Nothing you can’t handle
The future is a hydra
With many grinning heads.
Fortunately
It can only attack
With one head at a time.
Composition in red, white, and Whole wheat
Here is where my creativity went today:
This pie has cranberries, Granny Smith apples, lots of white sugar, apple cider vinegar, the juice and rind from one small orange, a little lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, almond extract, tapioca for thickening, and a homemade whole wheat crust.
Goodness, I hope it tastes all right. It’s pretty, at least.
Happy pre-Thanksgiving cooking frenzy!
Pitfalls of Bounty
The Holidays Approacheth.
I’m not going to be a very consistent blogger over the holidays. Don’t worry about me! I’m most likely visiting friends and family, getting fat, you know, the same stuff you probably do, except louder, and with more complicated food. I’ll still post as often as I can.
Doing without
Is not complicated.
We just try to live together
Without hurting each other.
If we can get food and love
Life is fulfilled.
If we get bounty
What happens next?
Things get a little more complicated
Because we get confused.
We’re not supposed to be prosperous.
Another meeting doodle. Partway through I started trying to draw reflected light. I think it’s the first time I’ve been remotely successful at it.
silent too long
I’ve been keeping this notebook by my bed
and I haven’t written a damn thing.
I can’t keep living
a wordless existence.
I can’t sustain this silence.
A blank page is a sin
an unexpressed thought, a loss.
I’ve been mute too long.
Even a marble statue
emotes.
loneliness
is the worst curse a human being can bear
it’s why we obsess about
love
identity
society
family
none of us can stand to be alone
and a good person
will not suffer to see
another one
in isolation.
Without the capacity to communicate
we are diminished.
