“The first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb, when it comes, find us doing sensible and human things -- praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts -- not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs.” — C.S. Lewis

I love the idea of the husband and wife business. I want to be in the husband and wife business.

Three states I move between: Bloom Mode (building), Whimsy Mode (playing), Muse State (receiving). Most burnout is living in only one.

A piece of my late mom's art. She made it while she was a student at Kendall College of Art & Design in Grand Rapids, MI in the late 70's, when she was about 20. She had a profound sense of humor, which I believe helped her deal with her existential angst. I always understood it. She was an "old soul" even when she was very young. That's a phenomenon I've always been fascinated by, and never fully understood.

Was wondering where all the rocks went
America’s newest national park is rock solid!
Chiricahua is officially our 64th national park. Welcome to the "Wonderland of Rocks."
ALT Lightning strikes beneath dark storm clouds over the rocky landscape of Chiricahua. Green vegetation surrounds clusters of towering rock formations, with a pink glow along the distant horizon.

A little aphorism I just came up with that I’d like you to consider now and remember forever if you like it: “The crab meat is inside of the shell.”
Here’s an example of how you might use it in a conversation: “Well Clarise as they say, the crab meat is inside of the shell.”

*Werner Herzog voice* it is a presumptuous cauliflower, it is a cauliflower that is spitting in the eye of God, for it to look like this... there is growth, yes, but not a growth that is rooted in life, or in vitality... no, it is something darker, more chaotic... it is a kind of narcissism.
I am repulsed by it, but in a strange way, I cannot help but envy it for the sheer magnitude of its conviction in itself. it is a perversion of God's will, yes, but through its sickening nature I am reminded of my own place in the divine order of all things
