Form Follows Function
Blind now to form, This ode for function’s sake. When eyes cease to function, What form does beauty take?

Morning Rain
Last night it rained for the first time in a good long while. This morning, sitting at my desk, the sounds are different… car tires on their way to work peel the water off the street, ravens all a-gossip early, and there are frogs peeping before sunup…frogs in the desert! In February! That will give […]

Be wary your words wrought, forged to inspire, Minds diffract purpose in multiple hues. As bellowsed the soul’s quite prone to catch fire, Regardless the meaning you sought to imbue.

The Sierra Nevada, Great gray waves of cold gray stone, Coffee bright morning eyes aglow with the day’s grand ambitions. The Sun’s first light falls a vivid curtain, illuminant, a cool breeze in accompaniment. Waves, particles, particles, waves–the duality of light can be so mysterious–could not be happier with their luck, with where they’ve *ended up, […]

Forged by millenia these hands, these feet, these legs, this brain. Eons of time and the subtle shifts in how we coped with the challenge before us, with survival. A longer this, a shorter that, for better or for worse, the need to reach the treetops? Perhaps a longer neck and strong tongue would prevail. […]

My sense of Purpose meets my Nihilism in the hot, dry heat of Bishop, California. Purpose, his typical oblivious self, secure within his bubble, lost in his own world, and up today, down tomorrow, world-less Nihilism is feeling rather choleric. “Hello Purpose.” “Oh, hello Nihilism. Jeez, sorry, I almost ran right into you…haven’t seen you […]
