Dreams that come Like whispers Just beyond our ears They slip by In waking gone As words in a wind Dreams do come And go too Voiceless unto memory Leaving the dreamer In empty lands Steppes of wordless thought
On Truth in Speech
What we say matters. It has weight, and that weight grows exponentially as social influence grows. Due to this, it is all the more important that what is spoken is uttered with the greatest care. If what one says is a lie, or just generally bullshits, then what has been said is of little use … Continue reading On Truth in Speech
Joy for the First Snow
The first snow A simple thing to you or me The first a nuisance perhaps That makes the drive a little longer But for a child... Joy! I found that in my daughter As she spun And laughed At the "So many snow flakes" Squeals of Joy! At the Snow on her nose The first … Continue reading Joy for the First Snow

During the 2008 election he gained a great deal of respect from me when he shot … Continue reading Of the Passing of a Public Figure
The Distraction of the Great Now
As anyone who reads my philosophical posts can tell I try not to address, too overtly anyway, any current event. I stated early on that I believe that it is far more important to discuss wider topics that may, by happenstance, be related to current events. To that end, it has been difficult in recent … Continue reading The Distraction of the Great Now
