    Society whispers to us:  “Stay within these gray, reputable walls.  Forgo creativity and that deep, everlasting wisdom.  Perpetuate, perpetuate, perpetuate.”  But an ancient part of us responds.  It says that for our brief stay on this spinning marble, that we are meant to be explorers; freed by discipline and audacity, subject to no snare of craving, or…

    These thin, imprisoning tines of reality are made mostly by consensus. Having said that, it takes enormous will and training to disagree with them.

    Helping out with 5th grade gym.  Dodgeball.  A bunch of little snots gang up on a meek, kind-hearted kid with glasses, the kind of kid the world tries to break.  He’s close to crying, and truth be told, so am I.  Wild impulse:  I throw my eReader to him (open to Echo, of course).  Magic…

    After every hateful instance, every hair-ripping dose of fury, there are those quiet moments; ones that remind us that underneath it all, there’s some deep fantastical melody; some deep, benevolent wellspring. After all the horror and strife is said and done, we’ll be okay.  I know it.  🙂

    I believe that whatever path we take, however selfish/altruistic, noble/villainous, or indulgent/disciplined it is, we are all (in our own way) grasping for some kind of ascendance-some relief from suffering.  An individual’s path may look repugnant, and may in fact be misguided, but I firmly believe that it is motivated-at the deepest level-to merge with…

    I’m driving.  I see some Bro-ish punks on an overpass, throwing half-full beer cans and spitting loogies at cars.  They’re braying with Nelson-esque laughter, straight out of the Simpsons.  My teeth clench in rage.  A sanitation truck drives by them, and beside me, my eReader (open to Echo, of course) flashes with magic light.  A…
