  2. The Silver Strand

    returning 
    to the car
    i see
    a silver strand
    intent on
    capturing me

    i was gone
    but a moment
    yet the spider
    did spin
    from the mirror
    across the window
    to lure
    me in

    it seems
    this small one
    dreams of
    bigger prey
    so too I
    if to my path
    I stay

    this bit
    of web
    is a
    flimsy thing
    but if
    I cast
    it not
    i snare
    nothing

  3. Broken Chair

    I rescued the chair from outside someone’s apartment with the hope of fixing it and having it become a welcome member of our family.

    But, as often happens, it sat around in various places waiting for me to find the time to repair it.

    Finally, I decided it was one more project I did not have time for, and so yesterday I put it out on the sidewalk in the hopes that someone would take it home.

    It sat out there all through yesterday in the rain and the sun, lonely, awaiting a new friend. A few people paused to look but then drove away. Periodically I would look out my window to see it still sitting forlornly there.

    Then this morning I noticed an older gentleman walking past who began to inspect the chair. He picked it up, put it on his back and walked away.

    It is a beautiful chair. It just needs to be repaired, and I am sure its new owner will do just that.

    I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot like that broken chair, waiting for the gentle hands of someone to put me back together again.

    I wait, broken, with the hope that those hands will touch me, I will be healed, and I can have a purpose again.

  4. Distinct, Not Distant

    “The unexamined life is not worth living.” — Socrates I once recorded myself talking to no one at 11 PM, transcribed the whole thing the next morning, and read it back like I was reviewing research notes. Findings: inconclusive. The subject remains uncooperative. This is, apparently, what I do for fun. I am a neuroscientist by training and a thinker by constitution, which means I have two different ways of saying the same thing: something is here, and I need to understand it. The […]

  5. I don't know what a Dalradian rock is, and trying to find out led me to a morass of geologist-speak. But this explanation of the #Dalradian #Supergroup made me smile.
    "The Grampian is the solid foundation of the Dalradian, fairly calm and ordinary: the bass guitar player of the supergroup.... The Appin is the lead singer: shallow, good looking and gets lots of attention.... The Southern Highland group is the drummer: completely crazy."
