my kids wonder why,
i like melancholy music
and the sound of rain
swish swish swish; tires through puddles
the nature of life is to kick you when you’re down
the nature of living is to keep trying to get up.
(For Erik and Mrs. Fitzpatrick)
The Ramblings
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction. — E.F. Schumacher
