the carnival inside.me
Who works at the carnival? Not you, but untamed Lions, contortionists who don’t bend back, funny mirrors that reflect the god-awful truth that reality is fragmented and no reflection reflects who you thought you were before. In a carnival it is all about Distortion / Contortion. Now we patch up…

cotton candy
The last thing i want you to think is that my life and work is like cotton candy, saccharin and schmaltzy, that everything worked out just fine. A critic might say that I tell my story in a way that is excessively sentimental, gushing, or over-the-top emotional, and it all…

.ME and my therapist’s experiment with truth
Reflections from my therapist: ‘Now wait a minute,’ you’re going to say. ‘These are stories, not history. What I want to know is, when and how did the events Luke described in his ‘autobiography’ actually take place?’ As Luke’s therapist, I am paid to be concerned for his mental health…

NICE
If you miss an opportunity to share with someone your kindness, that person is going to live their life without that act of quotidian love, which is as powerful as anything grandiose, it adds happiness for that person and the overall happiness of the world, one love at a time.…

This isn’t urgent, timely, or pressing, but it is about time
Just because we are mired in a world that we see from our limited perspective, from our mortality, from a “something” that is deeply ambiguous, we can still try to look beyond our social condition as it is today and imagine the future that is made up of a beautiful…
