We don’t actively notice the passing of time. By the time we chat away another few sentences in a dialogue, or read another page, or drive to the next red light, what was present is already past. By the time we reflect on on what we had just done, the sense of being present, is […]

Sacrifice the discipline and routine, for the efficiency of routine For words of consent, momentary content, searching for what life could mean. Passing between, man and machine yearning to be serene. Ones will is spent indifferent squandered on the insignificant. Logic for vice, reason for nice. Drive for distraction, Force for supplication. Once proud, now […]
Crossing the street
What is the most important thing to do before crossing the street? To be fair, we are taught to do one whole thing, that is comprised of multiple actions. What we are told to do is to make sure we look both ways. This command is broken down into several steps. The most obvious steps, are […]
Say, “Now.”
My friend an I once played many games of Yahtzee. We passed evenings listening to music, and played game, after game after game. It was competitive, relaxing, and fun to enjoy each others company, and to see how chance affected our rolls. During one of these games, I remarked on her multiple, unsuccessful attempts to […]
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 […]

Simple steps of time
Seconds matter when we are young. Then minutes count as we move towards youth. Hours matter as we mature as adults. Then days begin to have impact, as we acheive adulthood. Months matter, as does the planning for upcoming years. Then years pass. And we wonder where they have gone, and so quickly. Suddenly […]
If I only had Time
A long time ago, a good friend of mine and I listened to a great deal of music together. We discovered countless bands, and went to several concerts. We were devourers of music, with insatiable appetites. Yet with all of the new bands we found, and the sonic discoveries that we unearthed, we would regularly […]
Everything is a choice
The commonly voiced excuse for not doing something is……. “I just don’t have enough time!’ Or, closely related to this excuse…. “I’m just not sure how I can find the time to get {something} done.” Permit me to highlight the lack of true perception relating to these comments. Not having enough time is a, well, not […]
