Lurking on my Books page is the promise of a book entitled How to Be a Bazzillionaire: Why You Don’t Have to Be a Rich Person to Live a Rich Life. While my focus is on writing fiction right now (you can go to http://sarashay.com for information about that) I do have hopes of […]

Today I deleted my accounts (multiple) on X/Twitter/Elon’s hobbyhorse. That Place, we’ll call it. At the time I’m writing this, Mr. Muskrat has been systematically dismantling over two centuries of checks and balances to line his overfilled pockets. I’d kept the accounts because I was worried about some spambot seizing my name, but I […] Upon the realization that it’s been literally years since I last updated this fine site, I figured it was time to hunker down and write up all the news about the project. The major update—you will not need SASEs to get a flower for the foreseeable future! This isn’t a permanent arrangement, but it […] Back in the 20th century, I rented a box.

Instead I’ll simply cut directly to a technique I use to bring myself into the present moment. Presence is when we get out of the ramblings of our heads and fully occupy the world around us. Focusing […] I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wandering Where it will go –The Beatles, “Fixing a Hole” The mind wanders. Whether this is a bug or feature depends perhaps on when it wanders and where it wanders to. It can make tedious situations […] Naked City is something of a cross between an open mic and a game show. People sign up to perform, they are called up at random and they are given five minutes to do whatever. If they go over five minutes, they must spin The Wheel of Consequences, which can result in anything from free […] |
