It’s about wanting to live every second. About wanting to feel every inch of yourself. There are places you can go in your body that don’t exist anywhere else in the universe. Do you hear me? …

The Pope — The Pope had met with indigenous leaders before. The difference this time around was that he realised they didn’t need his help — he needed theirs. He needed to let go of Jesus as the one and only saviour and reconnect to an intricate understanding of the web of life…

To the wall — The people started marching to the wall when the war ended. They disassembled the wall in layers. First they cut the electric supply and redirected it to light up the camps so everyone could feel safe at night. Then they cut the barbed wire and melted it down to make…

Alien — Lisa opened her eyes. She couldn’t move. Five shapeless presences hovered around her bed. What do you want? She asked them with her thoughts. We want to inspect an alien, they replied. Lisa went cold. Where was she? Was this her bed? You are alien, she said. You are in…

Total — “Perhaps I AM a total asshole.” “Wow man, that is some impressive insight and personal growth there.” The orange man looked up, blinking back tears. “How can I help to make things better?” “I think… give up power. Admit when you don’t know. Everyone that knows can tell anyway so we never hide as well as we think we do. And no-one is a total asshole. I believe there is some good inside everything and everyone.

The one thing she remembers with utmost clarity is the date. Now nine days shy of a year ago. Every day since — 356 in total — she has been carving a marker. A reminder.

Everyone was desperate. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie. Everyone looking at him — hopeful to be saved from their own bad decisions. He tried to tell them. “Guys, $120K is really not that much. It’s not an unlimited amount. It’s not even one eighth of a million.”

Ramone — Everything changed for Ramone when he discovered his multiples — THE ORIGINAL PUNK BAND. At least that’s what the google machine told him. And as he listened to hit after hit he rediscovered familiar sounds from his childhood. Soundtracks from movies he would never remember. Dances his memory would never…
