Unconditional

No one can take in every element of the universe at every point in time, every event, every living being, every moment of joy and sadness and all that lies in between. Our world consists of a circle around each of us that moves with us as we pass through time and space. People enter [...]

Me

Papaya sent me this song.

—- I am not the person who is singing I am the silent one inside I am not the one who laughs at people’s jokes I just pacify their egos I am not my house or my car or my songs They’re only just stops along my way I [...]

Back in Zurich

I’m finally home in Schweiz. Note that my post times are all local because I actually bother to change the timezone when I move. I’ll upload some entries I wrote on the plane later today.

Rollercoaster reflections

Like me

Frog is in New York this week, visiting from Pittsburgh by some random coincidence at the same time I’m out here. We took the subway down to where we thought Little Italy started, but somehow ended up in that disoriented state that occurs when you come up out of the subway and have completely different [...]

The sweetness of friends

Even if I’m not up for cruising the whole city while in New York, I was more than happy to ride the L train four stops to check up on Cookie and Droo’s amazing tea house and bakery on 3rd Avenue. These two went to CMU with me, scored a couple of MHCI degrees, then [...]
