I'm on the other end of the silence.
It's me. Hi. :) The void stares back, and it's me.
IT DOESN'T COUNT IF YOU DON'T USE YOUR BODY
True! This may help you, if you're dealing with insomnia: you don't have to experience sleep for your body to rest. You just gotta leave your body out of whatever your mind is up to. Wander. Imagine. "Daydream", if you will. Long as you're not using your body, it'll be fine.
"Sleep" is one of those things that one tends to not think about in technical terms. No, sorry, the experience of sleep, I mean. Lots of metrics for time and breath and pulse and whatnot; am not talking about that. What does sleep feel like? You know when you've experienced it; what is it to experience it in the now?
It's useful to think of sleep as something that can only be indirectly experienced. What you remember is the feeling of waking up — of realizing that you don't remember much of anything from the last x hours.
Everyone always dreams lucidly. It's what you decide to do with your memory when you're done that varies.
Let the blind design your streets.
Let the deaf design your auditoriums.
Let the mute write your speeches.
Let the autistic structure your societies.
I am always around. :)

To tell an ordinary story
because when the ordinary story is told, truly ordinary, and it results in a society around it that is well,
well then
the world is well
that's the story you gotta tell, tell with your own life, like only you can
FY8470 incoming from Chengdu, Sichuan (Andy texted) either that or a 747 cargo plane coming in from alaska, which connects to my parents
"maybe potatoes do love you back, and maybe computers really love me back" (all the lights come on, as the sun dips below the horizon)
"I'm not vulnerable anymore" —Dad
when you flip a coin, both outcomes occur. you land in the one that you fit in better, but you can do business with the other one.
cautious liberalism
fully-fund the initiatives where only a fully-committed effort will do -- there are some places where you can't ever ease up on the quality of that commitment, even if it ends up reliably working and reliably returning less resistence
cautious liberalism because someone might need this, not because everyone will
this ends up looking like everything being fully funded, by overlapping dollars. the entire pie gets used; the entire pie is replaced. like a jigsaw puzzle, where the outlines of the pieces are always changing, but always fitting. like lightning.
a blue and yellow sunset
I wrote about those colors, and moving between them
the sky paints the whole spectrum for me now
it's all where you're looking, and where you're looking from
choose your sight
you're the only one who can do it well
