Description

What’s it all about, anyway? Let’s be honest; admit it: “Most of what we set out to do never meets our expectations.” This concept may not satisfy the perfectionist; but, then what does? People never make mistakes… intentionally. An honest mistake is as good as no mistake at all, right? No one intends to blunder. In youth, we blame our errors on ‘lack of experience’. As senior citizens, we package our bloopers as ‘senior moments’. In between times, we tend to call it ‘fate’. But…creating causes just diffuses reality and how we handle what actually happens. Life is what it is and things are just what they are; why label them? The journey can’t be codified. It’s a bumpy trek! Of course, we have choices when we encounter a conflict: we can give up, run away, push through, pray, or even change our perspective; for relief, we can laugh at this ‘comedy of errors’. If you see yourself in any of these scenarios, please have a few laughs on me.

 

            Arlene Cohen has lived a life punctuated by acute moments of disbelief -- raw material for stories, where fact drifts into fiction for an entertaining and amusing, sometimes startling read. Wander into tales about the making of a starlet, an encounter with sassy 6th graders, an angel greeting, a woman on the run, a visit from a madman, hippie trippin' time in paradise, a stubborn ascent on a crumbling lava cliff, a never-say-die "It Girl", a very strange date, getting lost in Chinatown, going back in time, and a relentless case of insomnia.
