Finite Time, Stolen Life
There is a particular grief that emerges once finitude is taken seriously. When time is understood as irretrievably consumed rather than merely spent, systems that demand endless sacrifice become morally intolerable. What is stolen is not comfort or reward, but presence itself—the brief, unrepeatable opportunity to actually live.

Clarity in a Hostile System
Clarity does not confer power or safety; it removes illusion. To see systems as they are is to lose the comfort of stories that justify extraction and inequality. Clarity does not dismantle hostile structures—but it prevents them from occupying the mind, and that refusal is where all meaningful resistance begins.

A Brush With Nihilism
I didn’t go looking for despair; it arrived through recognition. The realization that even humane societies drift, not through malice but comfort, dismantled my faith in permanence. Knowledge does not reliably restrain power, and vigilance decays faster than incentive. What unsettled me wasn’t anger—but grief at the fragility of progress itself.

Herman Husband and the Familiar Shape of an Old Question
Watching a PBS segment on Herman Husband revealed an unexpected symmetry across centuries. Not in ideology, but in position: a shared discomfort with systems that stabilize power while neglecting justice.

Mental Health In An Unhealthy World
Modern distress is not evidence of fragile minds, but of fractured systems. When effort no longer reliably produces security, dignity, or belonging, the psyche responds accordingly.

Reparation of Language
Language is not neutral. It carries histories of power, omission, and harm. When words are distorted, reality follows. Reparation begins by restoring meaning—naming things honestly, refusing euphemism, and reclaiming clarity from manipulation. To repair language is not semantic hygiene; it is ethical reconstruction at the root.

An Introspection into My Identity
This essay is not a rejection of my past, but an accounting of it. It traces how inherited belief, cultural identity, and lived experience collided—and how honesty required choosing coherence over comfort. What follows is not an argument for others to adopt, but a record of how I came to myself.

Essay: Choose Poor
“Choice” is often invoked where none exists. When systems restrict access to dignity, survival becomes reframed as preference. Poverty is moralized, endurance romanticized, and deprivation mislabeled as virtue. To choose poor is not freedom—it is adaptation within constraint, a quiet refusal to pretend the field was ever level.

Update 12/28/2025
Published the Circle of Healing Charter, these take some time as they don’t drag n’ drop cleanly from Microsoft Word, so there’s a bit of restructuring and reformatting that has to be done each time. I also cleaned up the homepage, so Articles I-XXI are no longer in the main list and strictly available via…
