  • Simple, with Detail

    To some, this might come as a surprise but to many likely not: simple is not the equivalent of flat and one-sided superficiality.

  • Water to Fire

    In the kitchen, I have been accused of being in my own world. The attention referred to is never to my own — if such a silly perception would ever even be possible.

    …found a mirror. Confide, I thought, and I did. It’s a fragile concept. Not that glass breaks — and reflections are of denser surface than mirroring glass — but viewing the self in the flesh, not in vain for vanity but in contemplation, does awake an odd sense of seldom auto perception which conveys much…
