How do you imagine it would feel like, to be a god? According to most religious, or mythological ideologies, gods are typically thought of as incredibly powerful, potentially omniscient, probably possessing some, supernaturally potent ability, and, depending on the religious, or mythological group, having the best moral compass possible, and caring, without limits, about human […]

Open/Closed
Hold out your hand in front of you, with your palm facing the ceiling. (Yes, please, play along.) Place into the center of your palm, an object that would rest there comfortably, and provide little strain. (Examples of such items may include a coin, pebble, paperclip, bottle cap, key, playing card, letter, small roll of tape, […]
Simulant
Do you know what the great failure of humanity is, right now? People believe that we can stay connected without in person, organic, dialogue. We don’t really know who the other people are, when one can’t look another in the eye, and see the sincerity, or lie, in their expression. We’ve relegated communication to text, to […]
Abjectness
It was a mistake to think, I could live in this world. It was error to think I’d fit in. There were so many flags that told me there was no place, for the being that I am. I walked someone else’s walk, and was the mouthpiece for other’s words, yet knew not what […]

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 […]
