The rubber circles rapidly rotate upon the road and the rhythmic whir of the tires, the soothing whoosh of the swiftly passing air by open windows, and the invigorating, insistent, pulsing notes from the rock anthem blasting through the high wattage stereo system, pull upward at the corners of the drivers mouth, shoot stars into […]

Second-Flight First-Crawl
I wonder what the caterpillar feels when it stops inching forward. I wonder what it is thinking, when it decides to stop chewing on leaves. I’m curious what is going on inside, when it begins to surround itself within a cocoon. It’s fascinating to ponder whether this tiny, awkward, slinking creature, realizes the impact of […]
Plumbing Depths

Eron’s Flight
The sun floated directly above the city, and the cobblestones of its streets basked in the warmth of its nurturing solar rays. Though the illumination seemed to pierce the most obscure recesses of the side roads and alleys, the temperature did not approach that of oppressive. The citizens were not seen utilizing the daily crier […]
The Sounds of Time Passing
What if we could hear the passing of time? How could we audibly experience the ticking intervals? Would seconds be virtually imperceptible? Would the sound be similar to the ever so slight rustling of drapes by a gentle breeze? Would seconds passing make a similar noise to that of a coupling of string instruments being […]
Simple Solutions
Human beings are gifted with incredible depth, intricacy, and complexity, and therefore, it is within our nature to seek out higher degrees of meaning, purpose, and understanding.
