Granted, it does take effort. One does have to decide to actually decide to move small muscles in order to do it. For some though, it seems incredibly difficult. You may even know a few people, for which the effort seems excruciating. But, all of us are capable. Which makes it difficult to understand, after […]

Very recently, I had the opportunity to hike the Camino de Santiago. for those unaware, this is a centuries old pilgrimage trail, or network of trails with a common end point, Santiago de Compostela, at the Cathedral of St. James. People walk very short versions of this trail, and extremely long variants. People hike it […]
Eron’s Station
At the end of the line, a product was inspected, its quality assessed, and when deemed suitable, it was boxed up and transported, wherever it was needed. Eron didn’t concern himself with the quality of the final item. There were others that worked in the plant, that produced the product, that was transported, wherever it […]
Chosen Path
Without higher purpose or goals, what is time but turmoil? Without true passion and sacrifice, what is love but exaggerated lust. Without hard work and strife, what value can one place on comfort? Without ever feeling pangs of hunger, how does one ever feel full? We need to be without, before we know the value […]
More or less?
Can you do it? Does the answer lie in your head, or are you seeking it from another? If the question is being posed, then the answer needs to come from inside.

How permanent the entrapment of time. Perfect preservation in cells, that which enters our eyes, ears and mind, by ways which we fully, have yet to understand. So […]
Do not discuss
Vows of silence were confusing. Why would someone willingly choose to remove one of their primary means of communication? After much consideration, the sacrifice makes sense. By removing the ability to talk about all the things that could have been done, what one can accomplish , or what one will do; those that take a vow […]
Before, after, and the movement between
We don’t actively notice the passing of time. By the time we chat away another few sentences in a dialogue, or read another page, or drive to the next red light, what was present is already past. By the time we reflect on on what we had just done, the sense of being present, is […]
On your feet!
Cats always land on their feet, right? Once upon a time, this misnomer may have been believed by the masses. Without the preponderance of chronicled video evidence that we now have refuting this belief, generally, people witnessed cats, that fell or dropped, landing safely on their paws. Cats have a righting reflex that allows them to […]

If we have reached the end of exploration, What then remains? In the absence of yearning for external wonder, do we seek to satisfy our lust for exploration, through exploitation? Is marketing to the soul our next frontier? Is our self sacrifice the next currency? Is your elevated pulse or recorded grin the next sales […]
