In the presence of Sunshine.

I've got Sunshine and she's got me. Sometimes, I write, but not nearly enough. Sometimes, I'm smart, but not nearly enough. Always, I am here for you.

Her concern with landscapes and living creatures was passionate. This concern, feebly called “love of nature,” seemed to Shevek to be something much broader than love. There are souls, he thoughts, who umbilicus has never been cut. They never got weaned from the universe. They do not understand death as an enemy; they look forward to rotting and turning into humus. It was strange to see Takver take a leaf in her hand, or even a rock. She became an extension of it, it of her.

The Fungal Fantastical

life-after-survival:

Ky & I went out for lunch on Saturday. We had a vegan pizza and vegan ice-cream bars. It was soooo good!

I was given the opportunity to live on this earth, however I didn’t realize that to explore my own home, I’d have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to travel. All of the sudden, as huge as this planet is, most people will have never crossed their own borders because they couldn’t afford it. That is a devastating truth.

Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact.
