Thursday Seeds | The Surface Area of Luck
What is surface area anyway? If Ice cubes take a long time to melt and you need it to go quicker, one way is to make them ice chips. There is more surface area for the ice to become water. Another important thing to keep in mind about that surface area is that there is space involved. If this is say, Ice cubes and shaved ice, it might not be a quick melt down because shaved ice is usually packed together with less space than ice cubes. If you have a tall and narrow glass of water, the surface area is smaller. Iced tea spoons might be needed. Another surface…

Thursday Seeds | Prose to the Hike
What are you doing when you go on a Hike? Sure, your feet are moving. What else? Are you talking to a hiking friend? If you are, you aren’t on steep enough hill. You both should be winded enough that it takes effort to speak. When that’s the case, there is a moment to just be with the outdoors, with your breath, and working with a rhythm that could be disguised with another task. If you are listening to someone else’s story, then you are doing another thing. If you are hiking alone, then maybe your are working on your own story. You could be going back through the details…

Thursday Seeds | Traffic and Crows
“How long does it take to get there?” “An hour.” “But it’s not that far!” “If you travel as the crow flies, you are right. But you have to follow the paved roads.” Are you going to follow the paved roads? What if we technology advancements where we didn’t need roads? Some mobile vehicle that hovers over air would work nicely. I even made a joke about it on social media that this black motorbike hovering machine could be the next best thing to a witch’s broom. You could go as the crow flies. Then what would traffic control be like? Necessary or not? Could we learn navigation…

Thursday Seeds | Color the Marker
If you put a plain wooden stake in the ground, then so be it. If you color the marker and then put it in the ground, it’s possible that the marker, this stake in the ground that you have added, will be seen by others. They may even hold you accountable to what happens even if it is something that is after the fact. If you have a blog post series called Thursday Seeds and a Thursday rolls around and you didn’t post, they notice. Will they come to you about it? If they are a good friend they do! Maybe there is a really good reason. Or it slipped…

Thursday Seeds | Catfish
Here’s the full article for context Catfish is a double cross? Not exactly Catfish is an impersonation? Not exactly either. Catfish is a way to keep its enemy, Cod, from getting too comfortable and mushy. It’s the Buddhist’s tea boy that causes an opposing opposition that keep the fight going. Why do we need the fight? Don’t talk about fight club. Too bad, talking about fight club. We need it. If we don’t have it and we stay on the couch, we die. We catch cancer, obesity, paranoia, maladies of all kinds. Use it or lose it. The catfish is about keeping it.…

Thursday Seeds | Start Again
Walking on the beach yesterday, I’m looking for horseshoe crabs. They are usually on south beach. Not this time, not a one. The water is clear, the waves are gentle, the weather is just about perfect. I’m on a mission. I need to get to the pier, walk it, then run toward north beach to see the turtles. I do so. Not much going on at the pier. The plenty is fisherman with poles. The fish, not so much. The waves are nice enough for surfing but it’s noon and that’s sort of too late for that sort of thing. Early birds get the best waves. I move to the…

Thursday Seeds | Stitch Up the Platform
There’s been a storm! good rain. Big lights in the form of lightening! CRACK! The tree trunk is split. One half to the ground. Other half still standing. Water flows to the hole. “What do you need down there?” “Can I help?” water asks. [Ominous Silence] a series of beeps so subtle. Can you hear them? What are they saying? “Can you hear me?” “Do you care?” In Words call and return fashion. Water responds: “yes.” “We need.” “We need.” “We need.” to to to …. “Stitch up the platform to save the…
