The Promise Of Another Day...

Life, in its intricate tapestry, is woven with threads of joy and sorrow, triumph and defeat, hope and despair. We navigate its labyrinthine pathways, often stumbling, sometimes soaring, but always evolving. There are moments when the burdens of the past weigh heavily upon us, casting long shadows that obscure the light of the present. Discouragement whispers in our ears, urging us to succumb to…

Echoes Of Earth And Starlight...

We are inheritors of a legacy woven from the very fabric of existence. We are the daughters and sons of Earth, our roots running deep within its fertile soil. We are also children of the starry skies, our aspirations reaching for the boundless expanse above. This dual heritage, earthly and celestial, shapes our being, colors our perceptions, and fuels our journey through time. Our history, when…

Words Do Wander Off Course...

Language is animated! Words aren’t static little things trapped in amber; they’re more like amoebas constantly shifting and changing shape and sometimes even splitting off into entirely new meanings. We see this all the time – words that used to mean one thing now mean something slightly different or even completely different. Think about “awful,” which once meant “full of awe” and now… well, not…

Still---Star Light Secrets…

…Please Note… (Not Poetry—in True Forms—However—Just For Me—Fun)… Not everything that can be counted really counts, and not everything that counts can be really counted… Albert Einstein. There and perched high on dream-side—at flips of mind-sigh—we move across—this universe so fine. Alive and gone and alive and gone—‘til counting-time catches us with mind-sides swirl—sight of mind-light…

Departure And Spaces In-Between...

The human experience is often defined by transitions, by the spaces between states of being. We move from dawn to twilight, from waking to sleeping, from familiar comfort to uncharted territory. These liminal moments, these “departure gates,” are enceinte with possibility, fraught with uncertainty, and ultimately, define who we become. This exploration delves into these twilight zones, the…

A River's Winding Secrets And Diminution...

The river, a sinuous thoroughfare etched into the landscape, meanders through a complexity of wandering places, each bend holding a soundless testimony to the transit of time. Its waters, opaque with secrets, carry echoes of lives lived and lost, whispers of stories that have been absorbed into the earth and air. The riverbank, a shifting canvas of mud and stone, bears witness to the indelible…

Ephemeral Echos And Awareness...

The human experience is often characterized by a relentless pursuit of the grand and the monumental. We are drawn to the spectacular, the extraordinary, the achievements that resonate across history. Yet, inherent within the fabric of existence lies a profound truth: the power and significance of the minute, the seemingly insignificant, and the everyday. A speck of dust, illuminated by a shaft of…

The Unseen Programming of Reality...

You navigate your daily life within a framework of established norms, accepted practices, and seemingly immutable truths. You interact with systems, institutions, and social structures, often without questioning their fundamental nature. You may observe inequities, inefficiencies, or even outright absurdities, yet they are frequently relegated to the category of “just the way things are.” But…

Sing Me---Song Life...

Again to be—to see…of loving the loving…of hands joined-to-body moving…of swings and wings and…Spirit-singing and peaceful sighing…Creation—The Witches smile and for this instant within a moment of Time— ‘Tis’ good this Loving Rhyme. So! Follow this Time—this Twine Re-wind. Stands the man and watches the slow up and down of water’s edge out toward the line as sea touches sky and sky layers…

Skreaking Into This World...

We’re about to dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird and endlessly fascinating question of what it ‘may really mean’ to be human. Forget the textbooks and dusty philosophies for a minute and let’s talk about it like we’re swapping stories around an eternal campfire. Think about this… From the moment we skreak our way into this world, we’re basically launching an expedition. Not across…

A Stratum Of Shadows…

Wander these streets. The pulse of the city almost thrums foot high, echoing as the almost muted heartbeat of an ancient creature. A labyrinth of concrete and glass everywhere; becomes alive, an entity that breathes and sighs under the weight of hurried souls. Each person is a note in a bittersweet symphony, clinging to their devices, their faces illuminated by the flickering screen light as they…

A Speculative Inquiry...

The human mind, in its capacity for abstraction and imaginative flight, often constructs visions of vast scope, reaching beyond the tangible and into the realm of the hypothetical. Within this inner theater, we can conjure images of celestial warfare, witness the birth and death of worlds, and contemplate narratives of epochal transformations that dwarf even the most significant events in…

New Holder In House...

The world has always had its monsters. We’ve painted them on cave walls, whispered their names in the dead of night, and built elaborate systems of belief to explain the inexplicable dread they inspire. But these were, perhaps, the gentle demons. The ones we understood, the ones with familiar faces – envy, greed, wrath. They were predictable, manageable, even, in their own horrifying way. But…

To Categorize And Compartmentalize...

The ripple effect of human action, often dismissed as inconsequential, bears a weight disproportionate to its perceived scale. Even the most seemingly benign choices, like a daily purchase or a fleeting interaction, contribute to a complex web of interconnected consequences, stretching beyond immediate observation. Within the grand scheme of global events, the individual’s agency is easily…

Lives And Mingle-Tingles...

Walking hulks sulk and climb ending stairs skyward to beyond this rabble-rouse and quiet noise. When money creeps and changes; news leaks near power peaks alongside east-west motions and of the upward downs of truths returned. Word crests someplace in this somewhere time when twirling letters rhyme and time-to-know-to-yes remain-the-same. Confusions great relate to money swap and hanging pauses…

An Eternal Journey of Existence...

We are perpetual wanderers, spirits etched into the fabric of time, forever in motion. Whether we are small or large, whether we are bound by flesh or forged from metal, we are all caught in the endless dance of arrival and departure, of leaving and returning. This is the essence of existence—a cycle so deeply ingrained in our being that it becomes the very rhythm of life itself. And yet, amidst…

Reclaiming Means And Modified Wanting...

The pursuit of desires, that inherent human drive, often finds us locked in a relentless struggle against external forces. We are taught to strive, to grasp, to conquer the world to acquire what we believe will bring us fulfillment. We pour our energies into chasing elusive goals, sometimes to the point of exhaustion and despair. But what if the key to unlocking a more satisfying existence lies…
