I’d rather have less, and be more, than be less, and have more. Humbly yours, J

Ash
There are some things, you can give away. There are others you try to forget. There are many you can tear apart, bend, and break. There are pieces that can shatter, and those that can drown. There are many that are best dealt with, buried under ground. But there are some, a select few, that can […]
Diamonds and Plastic
To some, the ideas of honesty, integrity, and decency, are as precious of diamonds. These intensely valuables gems are formed deep within the earth with immense degrees of patience, pressure, and time. They are incredibly durable, being of the most resilient of all substances. These diamonds are useful, their immutability useful in all manner of […]
I _______ You
Its is far easier to impulsively sense, reactively feel, or spontaneously expectorate the words “I love you,” Than it is to take the time, deliberately make the effort, or ponder and deeply consider, uttering the words “I understand you.” Humbly yours, J
Prestidigitation
What is fear without a rush? What of confidence without doubt? What is ecstasy without melancholy? What of silence without song? It’s the great emotional sleight of hand, the divulging of one and sublimation of the other. It’s the perfect sentimental illusion. Proffering grandness while shrinking another. What is anger without meekness? What of love without […]
Immolation and Rejuvination
We fear its destruction. We fear the rage. We fear the inevitability of cataclysmic eruption. We shy away, and keep our distance from the gurgling pinnacle. As the burbling mouth spews blood-hued globules into the sky, we cower and shudder. We dare not venture close to the heat tinged aperture. We won’t come close to […]
Rivers, Smiles, and Sun
At a certain point, we become aware that our lives have a certain trajectory. Some believe that it has been preset since the day we are born. We may choose to fight against it all we want, but that’s wastefully pointless. It’s best to accept whatever course that you are on. Life is like a […]
Stasis
I can see mountains, but don’t know their shape. I can feel features, but don’t know your face. I can see the sun, but don’t feel it’s warmth on my skin. I know all the answers, just don’t know how to begin again. I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, but paralyzed. I can […]
Spectrum
Remember. Do you remember? Do you recall that time you asked me to look to the sky? Does it still play out in your mind? Does the memory of that sunny day still make your skin feel warm, even when there is a chill outside? Can you recall how the grass tickled your feet as […]
I’m here for you! (As long as there’s drama)
Many years ago I stumbled upon a quirky, creative, and insightful movie. This movie featured several scenes involving fairly prominent actors. The short scenes totaled no more than several minutes each. Each scene highlighted a different theme ranging from humorous, to scientific, to melancholy, and even ironic. Each short had different actors. In one, Bill Murray […]
