Skirting finality

Posted on: February 17, 2022 Last updated on: March 2, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
Recently, while hiking, I spied a stout seal languishing in a narrow stretch of water separating a small island from the trail where I stood. The seal lolled about leisurely in the shallows, gently rolling, pirouetting without concern for its…

Hubris of meaning

Posted on: January 22, 2022 Last updated on: January 22, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
While walking along the beach, I noticed a large stump that appeared to have been yanked from the ground before drifting for a lengthy indeterminate period as judged by the smooth veneer of its chain-sawed limbs. The stump’s roots had…

Purgatory’s jewel

Posted on: January 16, 2022 Last updated on: May 13, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
We are lured to the water in tacit tribute to an unseeable unity, both in periods of inspired stillness and foreboding ferocity, with terrible waves woven together in frightful patterns undetected by sense or sentience. One afternoon, my wife and…

Tyrannical anxiety

Posted on: January 10, 2022 Last updated on: January 12, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
Over Christmas, my wife and I visited family in San Francisco, staying at the same beachfront hotel we had on a previous trip south eight years prior. The season, age, and my Parkinson’s progression separated the two hotel stays, factors…

Final Odyssey

Posted on: January 1, 2022 Last updated on: January 12, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
It’s been over ten years since last venturing out during New Year’s Eve, what I used to consider amateur night. That’s what a lifetime of hard drinking will do to you—soften criticism of those who managed to interject a modicum…

Clever grace

Posted on: December 19, 2021 Last updated on: January 12, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
When I was nine, the family hit the road after work one Friday, searching for a place to park our VW to enjoy the outdoors. Almost all coastal Greece is beautiful, making finding a campsite in 1971 easy. After helping…

Loverly

Posted on: December 12, 2021 Last updated on: January 12, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
Part of my recent routine is tackling select morning chores as the day’s first medications wear off and the second batch of drugs ramps up to take over, a sixty-or-so-minute process that begins about 8:15 am. The challenge is to…

Humility’s gentle grace

Posted on: December 8, 2021 Last updated on: December 13, 2021 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
My life—until recent years—mimics a pendulum’s widening arc of extremity, hinting only the slightest hesitation as the center oscillates past quiet with confounding predictability. Recognizing prior patterns of hollow value does not magically charm foibles into fables, and perception alone…

Coexisting realities

Posted on: December 7, 2021 Last updated on: January 12, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
The deep brain stimulator surgically implanted in 2014 has served me well, but its effectiveness wanes each day. A persistent brain fog hounds me, often leaving imagination as my only reliable companion in adventures of memory. Today, I traveled back…

Returning to port

Posted on: December 7, 2021 Last updated on: January 12, 2022 Written by: Peter Comments: 0
My hobbies and ten years in the navy reflect my attraction to the sea, an evolving self-discovery of conflicting visions. Watching the sea’s delicate orchestra of peaceful violence fascinates and thrills, luring, tempting to risk venturing a stroke too far.…
