The opposite of absurd is chocolate.
A whole industry of workshops, training sessions, retreats and meditation practices promises fulfillment through mindfulness. We need to be reminded to be mindful because we have a mind full of ingrained thought patterns we are not mindful of.

I came across a video from music producer Rick Rubin saying something to the effect of "delusions are where artists live." And it seemed to speak a truth about the artistic process. In this chapter of “A Possible Life”, I go with the term "illusion" (having a slightly less pathological overtone).

Today’s Donald Trump is not the most corrupt president in history. That would be tomorrow’s Donald Trump.

I continue on with my amble through the subject of extending possibilities as we age. This chapter takes on our perception of time. The usual thought is that time seems to accelerate as we age. While that is true, I guess I’m asking; Is it inevitable?

Anyone who thinks that Mahmoud Khalil shouldn’t be released immediately should read up on the Brandenberg v. Ohio Supreme Court decision in 1969.

This part of my personal history shaped me in ways that reveal themselves to me daily. Though the experience itself was in turn blissfull, chaotic, even terrifying, the insights gained into how we perceive the world and interact with each other were long lasting.

“I’m inspired by the quirky, angular humor that rises up and knocks you for a loop all in the space of a sentence or two. If irony or paradox or absurdity play a role, all the better. If I stumble on a pun, my pain is yours.”

You know that windfall you’re seeing in your 401-K right now? Take out a big chunk and send it to the ACLU. My wife did. One way to make it all make sense.
