- Ghost Days — 6/4/26 — A story about forgotten civilizations helps me understand why old friends are gathering again around unfinished work and an absent fourth voice.
These four memoir entries are ment to be read as a group.
- The Door I Never Opened — 5/20/26 — At seventy-seven, I finally crossed a threshold I had avoided my entire life and discovered that what frightened me most was not hallucination, but transcendence itself.
- Escher on Mushrooms — 5/20/26 — What began as playful hallucination gradually became a meditation on pattern, cognition, porous borders, and the strange machinery through which the mind constructs reality.
- The Return — 5/20/26 — After psychological disorientation gave way to hunger, friendship, and Frankenstein, I realized that what I truly love is not escape from reality, but deeper participation in it.
- Coda — 5/21/26 — An old-growth forest, Christopher Nolan, and the quiet return to my familiar chair became part of a gentle reentry into ordinary life.
- Still Learning from Ants and Wilson — 4/9/26 — Reading E. O. Wilson, I begin to see that the tension between self-interest and collective belonging is not a flaw in human nature, but one of its deepest creative engines.
- Weaving Meaning — 3/25/26 — Meaning doesn’t sit in objects—it emerges in the relationships between them, and comes alive only when we share attention.
- Learning to Dance with the AI Devil — 3/17/26 — What began as curiosity became a year of learning how to move carefully with a powerful new tool rather than turning away from it.
- The Elephant’s Last Breath — 3/16.26 — A fable about what happens when guidance becomes control—and how life returns only when intention is shared.
- Broiling Pork and Immortality — 3/2/26 — Somewhere between ninety degrees and one hundred forty, between flipping pork and avoiding the smoke alarm, I had invented a new artwork.
- The Rider and the Elephant — 2/22/26 — What Haidt’s Rider and Elephant helped me see about how I work—and what I’ve been getting wrong about it.
