truth and physics


/with a mischievous invitation in the amber dusk light of fall\

dear reader,


The way we treat other people is a reflection of how we are treating ourselves.


around the time we first got Posie as a puppy,

I ran into something that said

‘it’s never the dog’s fault’


it always comes from self

it’s never the other person


love is giving up your seat

love is moving out of spaces so others can fill them


consider the constant

(why me? why does this always happen to me?)

is the way of thinking-

the normal route to work

not the work

and not the self

not you


don't confuse the route and the thought cars driving on it

the constant might be the roads your thoughts take


(well. it must* be me)

shed it

get it outta here

cause it aint you

it’s how we’ve trained our minds to work


there’s just truth and physics.



from a new place in space,

with a rumble,



*“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”


― Frank Herbert, Dune
