people listening just-listen
I spend most of my life just listening to people.
children sibling believe
A child who is disillusioned abruptly, by his peers or siblings, being ridiculed for his faith and imagination, may choose never to believe in anything- tangible or intangible- again. To never trust or wonder.
teacher fighting path
The liberator who destroys my property is fighting to save my spirit. The teacher who clears all possessions from my path will set me free.
children father character
You’ve thrown down the gauntlet. You’ve brought my wrath down upon your house. Now, to prove that I exist I must kill you. As the child outlives the father, so must the character bury the author. If you are, in fact, my continuing author, then killing you will end my existence as well. Small loss. Such a life, as your puppet, is not worth living. But… If I destroy you and your dreck script, and I still exist… then my existence will be glorious, for I will become my own master.
mistake thinking biggest-mistake
It's just the biggest mistake I could think to make
our-world people world
This is our world now, and those ancient people are dead.
running fun book
I realized that my book readings were boring me. I was going to go up there and read a passage and sleepwalk through the whole event and I needed to make it more interesting. I wanted to be running and jumping and do something so that the event would be so exciting. I had to trick myself into having fun every time.
stories

dog reality thinking
Rant Casey used to say, "No matter what happens, it's always now..." Talk about cryptic. I think what Rant meant was, we live in the present moment of reality, and no matter what's come before, no matter how much we loved a person or a dog, when it attacks us we'll react to that moment of danger.
notebook dog writing
My writing process isn't a very organized thing. The actual writing part is a tiny part of my life. I often write in public. I bring my laptop or write freehand in notebooks. Then, I'll read through them while I exercise or walk the dog. The very last thing I do is the sitting alone at the computer part.
littles reminders built
Some little part of themselves for someone in the future to discover. Maybe a thought. We were here. We built this. A reminder.
taught values worthless
Find value in what we've been taught is worthless.
weather today resignation
The weather today is partly angry, leading to resignation and ultimatums.
