Vocal, I love you...
Are creators who Don't post their social content... Content creators? /// P.S. Look, poor Vocal admin, I love your boss. I really do. They're my one and only. This is no casual break up or tear down. Others have tried, but ultimately they all fail, and I find myself back here. We have a problem, though--not a big one, mind you. Still, one that I think we need to have a chat. Here's the thing. I do this as a hobby. Someone's probably, rightfully, going to hop into the comments and say how I need a website. They're right, but again, that's really infringing on the hobby/chore/job border, and I don't want to deal with that right now.

Days can be simple, diffuse or complex, it all depends on chance, the will of God, to which we are subject, the singularity of existence, the awakening of faith, a gift from the creator. In this set of events, at any given moment, in an inexpressible time, contained in a prayer, we are surprised to see all our longings, hopes and charms materialized. That day we say:

Writing Love
"I will now initiate you, she said, into the greater mysteries; for he who would proceed in due course should love first one fair form, and then many, and learn the connection of them; and from beautiful bodies he should proceed to beautiful minds, and the beauty of laws and institutions, until he perceives that all beauty is of one kindred; and from institutions he should go on to the sciences, until at last the vision is revealed to him of a single science of universal beauty, and then he will behold the everlasting nature which is the cause of all, and will be near the end. In the contemplation of that supreme being of love he will be purified of earthly leaven, and will behold beauty, not with the bodily eye, but with the eye of the mind, and will bring forth true creations of virtue and wisdom, and be the friend of God and heir of immortality."

Unavoidable Trouble
Brutal. Several other skiers have used this term, unprompted, to describe the weather on the front side of the mountain today. During the long ride up the lift, when I pass over a great void, suspended high between two distant lift towers, the snow comes in at a hard angle. Despite the silence there is a force to it. A howl hides at the edge of those fast moving flakes. A shout hidden in the moments before it is voiced. There is an unrelenting unfairness to it. I, a drop of warmth, barely shielded, high above a frozen Earth, pulled at a constant pace towards the end. I am heading away from the calm. The snowfall increases. I am only aware of my skis due to their weight. What is that inner voice that says jump. Lift the bar and fall into the white. Let us compare, on the rocks below, our fragile wetness to that of a snowflake. Who’s voice is this? There is no sadness to it. Only curiosity. Should we not add red to the white? A shudder. The destination approaches. I feel it before I can see anything. I must disembark into the blinding storm. Brutal.
