Arguing with God
My homeless friend Raven is back. He has a very myopic view of God. He is convinced that when I am arguing with him I am arguing with God. He believes God is omnipotent which is very common. Hardly anyone actually wrestles with the problem of evil. An all powerful god is complicit with the…

Lacking Wisdom
I made a New Year’s Resolution to describe myself as gnostic more often and a weirdo less often. But I can’t seem to convince anyone that I have experienced eternal truth. That is a very hard sell. On the other hand most people agree without much thought that I am a weirdo. If any of…

Painting
For Christmas my granddaughter sent me an acrylic paint set. It didn’t come with brushes but Stephanie ordered a pack that came today. I am slowly working my way into a space where I can do some actual physical painting. I’ve never made a serious attempt at it before. Wish me luck, and as always…

Selfish
I want more than I need. I’m pretty sure of it. Stephanie wants me to be my authentic self. That I think is my authentic self. She also wants us to be sustainable. I want to eat more than I need to eat. That is not sustainable. I don’t care. I want you to bring…

Centipedes
We have centipedes in the basement. I’m pretty sure they help to control the population of smaller bugs. We prefer a few natural predators to poisons and traps. The centipedes fill a niche in the ecosystem of our house. The move around so unlike our dearly departed spider Bob I can’t tell them apart or…

I Work for a Living
I had a short conversation with an ROTC cadet. He seemed competent so far as he’s been trained. Reminded me a little of myself 40 years ago. He called me sir at the end of the call and without thinking I said, “Don’t call me Sir. I work for a living.” The sergeants would tell…

Perfect
Tonight is perfect. I can’t tell you why. I’m kinda hosting a party where I’m also the biggest guest. Or else I’ve been drinking coffee and THC tonight. Hard to tell really. Am I sufficiently objective to navigate my life or am I just high? Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Perfectly Away!

House and Home
Growing up I was taught that a house was not necessarily a home and that a home wasn’t necessarily a house. But some of the things that make a good house are essential for a good home. A modern house has electricity, plumbing, refrigeration, and internet. I’m not saying you can’t have a home without…

Counter Culture
Danny and I were arguing whether hippies were counter culture as the textbooks say or if they were the main culture in ascent. But it’s late, I’m high, and I needed to start my fast. So we had to end our phonecall. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Away.

Bloody Nose
I got my first bloody nose of the season. Once we turn the furnace on the dry air makes my nostrils weird. This time it was even more strange because it happened in the shower. I went to open the door and realized that there was blood on my hands. It’s difficult to dry off…
