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. All of the books you could read, advice you could seek, and motivational speeches you could absorb, are no substitution for internal resolve. […]
Head and Heart
What spectacular snaring of the moment. Perfect imprints of frames, of sounds, of scents, and the incalculable recordings by our cells that we fail to consciously aggregate. 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.

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 […]
Eron’s Chore
Eron shot through the rippling water. He kicked and propelled himself downward. The sun above beaming thinning tendril rays towards him through the water as he dove towards the floor. The pressure built in his ears and nostrils, the air in his lungs seeming to gain weight as he approached the blue sand. As he […]
By action
Of what consequence are shattered dreams? If they never left your head and your heart, then they were never acted upon, and thus never took tangible form. How do we feel pain from ideas that were never forged? How can we be injured by failed goals which were never acted upon? How can we feel […]
