The ocean is vast. The vessel, its sails buffeted by light winds, glides upon its open waters. In time, this sailboat will surely encounter a storm. The winds will howl and shriek, and force the craft in directions the captain does not intend. The gale will be so fierce, that the captain will lower the […]

Contemplation
Appeal to others, with the assumption that their disposition is open, but beg not for understanding, from ones whose minds have routinely proven closed to you. Humbly yours, J
The Fly’s Perspective
Think for a moment, on the eye of the fly. It does not move from side to side, or up and down. But it’s complexity is quite considerable. It is a compound eye, made up of thousands of individual visual receptors. For the fly each of these receptors is essentially a lens that allows the […]
The Power of Perception
Everywhere that I look Everything that I see Positivity Every place I glimpse Each direction gazed Beauty All areas I canvas In the world I survey Artistry Of the sites that I’ve been And views taken in Majesty Each point of attention All that greets my eye Incredibility Every direction I stare All spots where […]
Second-Flight First-Crawl

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 […]

Whether the choice of living space is an apartment, flat, loft, efficiency, penthouse, townhouse, ranch house, guest house, tree house, mansion, palace, […]
Eron’s Void
Eron sat, placidly, palms down, atop the rough pine, at the long, cheap, unfinished, wooden workbench. In some considerations, in a different setting, and under alternative light, the bench may have been a table. But here, it was not. Eron tilted his head to the left, and glanced at the few dozen, closely-packed people, positioned […]
Trust, Depend, Follow.
If you are supposed to trust your gut, and rely on the thoughts in your head, then definitely, certainly, absolutely, do not follow your heart. It will lead you wildly astray from sense, logic, reason, and rationale. The path it forges will enter the darkest, most dense, forest of confusion. It will lead you into emotional wilderness, blazing a dusty trail […]
One side, other side, no side.
There is no middle ground with happiness. You either have it or you don’t. You either feel it, or it’s not there at all. It’s a sensation, feeling, and encompassing emotion, that is either present, or not. You can’t be kind of happy. You can’t chose ambivalence in bliss. There isn’t an option that allows […]
