Daily

Suspended in an ocean of

sameness, blue deepening 
to black below, colors 
cease to exist.  There are no
corners, few extraordinary 
moments except when we
unexpectedly survive an
encounter with very large
teeth. Rays of sunlight cut 
the surface like golden
glass, marine life breaking
through in great shimmering 
pods. These sightings occur 
at odd times, when we may or
may not recognize our
singular insignificance. They
give us a perspective of
scale.

Glasses

My beliefs are like any 
other’s beliefs, flawed 
and filtered as through
sunglasses so everything
looks a certain color. I 
know this, but still must
wear the glasses, or I 
cannot see at all. 

“Humility is essential,” I
say with utter confidence,
and so, betray my own
statement.
