Inspiration comes in fits and spurts, laced with time, warmed with the heart. Each of my offerings began with a whisper, a pause to see, hear, and reflect.

A puff of liquid love
To sauté the soul.
A sweet pungent wine
To zest the sauce
Seasoned with years of discovery
Layered with surprise

A moral compass imbedded within

A Fluctuation of opportunity
Till the hand tips

Accumulations
Toward heartbeats of humanity

Perfect Vision
For a new decade
A worthy goal

Can I learn
To silence
What I can’t change?
A sleepless night
Of indecision
Made easy
By the rise of action

Wide-eyed, bald beings, toothless
Awkward, vulnerable, tipsy
Non-sensicle, joyful
With all these limitations
You take them everywhere

About Abbe
Abbe Rolnick grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first major cultural jolt occurred at age 15 when her family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. To find perspective, she climbed the only non-palm tree at her condo complex and wrote what she observed. History came alive with her exposure to Cuban culture. After attending Boston University, she lived in Puerto Rico, where she owned a bookstore. Once Stateside, she capitalized on the knowledge she gained as an independent bookstore owner and worked for one of the finest bookstores, Village Books, in Bellingham, Washington. Once a CEO of a manufacturing firm and owner of a healthy foods café, she is now retired and spends her time writing.
