote. Stay with me. This may feel random.

Theater
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn It’s a liar’s world. People look around and wonder what and who they can trust.

I heard an old black man sing “Stand By Me,” better than the original (as I ran past him); a man singing and dancing salsa with an enviableContinue reading “Morning Trains”
Becoming Fascinating

That is a good question (I had noContinue reading “Becoming Fascinating”
The Eyebrow Spa
By: Gabriela Yareliz Ms. Shah is a pro— or so I heard. She had on spa music that matches my favorite massage place, and her storefront business was packed. “That music is the secret to keeping everyone calm while they wait,” Ms. Shah said laughing. I had wandered over to Ms. Shah’s eyebrow spa becauseContinue reading “The Eyebrow Spa”
