Go With It

The other night I woke from a particularly beautiful and telling dream. It was really little more than a static image, though it felt alive enough, as a dream should. I didn’t travel anywhere, or do anything. I made no “moves.” I was a Go) stone, placed upon a gigantic board surrounded by the opponent’s stones; all of which were women, wearing nothing but their underwear.

Sak's Red Beans and Rice Mess

Not your traditional Creole dish, by any stretch of the imagination, but over the last couple years I’ve started working this sausage, bean, and rice recipe into my diet fairly regularly. I stumbled on this concoction when looking over a few items I had in the cupboard, so much of the traditional Creole seasoning is left out, but it’s still a decent, tasty meal on a tight budget that yields 5 decent plates. Good for protein, fiber, anti-oxidants, and incredibly easy to prepare.

The source I’ve been working with is The Greek Philosophers: From Tales to Aristotle by W.K.C. Guthrie.

Secrets

I love questions. I love thinking about questions; how I’d answer them, what the answers might implicate about me, about the world that I live in. I ran into a fun question recently that I really enjoyed deliberating.

Here’s the question (the origin is at the end of my meandering).

The secrets of this world are many. Who do you share them with?

a. Those who have embraced the truth.
b. Anyone who can pay the price.
c. My blood alone.

Escape 01:11 Discovery

Samara walked through the large, empty house for several minutes before she found Robert sitting on the edge of a king-sized bed in the master bedroom. He was slumped over, his elbows on his knees, with his head down. She walked in and crossed the room, standing by a massive picture-window that looked out onto the lake. “You okay?” she said.
