Mourning Star
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That's all I wanted now, to drift quietly into the sound of nothing. I had searched for that abyss here on earth but 2022 had evolved our planet into one giant satellite that could stream a steady kind of tinnitus you could actually feel. There were no more places one could dwell among the mountaintops and contemplate the Now. There was only the perpetual buzz of communications resonating through the Social Registry chip implanted in every citizen's molar. I needed to find fluent silence.

Love and Marriage
A friend's mother said, "Love is a luxury that cannot be afforded. But a person must get married." What a contradictory statement. If there is no love between two people, then why should they go towards marriage? I always thought that marriage is the product of love, that is, there must be love before marriage is possible. I didn't refute her mother at the time, after all, her mother is a past, perhaps, her mother wanted to express the importance of marriage.

God Served Me Tea At California’s Trippiest Festival
Jon lifted a nebulous green crystal to my face. “Stare into it,” he said. “It will transport you to another universe.” A handful of people huddled at a low table, shoulders wrapped in woven pashminas. The cream-colored drapes of the tent hung around them. Some sat on the ground, others on small pillows. Many had chemically altered perceptions and flying saucer eyes to match. The neon cobweb tablecloth was covered with gems and minerals in a dazzling variety of hues, leaving barely enough space for the tiny glass tea cups.

Time
Officially time goes forward second by second, minute by minute and hour by hour. There are claims it differs in space and in vacuums, but I am only concerned about here on earth. We have all experienced the vagaries of time and how it moves in the real world. We have also found how the movement of time depends on location, problem, and the relationship with others and how their time flows.

The Woodstock of UFOs, and You Missed It
Joshua Tree, California - Last weekend, among the ancient and gnarled joshua trees and placed gently under the firmament of the Milky Way galaxy, was an event that you probably missed. It's been touted as "The Woodstock of UFOs" and indeed you should be bummed you missed it this year, but not for the reasons you think.
