the cure for a two hour commute: hot sauce before the drive
his eyes were wet
then the hourglass turned
and her glass comb
gleamed in the candlelight

So I swear by the afterglow of sunset. And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness. And by the moon when it is full. You shall travel from stage to stage in this life and in the Hereafter (the Realm Magnificent).
(Qur'an 84:16­19)
The choice to be a hermit always returns as the natural one. It's as if the venture into social normalcy was a phase, a test to witness the decency of people, that fails like paper's resistance to fire.

-June 2005

I was such a pessimist!

beauty destroyed
