Zen of the Unhurried

In the midst of an unprecedented business slowdown that has the potential to undo what took me 5 years to build, I’ve been forced to alter my approach to the workday in a small, yet significant way. Even as I’ve committed to adapting my business for survival there is significantly less for me to doContinue reading “Zen of the Unhurried”

Chaos From Within

OK, that’s one way to start the day. I just had an encounter with an irate homeless man who chose my office property to come unglued. From my 2nd floor window I witnessed him come down street, tear up flower beds all awhile yelling “fuck this, fuck that”. Figuring he was just having a badContinue reading “Chaos From Within”

Scenes From a Modern Pandemic

There was this undercurrent of panic coursing just beneath the surface at the store this morning that was most unsettling. Like we were one cough away from pandemonium. People cast their gazes about frantically, eyes darting from shelf to shelf in a twisted pantomime of dream induced REM, fearful of making contact. The dreamlike qualityContinue reading “Scenes From a Modern Pandemic”

The Moment

The meaning of life is in the moment. Stop looking far and wide, beneath stones, around the next corner or deep in your memories. Stop combing the minutia of experience for significance, the sole purpose for being is found right here in this very moment and nothing more. Whatever it is you are doing atContinue reading “The Moment”

Scared by Design

For anyone genuinely perplexed by the chaos swirling around this current global crisis and left wondering why we all can’t just chill out despite the preponderance of of evidence to the contrary I ask you to simply consider this: Nervousness and overabundance of caution are in our very nature. Early man developed a fear ofContinue reading “Scared by Design”

Quantum Pixel Bit

Any meaning we ascribe to life is purely self-aggrandizing and woefully ephemeral. The wider our vision grows the smaller and less significant we become until ultimately we dissolve into cosmic dust motes drifting endlessly on currents of time. Against the backdrop of the infinite our existence is beyond inconsequential and approaches zero. A single bitContinue reading “Quantum Pixel Bit”

Apoplexatic

Let’s just do away with the notion that we give two shits about the well being of our fellow human. We are well beyond the point of “put up or shut up” and now reside squarely in the dominion of denial. Atrocities continue to pile up at the alter of power with increasing frequency whileContinue reading “Apoplexatic”

Futility Level: Zax

It seems with alarming regularity the tone and timbre of discourse found in your feed of choice pendulates feverishly from side to side. The carelessly sown seeds of discord sprouting gardens of relativist “truths” trimmed and arranged into convenient bouquets of nonsense. With an involuntary “click” we share these arraignments of absurdity without pause andContinue reading “Futility Level: Zax”

On The Nature of Reality

Did I dream this life And am I still asleep A quick slip down the rabbit hole Leads to a trip to the underneath I spiral down the emptiness Where up is down and down is out Tiptoe through absurdities Too curious to think about I venture out among the chaos Wander down to depthsContinue reading “On The Nature of Reality”
