Mischievous

UPDATE 2026: What’s happening is the weather. Rain this morning, sunshine later today. It’s all good.

UPDATE 2025: “Don’t Die!” is something Voldemort would espouse. “Stay Alive!” is closer to the wizard, Harry Potter”.

UPDATE 2024: Beliefs: 1. Women have a choice 2. No doubt there is a Highest power 3. Science seeks the Truth 4. Sex, like art, is what you make it 5. All good people are welcome to be a great country, yet scoundrels slide. It’s best to have a bias toward goodness unless proven otherwise.

UPDATE 2023: While the snail & snake proved to be problematic, and the mollusk impossible, at least I think I’m over Covid-19. Got one new YOGA pose out of all the suffering. It’s called Sleeping Bear; a good body position for taking the next breath while trying to sleep in the middle of the night.

From 2022: What is on his mind?

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, having nothing to do: once she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures in it. “What is the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?” ~Lewis Carroll

Heard of terahertz waves?

Between the beams of visible light and the blips of radio static, there lies a dead zone where our technology isn’t effective. It’s called the terahertz gap. For decades now, no one’s succeeded in building a consumer device that can transmit terahertz waves.

Inside the Human Cell

I check my heart now, and I find that there is still a feeling there, of something hot & struggling.

I roll my eyes back under my closed lids, and there is the sense of opening in the middle of my forehead.

The chest thing is like fighting for words and the forehead thing is pure & empty, like after all the words have been said.

There now. Belief.

I have the biology of it. All I need is the stuff to put in there. All I need are the words.
