I’ve heard it said, that you should start each day by making your bed. Supposedly this action provides a sense of accomplishment, and drive, to perform more and more tasks throughout the day, thus leading to each day being a fulfilling experience. What if you forget to make your bed? Does this mean that you […]

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
Eron’s Gift
She lay in the bed an arms length from him. Even in her incomprehensible stillness, when Eron looked at her, the beats of his heart skipped when he gazed upon her beauty. Though he could barely see the rise and fall of her chest, and though her skin was a deathly shade of pale, the […]
Broken Mirror
Before we were able to see ourselves via the photograph…… To view oneself, there were two clear parts in the act of looking in the mirror. One, quite simply, is the lookers decision to gaze into the glass, and for that person to place themselves in front of the reflective panel. The second part, is […]
Progresstus Erectus
As human beings we have an innate yearning to experience, or at a minimum, sense, progress. Whether that be in the effect one has upon ones immediate social network, or, in those more broadly successful, upon a more expansive group of earth populators. Those that have a smaller scope of expectations, want from their lives, […]

There is no map that directed me here, no compass quivering towards this place. There are no markers that lead to this spot. No guide leading me to this destination. In no way was I assisted by the sun. Nor did I follow any moonlit path. The stars above did not point hither. And the universe […]

Returning to the Outdoors
This morning my legs carried me, to the peaks of mountains. Not long ago, my ears heard no sound of commotion. At a quarter past nine, my hands could touch the skies. As the sun rose through the clouds, I could smell the pines. Not long after dawn, I gazed down upon valleys. As midday […]
_______Sunrise, ________Sunset. Sunrise________Sunset________. Meaning
I spend my days in a glorious haze. Searching for ways to keep the nightmares at bay. I spend all my nights pursuing delight. Seeking to send all my demons to flight. The dawns in between, are where I am, yearning. Dusk is where I’m grasping, and hoping, for meaning. Humbly yours, j […]
RetroReflectiveCurrentContendednessSyndrome
I miss the days, of edamame and stand-up comedies. I miss the smiles and sways, laughs, drinks, and games. I miss the days of beers darts, and cheers. I miss those times, of wonder and wines. I miss those old flickers, without seeing the real pictures. I miss water guns, and I miss real fun. […]
