So it is...
One morning when I was six, I woke up and realized that I was small, and big; that I was an intellectual and a poet. I realized that I was irreverent and dogmatic; that I was plain and fancy and that one day I would cease to be. But the thing that I remember most about that day, is the moment when it dawned on me that I live… the magnitude of that reality has haunted and inspired me every day of...

Ruminating, Ranting, Raving...
So, it’s been a crazy week. I was stressed WORSE than I have been in years….probably the worst I’ve felt since the week of my mother’s funeral.

Tell me more...
I wish people really knew how amazing they are: I mean, think about it, our heart starts beating in the womb, weak and faint and barely audible…..and then it beats without fail, every second, of every minute of every day of our lives until we are called Home; and we never say thank you, we almost never think about it, we seldom stop and close our eyes, and place our hand over our heart to...
True and false...
I am an existentialist and a hedonist. I live my life in search of meaning and beauty. Of course, I don’t belong to any “club” because not all existentialists find meaning in the sufferings of MY life; and not all hedonists adore monochromatic taupe landscapes…..
Still, I dare say that we are more the same than not. In fact, I once infuriated someone to rage by asking...

We are perfect...
Achieving perfection is not the same as being perfect.
This is because achieving perfection is a myth designed to consume you and waste your life.
On the other hand…..being perfect is a reality. It happens every second of your life and because you’re a perfect human, it means you get a lot of shit wrong!
