Oh, To Be Loved by You
I never knew what it was like to be loved by a fish. I underestimated what it was like to rescue an animal and have them know it. Up until this point, the only pets I truly connected with had hair, and Buoy was a fabulous indigo-cobalt with magenta accents at the fins. Betta fish, bred deep within the pet trade with undeniable animal abuse, sported long and flowy fins, especially the males. Buoy had elegant fans as fins, and the downside to that was how difficult swimming could be. In the wild, beta fish have significantly smaller fins-- for obvious reasons. How uncomfortable would it be if humans had unreasonably large feet, all for nothing but cosmetics? Walking and keeping balance would take on new turf, as it has for these beautiful creatures. This was a problem, the gravity of which, sunk much later and deeper.

Hurricane debris
As I sit here during Hurricane Ian, in what I hoped would be stormy silence and solitude. One of our tin roof panels is wedged between the house and the truck making the loudest noises beneath our bedroom and I’m beginning to feel like I’m an ant inside of a tin can. This coastal living is as intense as it is grand. You know it’s bad with hurricane Ian when the Waffle House has closed 21 locations in the state of Florida.

Blogs Enable Breakthroughs for Every Creators
If you give them the opportunity, blogs can help you achieve breakthroughs. Whenever you want to change something about yourself, which is a basic principle in terms of focusing on personal development, you need to battle through some difficult times of mental suffering in order to have a breakthrough. This is a core premise in terms of focusing on personal development.

Be The Man She Needs!
We live love superficially, just to see one or the other how well we do with "love". We don't live for ourselves and our happiness, but to convince others or to drive away loneliness, a feeling that scares people, something like the fear of incense.

Lessons from Our Elders
Jumping into Things A couple years out of college, when I was just starting out putting my education into practice, I was teaching in an area that had many Spanish speakers. During college I had received a minor in Spanish but honestly, I was still rusty when it came to things outside of everyday conversations. Over the summer I chose to travel to a Guatemalan language school to immerse myself in Spanish.

Daily Reflections
09/27/2022 Reductio Ad Absurdum I’ve noticed the concept of a false dichotomy has cropped up in several of journal entries over the course of the year. Until today, I assumed that this was a natural result of my tendency towards mysticism in my belief patterns. In interconnectedness. All dichotomies on a deep enough dive are false because their very opposition exists only in their relation to the supposed disparate things they seek to delineate.
