VULNERABILITY

there are certain moments when the veil cascades down, tenderly unmasking the inner beauty and divinity that connects us all, making us naked and intimate in the highest sense. where profoundly we have the ability to see the commonality of experience manifest itself in warm subtleties of human emotion. safely nestled in life's bosom, enraptured by the simple delicate things. we must not be afraid of being vulnerable, for it is by letting go of our inhibition that we are able to see each others hearts.

"...the next day my mom came over. she gave me a note and five dollars. she said: 'take this and buy yourself something nice'.

i would, but i'm not me, and so i don't know what i would want."


"i've never heard god actually talk to me, but he does sometimes call me up and breathe heavily into the phone"

that pretty much sums it up lately.

SIXTY

sixty is the sum of a pair of twin primes (29 + 31), as well as the sum of four consecutive primes (11 + 13 + 17 + 19). it is adjacent to two prime numbers (59,61). it is also the smallest number which is the sum of two odd primes in 6 ways.

my dad would have been 60 years old today, so i would like to talk about what a prime individual he was.

every positive character trait that i feel i possess - i took from him. he taught me how to be an honest, caring, and good man, and to surround myself with honest, caring, good people. men like him are in short supply.

and sixty is also the number of seconds in a minute, and minutes in an hour. i cant help but think about all the time that has passed without him here. all the things that have happened. about how the time we have is so precious.

happy birthday dad.
