A breath. Bobbing. My eyes gaze up at the blue sky.
A breath. I sink. The cold water surrounds me.
A whistle. A splash. Motion and waves move towards me.
A hand. A snatch. She grabs my body and yanks me upwards.
A breath. The air fills my lungs.
A smile. She looks at me.
“Hey buddy,” she says, “I got you.”
The lifeguard swims me to the wall.
Safe.
Before their embrace, he visited the bathroom yet again.
“Got cash?”
She paid. They both knew he should have his own fare. They both knew why he didn’t.
“Talk soon?”
Both knew he wouldn’t call. Since birth (her third Passover), he couldn’t be tamed – first “class clown,” then “life of the party,” now “a danger to himself.” All grown, he remained a laughing cherub tugging on her braid. She’d always love him anyway.
Earlier this spring, I took a picture of the pink blossoms at the East Brunswick Public Library. This picture was featured on the Tap-Into East Brunswick news.

The moon gleamed on the backyard bay when she found Stephen crying and alone on the patio, shivering, completely drenched. Empty beer cans surrounded the dejected figure.

Join us for a special sensory-friendly hour at the library, held before public hours.
This dedicated time is designed to offer a quieter, calmer library experience for children, teens, and adults with sensory sensitivities, along with their families or guardians.
The library will be open only to registered participants during this hour, providing a safe, low-stimulation environment to browse, read, use the computers and explore before regular public hours begin.
Creativity. Connection. No Rules.

Entering the shopping center I noticed several dollar bills on the floor. I picked them up and to my surprise they were six $20 dollar bills. My dilemma. Should I pocket the money and quickly walk away. Or take the money to security. Maybe check at the nearest store if money was reported loss. I could always donate the $120 to my favorite charity. What would you do?
