Another Word is a collection of essays and short stories. The essays may be only one page, yet the words themselves are what capture your memory’s vision of life’s treasured moments.

The slender pen is one of the essays in this book.

You may be one of those people who, at some point in life, recorded your thoughts in a book using a slender pen. Years have passed, and you once again feel the need to record your thoughts in this book; however, at this moment, you cannot articulate your thoughts. So, you return the book to the shelf.

Now, many years have again passed, and life has transitioned. Yesterday’s memories have faded with all those lost years. You once again find the book. The cover has concealed what the ink of the slender pen has recorded. You begin to read, and your emotions take over.

You search for a chair in life that is willing to hold what the wind is unable to do with all its might, and that is to return what it had once carried far away.

The ink of life in the slender pen is once again ready to record the last few pages as your hands … There are times in life when the memories of our youth help carry us in life’s later years. Time, memory, and life together capture those special moments to hold in our lifetime. These are just a few thoughtful sentences that are in this story.
