Lupusolus Unbound



Under the cold, watchful eye of the moon, I tread through the snow-covered wilderness. The night is a vast, silent expanse, and the chill bites at my fur, a constant reminder of my solitude. The pack sleeps huddled together, wrapped in the warmth of their collective body heat, their breaths mingling in the frosty air. They find comfort in numbers, bound by the traditions and safety of the group. But I, Lupusolus, have chosen a different path. In the silence of the night, I find my truth, a song of freedom that resonates with the wild's untamed spirit.

In my solitude, I am unbound. I am a hunter of dreams, free to roam where my instincts lead me. There are no rules to bind me, no chains to hold me back. The night is my canvas, and I paint my journey with the strokes of my paws on the snow. The pack's call is a distant echo, a siren's song that promises safety and belonging, but I have chosen liberty over conformity.

The pack offers security, a shield from harm, and a chance to thrive. In their midst, I was whole, yet bound by the expectations and customs that dictated my every move. The warmth of their embrace was a binding charm, a comfort that came with limits. I spurned these expectations, choosing instead the call of the wild, the freedom to wander alone, even as the nights grew long and cold.

Hurt by the loss of my pack, I am resolute in my quest. In solitude, I find my own path, my own test. The moon's cold light is my only guide, casting shadows where secrets hide. I hunt the night, a soul unchained, and in this solitude, my spirit gains strength. The pack's warmth is a distant dream, a memory of what once seemed like home.

In the pack, there is a balance of freedom and belonging, a necessity for survival. But in my heart, I know the truth. In solitude, I am unbound, free to chase the moon and the stars. The pack's call is a reminder of what I have left behind, but it is also a testament to my choice, my resolve to live by my own rules.

The wilderness is my domain, a realm where I am both hunter and hunted. The cold night air fills my lungs, and the silence is a symphony that only I can hear. I am Lupusolus, a lone wolf, free to roam, free to dream, free to be. The pack's norms no longer bind me, and in this freedom, I find my true self.

Yet, the pack's warmth and safety are not forgotten. They are a part of me, a reminder of the balance I once knew. In their midst, I was whole, but now, in my solitude, I am unbound. The journey is mine alone, a path that I have chosen, and in this choice, I find my strength.

For in my heart, I know the truth. In solitude, I am unbound, and in the pack, I find proof of what I have left behind. Both is a necessity for all, to be free and whole, to rise and to fall.

Normative Barber-arians

 


For many decades the barber's chair was/is a kind of special communal space, of news, gossip, debate, and familiar faces. However in the era of quick cuts this has fallen away, as we have become a thing to be processed and moved along.

Every family is from taboo


In every family tree, it's true, 
Lie secrets deep, a hidden view. 
Roots entwined in tales askew, 
Of whispers dark and deeds taboo.
Illegitimacy, a shadowed hue, 
Criminal acts, a past untrue. 
Mental illness, hidden too, 
In shadows where our secrets brew.
Same-sex love and bonds anew, 
Incest, rape, and struggles through. 
Addiction's grip, a silent coup, 
All woven in our genetic glue.
These taboos form the roots we knew, 
A common thread in our family crew. 
For in our genes, the past does strew, 
For every branch, the roots taboo grew.

Entangled Cat Observes


 



Divine Mystery Cosmic Void


 I’ll attempt to break down my logic, without claiming it as truth.
Let’s substitute ‘divine’ with ‘first mover,’ a term often used to describe the original originator. This suggests that there was once nothing, then something, implying the divine exists beyond all things and non-things.
Assume the cosmos includes everything we can perceive or imagine. If it exists, it’s part of the cosmos. The void, then, is everything that isn’t the cosmos—all the non-cosmos.
This simplifies the cosmos and void as a way to describe all beings and non-beings.
The aphorism can be interpreted in three ways:
If there is divinity, it lies beyond us in the unexplorable void.
If there is no divinity, it remains beyond us as we cannot explore the void.
We can never know if divinity exists beyond the void or cosmos.

Rebel Edge


 

Clarity Comes


 
In Gordium, a knot so keen,
A prophecy of kings unseen.
I came, with courage and a plan,
To conquer chaos, as I can.

With cunning, I cut through the cord,
Clearing clutter, claiming reward.
Keen to clear life's tangled thread,
Clarity conquered, chaos dead.

In my mind, the clutter grows,
Confusing thoughts in chaotic flows.
Cut through chaos, clear the flutter,
Clarity comes when I ignore the clutter.
