Communication

Words left unsaid for days, become months, turn into years, and are set in silent stone. Communication that comes too late practically never came at all.

Wordplay

Any word that exists to describe something means that ‘thing’ exists, long enough to even be described. If Hope is a lie… The word lie means exactly what it means. It is a lie about Hope that Hope is a lie. Therefore, Hope is real, it exists. If Love is a deception… That word gives the truth away. It is deceiving to assume that Love is a deception. Therefore, Love is real, it persists.

Patience is No Virtue

Patience is a virtue, but only to an extent. The food you leave cooking on a burning stove will eventually burn. With enough time, all things rot, all things die, all things burn. You overestimate Patience at your own peril. Wait too long and the entire kitchen will go up in flames.

Sand & Glass

Sand – so soft, crunchy, and caressing – is used to create Glass that has the deadly potential to tear into your skin and gouge out your flesh. Funny how something beautiful turns dangerous if it breaks. When you enjoy the pleasure of walking on beaches of sand, remember, in another setting, they can just as easily be shards of broken glass.

Origins

The fact that the Earth can go on doing what it does for another billion years or more without any help from Human Beings is some proof that our species did not originate here. The fact that all of Earth’s living forms evolved over time without any ‘foundation animal-gene’ to aid their development adds to that proof. The long-established gene-similarities that Humans share with already existing species – including the rings and ROOT-vein structures of trees (!) – ARE further proof that we are not from around here. we probably came over as some basic fluid and were then ‘copy-pasted’ from an amalgamation of organic sources. Whoever 'assembled' us must have really enjoyed integrating all this weakness into a form that can easily be killed simply by falling down at an unfortunate angle. Now, the most glaring proof that the Human Race came, at least genetically speaking, from an alien world rests in one finely observed fact. Planet Earth was never unnaturally threatened with such swift and sudden changes to its climate and ecosystems by anything until Humans grew into a predatory species that ravaged in the name of civilization, and lived in complete denial of its crimes. Wherever we came from, we might have been kicked out by sheer force.

Duality

What most call unethical some call progress. Therein lies the dark duality of the Human mind.
What most think impossible some consider a challenge. Therein rests the bright duality of the Human imagination.

The Tiger & The Peafowl

The Tiger stalked its prey through the trees. A fiery blur of persimmon passion, inexistent until it leaped. The Peafowl studied the tiger’s strength, stealth, subtlety, and sureness.
The Bird desired to become the Beast.
Another time, another day…
The Tiger admired the Peafowl's mesmerizing dance. Wielder of beauty and feather, sets afire senses with hallucinogenic force. The Tiger studied the Peafowl's flight, and was in awe of its mystery, grace, healing wonder, and trilling song.
The Beast desired to become the Bird.
Another day, another time…
The Forest answered the Tiger’s prayer. The Forest harkened to the Peafowl’s wish. When both creatures aged and died, they became one with the Earth, one with the soil and, in time, one of the Trees that dressed the great greens.
The Tiger became one with the Peafowl.
And the Bird became one with the Beast.

Accountability

We regret to announce the death of 'Accountability', which passed away sometime during the covid-19 pandemic. For a certain government we all know and love, it's business as usual. For everyone else, however, it's Uncertainty served fresh. So, the person who burned the whole mall down gets to continue their commute, while the trains have been halted for everyone else? Oh, and the bill is not addressed to the arsonist? R.I.P. 'Accountability', we barely even knew you before.

A Forest on Fire

A rabbit ran swiftly through the woods, yelling at the top of its lungs, “The dragon started a fire, the dragon started a fire!” One by one, all the beasts of the land and feathered creatures of the air, the scaled fish in the lakes and rivers, as well as the trees and flowers, heard the call. They were divided by its suddenness, abruptness. The added uncertainty it brought to an already disturbed forest that was attempting to heal from an outbreak of plague. Every day, like clockwork, instead of the rooster heralding the dawn, the ‘wee wabbit’ ran from one side of the woods to the other, proclaiming, “The dragon started a fire, the dragon started a fire!” Meanwhile, the plague kept several forest-denizens distracted, much effort was being expended to clean their homes of sickliness and cremate their dead. Then one day, the rabbit stopped running. On that same day, the dragon soared above the canopies and declared, “The rabbit was lying all along. It was not the fire that killed it, but the plague. It refused to listen when I insisted it stay in its cubby hole until the disease passed.” What the forest-denizens did not see was that the dragon had devoured the rabbit and hid all connections to the fire that lit the fuse that blew the well that unleased the plague. The dragon knew that a trembling forest permitted more power over its residents. If the dragon wished to eat plenty – and oh, this dragon truly did wish so – it had to ensure that as much prey as possible stood still. After all, the dragon found a way to heal swifter from the plague. After all, it was the dragon that unleashed it in the first place.

Quantum Possibilities

In the insane world of Quantum Science, the teleportation of information has already begun. They ‘entangle’ two quantum-state atoms and separate them. No matter how far one is from the other, what happens to one happens simultaneously to the other. No wonder they call it ‘spooky action at a distance’. Now imagine we create technology that allows us to control several game-changing factors. Everything in existence has a quantum state, after all. That should certainly include fictional stories – books, music, movies, and all ‘made up’ things. Now imagine being able to ‘create’ suitable quantum-state forms/bodies to experience the quantum realms within those places. Imagine spending a day or an entire lifetime in one of your favourite books or films, or perhaps even merging with a beloved piece of music. You can be any character or 'entity' you choose. If you want to be something brand new, an advanced AI quantum-program can 'write or code' you in as needed. Maybe even this Earth we’re on is one such quantum realm, and we’re all living in it using suitable forms/bodies, controlling what we can from another place entirely. Literally ‘spooky action at a distance’. This was probably what inspired the Simulation Theory. Keep imagining, it gets exciting the longer you think about it.
