About The Lost Pedestrian

In my wanderings throughout the moments/days/years, I try in earnest to find the mystical within the mundane and the mundane within the mystical, oftentimes confusing one from the other. I have wandered and roamed through many a city, many a town, in a state of wonder and bewilderment, without necessarily going anywhere. I am easily lost, but eventually found. (I am guessing you have just found me). My sincere hope is that you will find Something in this warehouse of thought, memory and false memory, words, numbers, tangents, murmurs, echoes (lots and lots of echoes), voices, dreams, and other paraphernalia.

anonymity is humility: it does not lie in the change of name, cloth or the identification with that which may be anonymous, an ideal, a heroic act, country, and so on. Anonymity is an act of the brain, the conscious … Continue reading →

tempatations

Posted on January 28, 2014 by The Lost Pedestrian

some have said that nights are not meant to be colder than this one. i would not argue. if only it were accompanied by a blizzard. an arctic blast without a blizzard is an empty gesture. a bone chilling gesture, … Continue reading →

possibly something

Posted on January 28, 2014 by The Lost Pedestrian

this may possibly become something else, but I’m not quite sure it’s there yet. some people on the radio tonight were talking about the differences between courage and fearlessness. Since I was listening while driving across the continent, I only picked … Continue reading →

listening without hearing

Posted on January 21, 2014 by The Lost Pedestrian

my temporary hearing loss lingers on. i don’t know how people do it. people who have real hearing loss. it’s completely thrown everything off. timing-wise, conversation-wise, perception- and perspective-wise. i dealt with this a bit better over the weekend when … Continue reading →
