YES
February 28th: I awoke in the night and knew the answer was, is, and always will be, YES. The question is irrelevant. The questions are almost always irrelevant.

Life is Risk
This summer I've been doing a lot of gardening. I've bought lots of flowers and planted lots of seeds, and not all of these flowers and seeds have made it. Some seeds spring up easily, while others refuse to sprout. Children and animals have knocked over some of my planters, losing soil and seed. Our … Continue reading Life is Risk

What eventually happened is that I had a writing conversation with some aspect of myself that identified as Death personified. We had a good chat about some … Continue reading Death, the Comforter

To organize my life. To figure out how to operate and get things … Continue reading we only exist right now
clenched fist
I must let go for the truth is I hold on to nothing See here: I am but a clenched fist grasping illusions which promise satisfaction but only leave me more hungry than before Where does the illusion end and reality begin? Somewhere inside my palm. The clenched fist knows nothing but rabid desperation But … Continue reading clenched fist
