Woolly backs of cumulonimbus arched from grass to sky and filled the air between green and blue with titanium white. From behind the cloud, the sun airbrushed silver linings and glissaded to the earth in oblique angles of gold. Similar piles of celestial livestock herded slowly across the plains grazing on the happy prairie, shepherded … Continue reading The Remarriage →

Don't think Jacob was that swoll, but he knew how to get low I will be the first to admit I suffer from emotional constipation. Or perhaps it isn’t so much the constipation as the inability to digest life in such a way that produces emotional movements. As evidence of this, I spent two whole … Continue reading Love is a Bloody Nose →

What a fantastic question! Here are a few thoughts on this, which is by no means exhaustive, but enough to munch … Continue reading Practicals →

Give us any phenomenon and we will interrogate it, test it, hypothesize about it, and freeze it in the carbonite of a materialistic universe. The parts that don’t fit in the paradigm … Continue reading Life and Death and Lozenges →

Bloviating. That's the word. He was bloviating. From his mouth came a stream of invectives and grand accusations covering great tracts of space and time. These people, he spat, are the same ones that didn’t let women vote, hate reproductive rights, hosed down blacks in the streets in the '60s and voted for f***ing Trump! … Continue reading call it a lack of self awarenes →
