A simple shift in mass, that is all that it takes to rock forward. The curved wood leans with me. It leans until the two tips meet the ceramic floor. I pause for a moment, to feel the cold surface gripping, sliding against my toes. Soft linen wisps against the hairs on my flexed calves. [...]

Yesterday, during my sandwich creating process, I saw a very strange thing. As I drew my hand ouf of the plastic bag of the prewashed spinach, I saw a thin, greenish line. I picked at it, uncertainly, half-expecting it to be a strand of leprechaun hair. In fact, it was a clover. A three leaf [...]

Mr. Doubt and Mr. Faith

Faith is not the antithesis of doubt. Doubt looks you straight in the eye, without a quiver in his lips and says, “Of course it’s impossible.” And with that, he delivers you from insanity. When you are on your ass, Faith extends a hand toward you with a wink and a nod. You pull, expecting [...]
