(A Love Story for the Ageless.)I like having you around but I don't write on your skin anymore. (Barrage!)Grow your heart and make sure it keeps time. (Garbage!)Hey Curiosity…what does it feel like not to be in pain? (Well, you either study problems or you solve them.)You and your drive-by goodbyes. (These words…

OK. Episode 1 of Hi-Phi Nation's second season is basically privileged folk with problems I'd love to have (Takeaway: Do not spend time and money on advanced degrees. Lots of learnin' to be found for free! Develop a skill first that can actually help you, your family, your community and someday beyond … ) But,…

You have stared into The Deep Dark for ten hard months. That tower of yours can't come crumbling down fast enough. You need to be knee-deep in debris right now. Think of the dust as humus for a healthy heart (yours, by the way, is a most striking shade of ebony.) Every tree you pass…

It's insensitive to use that phrase in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, but it's because of this deadly storm that I'm thinking about why we tell ourselves the things we tell ourselves.
