Falling Asleep Thoughts

     Hmm. Since fruit is like a tree baby, I wonder if trees cry when you eat their fruit. I mean, moms would cry if their babies got eaten. Wait, no, that's not right. It would be the tree's ovaries we eat. Huh.

     Maybe the reason you never see baby pigeons is because ALL of the pigeons are actually baby pigeons and there's just one master pigeon the size of a whale.

     Another weird thought. What if soda cans are alive and when you pop one open you're really just snapping it's neck and drinking its blood in front of its whole family.

     And to top that off, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

A Eulogy

I never thought I'd write my own eulogy. Gosh. This is a strange feeling I get. I'm writing this, but I feel like I've already died, and I'm just waiting for the formalities. Oh well. Maybe I did okay here. I'll be back in a few years anyway.

Challenge

The Spell of Creation

Once, there was no way to make anything.

Then, someone stopped, and discovered their mind.

They used it and cast the spell of invention, creation, and creativity.

Now, the mind wanders through a vast array of thoughts and says,

"I could create that."

Creativity is my favorite spell of all.

Glass Distortion

As I view an old window,

I wonder. How distorted is what you know?
