Pie I just wanted to make things, that was all really. I never wanted to hurt anybody, but they just wouldn't leave me alone, goddammit... And they were all so beautiful and strong and willing and they all wanted to feed me delectable things from their cook pots stewing in their kitchens with...

Because I said I would. I told you that I would do anything for you, so when you asked me to give you the end of the world, it seemed like a simple enough gift to get. But when we woke up in the morning, and the world was still here, I lied and said that I had gotten up early and made it all...

Just after the World started again, I cracked my knuckles, straightened my chin, hitched up my britches, and got my ass to work in an attempt to let go of the pathetic desire to have someone else prioritize my life for me and tell me what to do next. Life has never been about easy answers, but...

Daodejing 77. Need Is the action of nature not unlike drawing a bow? What is higher is pulled down, and what is lower is raised up; What is taller is shortened, and what is thinner is broadened; Nature's motion decreases those who have more than they need And increases those who need more than...

Excuse me, Self, I didn't see you there... I was brought up to open doors for other people, men and woman, strangers and friends. As a child, I understood this to be both polite and respectful. Perhaps it is only a cultural peculiarity, but this act of consideration is rarely met without...

Daodejing 36. Opposition To reduce someone's influence, first expand it; To reduce someone's force, first increase it; To overthrow someone, first exalt them; To take from someone, first give to them. This is the subtlety by which the weak overcome the strong: Fish should not leave their...

Daodejing 41. Following When the great man learns the Way, he follows it with diligence; When the common man learns the Way, he follows it on occasion; When the mean man learns the Way, he laughs out loud; Those who do not laugh, do not learn at all. Therefore it is said: Who understands the...

CaptainKidd, I am often puzzled by descriptions of a "V" in which the two arms are not in close communication, or at least developing their own relationship. My relationship to Rarechild's husband Catfish grows stronger by the day, and the friendship we share is something unlike any other I...

Cookies And also, I make the best damn soft molasses cookies you have ever tasted.

Start believing this right now. This will all be much easier, every friendship, every intimacy, every conversation, every exchange with a stranger, when the people I love, which includes you, finally see themselves as I do. You are fucking beautiful and what you do is amazing.
