Book Club: Details

A couple of weeks ago, or so … I posted a bulletin about a book club that I considered starting, as well as inquired about other’s clubs that I can join. A few people were interested and wanted to join a club, but didn’t want to start one themselves. With those participants being split between coasts (Los Angeles and Manhattan) … I decided to start a bi-coastal club.

So here’s the deal:

Each month, someone in the club will suggest a book. The book’s genre, and subject matter is irrelevant … you can pick whatever book you want. This way, those who ...

Illustrates: The Living River

Three boys are home sitting idly, when one suggests that they do something. They exchange ideas as to what should be done, and although they partly like the ideas … they don’t exactly agree. So one boy suggests something neutral. “Let’s go camping”, he says. The other two find this interesting, and one asks why. So he says, “you want to relax, and you want hazard, while I want to play. If we go camping there’s all of that and more.” The other two boys emphatically agree, and so they go off on their journey.

Timeless sayings replay in my mind as I try to decide between right and left one choice and the next dividing what I sense, from what makes sense as if I don’t get it.

Shit, I probably don’t.

Not too long ago, somewhere in the duration of a conversation with AlexandraAlexandra reviewsAlexandra reviews, between our tangents about the movements we make, paths we take, and awareness of our state … we discussed what happens when we allow ourselves to be ...

Embarks: From The Cottage On The Beach

After posting my last entry, a few people have asked me to tell them the truth about that poem. Since then I’ve been debating if I should do so publicly, but as an unlisted entry (for those who explicitly seek it). This is that entry. If you ended up here because you’re subscribed, or another reason but do not desire to know the truth about it, then don’t read this. I will decipher every cryptic part of that poem from the beginning. This will be long.

The poem is about the choices we make and the consequences of our actions.

Have you ever ...

Writes: To The Cottage On The Beach

It is a dance between a man and a woman. Where romance can be the difference between reality and dreams. Where the chance of love is a choice between life or death that isn’t so clear. Where even a fantasy or lie can be worth living … things are not as they appear.

Turn . your . volume . up .

He bows to her, taking her fingertips gently in hand. Without being understanding, they argue about the things they desire to change. She steps his way, and curtsies … but the space between them remains, because to get any closer would be ...
