What would you do with one million dollars? Would you invest it all, in the hopes that it would multiply your wealth in time?

?C?
In one moment, I was writing. In the next, I blinked, and suddenly that which should have been what I thought was something, was only that I missed something that someone else thought was important in the real world. As for myself, I didn’t care at all. Humbly yours, J
Open Hand
Here. Please, open your hand. Are you ready? Good, I’m glad. I will just ask one thing of you, before I place it in your hand. I’m not asking anything outlandish of you. No, no. Its not heavy, nor will you damage it. I assure you, it’s not burdensome. There’s no reason to be scared […]

Michelangelo, Axis […]
Catch and Release

But some of those things, will take so very long to finally obtain, that you will have changed in that long time, and that which you wanted so much, may not provide you with […]
One hand folded into another
You find value in my deficiencies, and fullness, in my vacancy. You find stability in my inconsistency, and bliss, in my melancholy. You find fortitude, in my frailty, and competence, in my inability. You find seriousness, in my buffoonery, and clarity, amidst my perplexity. You find exquisiteness, when I feel ugly, and offer hope, to […]
