Cattle Chute
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 […]
Run.
I’m getting out. I’m getting out. I’m getting out. without a doubt I’m getting out, out, out, out, gonna find out, what its all about. I’m going around, around, around round and round, to find what’s sound. I’m spinning round, right around, my prospects abound, to turn it all around. I’ll find […]
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 […]
Shuffle or Stride
Pursue with fervor that which makes you feel alive. All other interests are slow, indeliberate shuffles towards death.

Pacing
I’m ready. My back is packed. I’ve checked my all of my gear. My preparation is complete. The trail waits. It waits not with urgency but understanding. It knows nothing else but to be present, and to exist. My feet have longed for the familiarity, the peace, and the comforts that are pervasive with each […]

We live in a world in which we find it far easier to buy happiness, however temporary the moments of purchased bliss, instead of working hard, and earning our happiness, regardless of how gratifying and long-lasting that satisfaction may be. And we prefer it this way. Humbly yours, J
The Waste (X)
The villagers waited out the impossibly long pause in Allamar’s speech. The sun bore down on patient brows, its insistence drawing beads of perspiration from calm onlookers. After long seconds of intense stillness, breath barely noted among the close-pressed villagers, Allamar reached towards his own chest. The crowd drew in a tiny collective breath, as […]
