Living is Enough
I write (we write) in order to make sense of this life, this world, and to see all the words that are in our heads organized in some way that makes sense. Because there are too many words bouncing around inside of us, too many thoughts. How do we make sense of these words? How do we make sense of these thoughts? We tell ourselves stories. We organize these images and ideas that are swimming…

Love is the Proof
Love is the Proof
We should just be grateful to be alive. In this miraculous place we call earth. Everywhere we look there are signs. Everywhere there are mirrors. And I need to remind myself of that all the time. We look around and we see ugliness but there is beauty too. We choose what we see. We choose what we believe. We choose what we hold in our minds. The frame we place around the world is our frame.

Shiny, Squeaky Things This is perfect. The virus should be in the White House. That’s where it belongs. I can see all of its surfaces, coated with the deadly microorganisms.
Crazy World We live in a crazy world. Say that back to yourself out loud and think about each word.
Grass
The distant sound of a lawnmower. That droning engine. The noise it makes when it enters the wet grass, when it runs over a stump. It’s high summer. It’s late morning. When he goes into the garage later he can smell it. Earthy vegetation. The clumps a vibrant green all over the steps, the floor. Clippings that stuck on the mower and fell off. It looks like hair. The cut tops of the lawn where he…

Why We Write
Writing is thinking organized. It is a record of thoughts, reflections, and imaginings. To write is to think out loud. To write well is to think out loud in a way that makes it clear (and entertaining) to you, the reader, what I am thinking.
Who do I write for? Ostensibly it is for you but really it’s for me. I write to clarify my own thoughts. I look back at all I’ve written and I think, do…

The Marks of Living
The Marks of Living
There’s nothing we won’t do to prove we’re here. Because this is so improbable, so unbelievable. This life. This existence. How is it that we’re alive, in these bodies, here, now? If we make a mark of some kind we are real, we are living, we are in this time and in this place. What place? Wherever it is we happen to be standing.
We have names. An alphabetical arrangement of letters that…

The Ineffable Quality of Living
The Ineffable Quality of Living
What is it that is hidden within us? It seems as though we can see it, but we can’t see it. We can feel it. We are so used to perceiving things with our five senses but this is not a sense thing. Our aliveness is not a thing we can see, but it is a thing we can perceive. I don’t often feel it in the moment but when I look back at photographs I can ‘see’ it. Lifeforce. We are beings of energy and…

The Light of the Soul You are beautiful. Yes, you. You are. You may not believe it most of the time. I don’t even believe it about myself most of the time.
Love Machines Sometimes I feel like this tree. I’m alone, on a hill, watching everything, trying, not to be beautiful, but to at least bring some beauty to the world.
What You Can Do, Now
What You Can Do, Now
How is it that something we see can communicate the unseeable? Beyond logic assumptions, and judgments, beyond what might even appear to be facts, lie far greater mysteries. And perhaps it is those – what can’t be named, what can’t be understood, the uncountable, the unclassifiable, whose voice we hear above the din of animal perception. What if you looked at every image as your own? What if you…

Graduation is a State of Mind
Graduation is a State of Mind
When Noah came to me I had to think about what it might be like to graduate high school in this, of all years. The only lasting traditions are the ones you make for yourself, but graduating and moving on is universal. No prom. No Senior cut day. But ten years from now none of that will matter and all we’ll remember is that things were different that year. I remember little from that spring when I…

The Lynching We Saw Murder. We’ve all witnessed a murder. The evidence is clear. There are some white people who are afraid of people of color and that fear drives them to murder.
Them! This is a strange time. A thing that is invisible and pervasive and potentially deadly has shut us down.
Record Needles
Life is about paths. You walk certain paths. I’m not being metaphoric. You walk certain paths and encounter certain things and certain people. The rhythm of your walking is the music that you live in at the moment. It’s important to leave your house and walk. Walking is the engine of thought and surprise. So every day I walk and since I have a dog this is the ostensible reason but really it’s…

We are all The Omega Man I’ve been watching a lot of TCM these days. Turner Classic Movies. Those old films have much to teach me.
