Tou Emeet
Have you ever tried to carry gravity on your shoulders? Have you held up hard and felt the need for more holders? Have you? Have you then felt your loins swell and throb at your efforts? Have you pressed on nonetheless, setting aside your comforts? Have you? Have you been summoned by tomorrow’s lucid yearnings? […]
Soar into loneliness
When faced with vacuous, swollen hubris, an ancient drummer comes drumming drumbeats of cowardice; urging dignity to squawk and cower in a corner like a trembling mess, look him in the eye in stilly, stony silence and prod your pride to soar high into loneliness When a small, miserable masquerade comes wearing a cloak […]
Sir, I spy your thoughts
So full of yourself: You Sir, is a boiled egg trying too hard to learn the art of arrant arrogance: the steely, steady, baleful eye, aided by a slight lift of the left lip. But, behold your sagging jawline, Sir: It is being pulled down by mere gravity! Your drool’s barely held back by your […]

Yes, refusing to die, die, die And so, wishes will be water – forming and reforming, flowing without forming dissolving into mist and ether
Identity-revisited
The heart of the human identity qn: why do entities cohere? Why is coherence tentative in relative time? If the ‘natural’ tendency is towards disorder, is coherence a stubborn counterforce that tries to impose order, and there4 crucial for our indeterminate evolution?
New Year?
A “new” year? Humans excel in arbitrary ritualism. This, our globe, spins on, indifferently, around a ball of fire called the sun, not sure if it should flee away from it or crash into it. I guess the conscious beings we are should pause to celebrate that. HNY.
Inequality
Here is a truism about inequality: ‘The effects of small differences in luck or circumstances can drive vastly different outcomes for similar people or nations.’ THE 33 THESES FOR AN ECONOMICS REFORMATION (paraphrased)
We rise and fall – Not!
That we rise and fall is but an illusion for in truth, we neither rise nor fall Instead, we join And disjoin integrate and disintegrate in endless possibilities But understand: joining and disjoining compete ceaselessly in the current form. Joining dominates at first until forces outside and those inside give disjoining an edge […]
