The Impressionable Mind

The first time I heard the name "Jesus Christ"
was when my mom
used it as a swear word.
Seriously, Swear to God
I was about 10 y/o before I learned different.

And the greatest, and what may be called the original sin of the human mind

is sloth, it's over-simplification. We want to think that there is only one cause for every given phenomenon, therefore there is only one cure--there is not! This is the trouble: no phenomenon on the human level, which is a level of immense complexity, can ever have a single cause-- we must always take at least a half a dozen conspiring factors into consideration . . .
-- Aldous Huxley, 1960

My Personality Hurts...

It bends, sways, and settles
harms, hurts, and meddles
lifts, drops, flies,
keeps me on an ever ready ride
