grass pulled blade by blade
gathered into small bundle
and given over to the good
cheer of the passing breeze
thrown, carried on the wind
scattered without regard

this day, this thought, this
life – all coming only to
be placed on the shoulders
of a passing wind and
taken from us forever

However, this institution is almost at the verge of collapse in the Western world, partly due to the state intervention and partly due to the popularization of a materialist culture (owing again to the state’s role in promoting the corporate sector, serving…

*The cover photo of this blog was taken by my extremely talented cousin, Kate Posluszny. She is an amazing photographer and her work is utterly breathtaking. This photo truly captures the beauty and explanation of being bent but not broken, thank you!
