Motion Perpetual Motion… Imperceptible Movement… We are both in the same moment constantly in motion but barely moving, everything changing so that everything stays the same… one thing leading to another, leading back to the same thing again. It seems no matter how hard we try to break out of the circles we have drawn […]
The plane should be landing right about now, and in a few minutes, the phone would ring. On the other end of the line would be the resonating voice that had come to be so comforting to her. She hated the constant trips out of town, but he had promised her that things would be […]
When I was a child, my father was the type of man who always had passing fancies. He seemed a bit restless and never quite knew what he wanted to be when he grew up, and he was in his late 30s at this time. I suppose I can’t really say much about that, because […]
Today I climbed a hill. Tomorrow, I will stand on the top of a mountain, never looking down, only looking forward and all around. The view from the top of the mountain I seek will be exactly what I choose it to be, and the only question I have to ask now is, are you […]
