The Adversity Advantage
We’re babies when we notice opposites, so day & night or open/shut are taught with ease, just like we learn which contour fits each hole in sorting toys. With further thought as children, we begin to reason thus: that pain … Continue reading
Outside Cat
Your kitty is a house cat – not a beast of prey. And though I’ve seen her kill a bird, her instincts are dim echoes we’ve decreased with centuries of breeding. It’s absurd to think she wants a veldt or … Continue reading
Complication
The scientists I’m reading now are through with carbohydrates that have been refined. Mercola wants to limit protein too, while Naiman has more meat and eggs in mind. They all agree that sugar’s toxic stuff, and no one tries defending … Continue reading
Epi (A Preposition)
When I was young, I always looked ahead. Anticipating power when I grew, as soon as I knew one day I’d be dead I started listing things I had to do before my end: have sex with more than one; … Continue reading

Uncertain about toilets, sleeping rough, the river work, the weather, and the wet, I valued sibling benefits enough to purchase neoprene and risk regret. We rafted down a canyon fifty miles, engorged in desert, walled in stone and glass. We … Continue reading
Five Days
Five days away from Internet and phone exceeded expectation. We fifteen had solitude where no one was alone except for shitting minutes. In between the rafting, we conversed or dined or slept without alarms or heartburn. Global news could not … Continue reading
No Question
A human life’s too short to comprehend the purpose of existence. What we see is just a slice of time and space. The end defies our wisdom like infinity. We needn’t solve the question to survive to reproduce our traits … Continue reading
