disputatious lunacy

Science deals with observable phenomena. We have words for shit we might not yet understand. An "apparition" may be a trick of light, an imprint playing itself back... or perhaps a ghost, phantom, spirit, whatever you call it... conscious energy that remains after neurological decomposition... dead people, et cetera.

Is it absurd to entertain such notions or to actively believe in the paranormal? "Yes, it is." you say? Hogwash! You probably believe ridiculous ideas like our Earth being a perfect sphere or that omnivores (such as humans) require animal products in their diets, but you can't imagine that matter and energy can only be converted, never destroyed? If that sounds preposterous, look at a compost heap, then at the plants growing from damp soil!

That's what I call proof of life after death, reincarnation, transmigration of the soul. You are the decisions you make and the food you eat, the only person you can defeat. Are you a graveyard or a garden?

$100 of vegan food

Mom and I went to Lion Market today and stopped at Safeway briefly for a few more items. Did you notice I've been snacking on matzos?

$25 of groceries

goats

I had a dream that I decided I wanted to keep goats in the patio, which isn't really so good an idea because it's a small garden. Anyway, little goats started to sneak in from a neighbor's backyard to live in mine! It was a pleasant little dream...

hope

I find hope in this potato plant growing from concrete.

The soil is fertile.
