Early sun graces Morning’s cold, icy landscape Glitter fills the air Standing and looking out the living room window at the morning sun, I realized that the wind was blowing the powder snow off of the rooftops. All those tiny ice crystals were sparkling in the bright morning sun. So very beautiful. Words can’t reallyContinue reading “Senyru 5”

The dog and cat sleep Afternoon sun slants sharply Peace personified
After
My name is Washte Kte and this is my story. I’ve written what will probably be my last message of hope. I don’t know how much longer they can keep the Internet functioning. It’s a wonder they’ve kept the electricity going as long as they have. I hope that my message reached the thousand orContinue reading “After”
Things I Just don’t Understand, Part Four
Car Bras Seriously. I have no idea why those things some people put on the front ends of their cars are called bras. They don’t hold anything up. They don’t give a better shape to the front end of the car. They don’t make the front of the car look larger than it is inContinue reading “Things I Just don’t Understand, Part Four”

That it is still relevant today is aContinue reading “The Tao Te Ching: A Book Review”
Home
We’ve lived in our current house for over a year now. Sometimes it still seems foreign to me … as if I am living in someone else’s home. It all looks familiar to me now. But every so often, it also looks wrong. It’s a strange feeling. Like I am totally out of place. WeContinue reading “Home”
The Physician’s Fallacy
We could not get along in today’s world without physicians. That’s pretty much a given. I would not still be here were it not for some really fine trauma doctors. But … There is a limit to what physicians can do and that limit is that they are human. They are subject to all theContinue reading “The Physician’s Fallacy”
Desire
The desire for one small tooth, a molar, in my lower jaw on the right side, has pretty much ruined my life. I tell myself that vanity had nothing to do with it. Truthfully, my mouth is small and even when I smile widely, you don’t see the huge toothless space in my right lowerContinue reading “Desire”
