Today's Tendril...

Experience has shown that "strictly speaking" often includes a lot of pontification.

// Saturday, April 29, 2017

Today's Tendril...

Sometimes you can see right through a lie.

Sometimes a lie is hidden in plain sight.

And sometimes, well, sometimes a lie is a puddle, just waiting for a jumper.

Today's Tendril...

We are all misfits in search of other misfits cut from the same cloth.

Today's Tendril...

Tranquility is like the horizon — always ahead, but never "here."

Today's Tendril...

Never stare into grey skies when you're...

Sad,

Alone,

Caught between (the wings of) Heaven and Hell.

Today's Tendril...

Data is amoral.

Humans are not.

// Monday, April 17, 2017

Today's Tendril...

The trouble with being a visionary is that someone (somewhere) is always looking to poke you in the eye.

// Sunday, April 16, 2017

Today's Tendril...

"Possiblue" — It's like possible, only a little sadder.

// Saturday, April 15, 2017

Today's Tendril...

Diplomacy — Context sensitive.
Stupidity — One size fits all.
Reality — Skewed and skewered.
The Ever Present Now – Always the view from "here."

Today's Tendril...

Don't let your tipping point become your tripping point.

Today's Tendril...

The loss of personality in digital interpersonal communication is not so much the content of the message, as the inability to transmit the "personal touch" when all that is provided is the sterile sequence of 1's and 0's.

Today's Tendril...

Vapor trails and contrails are the sky spines of a vivid imagination.

Today's Tendril...

The only memories worth keeping—worth trying to keep—are the ones we carry in our hearts,

On our shoulders,

Around our necks.

What about everything else?

Well, they're stored in the attics,

Basements,

Dustbins,

And closets of the mind.

We Come in Peace 2

Today's Tendril...

Sometimes mistakes become scars.

Sometimes mistakes are easily erased.

And sometimes, well sometimes, mistakes become monuments of warning,

recognition,

or remembrance.

// Thursday, March 02, 2017

Today's Tendril...

Interpretation is a culling of your/our/my mental lines-of-sight.

Today's Tendril... Logic of Appearances 2

First impressions are icebergs,

anchors,

and boxes.

Today's Tendril...

What's worse: a faith full of caveats or a faith full of absolutes?

// Monday, February 27, 2017

Today's Tendril...

Before you open the door to your heart, be certain you know who you're letting in.

Logic of Appearances 1

Point and whisper.

Logic of appearances.

Condemn on sight.

Logic of appearances.

Image over substance.

Logic of appearances.

Acceptance feeds expectation.

Logic of appearances.

Acceptability in context.

Logic of appearances.

But no book is its cover,

And no mirror is its face.

Today's Tendril...

Clustering requires "u" and "i".

Lines of Exploration 2

Taglines and frontlines,

And lines in the sand.

Headlines and bylines,

And "truth" that's been canned.

There's more to a story,

Even at "The End,"

For the fabric of a soul,

Will always need a mend.

Today's Tendril...

Knowledge is like a jar full of sand — gaps remain between the grains.

Today's Tendril... A Cliche Re-revisited

There's no "I" in team.

But there is in reality.

// Friday, February 17, 2017

Today's Tendril...

All too easy to hoist the sails of popular opinion and catch the winds of prevailing thought.

Not so easy to put the oars in the waters of personal opinion and row to the shores of independent thought.
