Take Good Care of the Car Please | Liminality

Mr. Anonymous by Darrell Lindsey

He changes a flat tire for a stranger on a desert highway, leaves a fifty dollar tip for a waitress with four kids and an unemployed husband, listens to a veteran in a convenience store parking lot…

From Troubles of The World

We’re mining gold, my friends
when we’re treated like shit
and choose to write poems
while smudging our auras
meditating on peace
building art from darkness.

monkey weasel chase
around the mulberry bush
a way to enrich
working up a refreshing
lather of salty seafoam

2026 PAD Challenge Day 17

my response is :

a house with no foundation
falls in so quickly...
so too does the soul
without ego fail.

We need to build
a foundation,
stable and true...
so that with time
we know the ability
to face the truth.
