Solitary Shibboleth

And thus she stands, a bit eccentric, facing the world in all its might with not but the curlish fro that resides upon her head.

"Female toplessness is legal in a lot of places in the US (although not where I live), and I’d be meeting the letter of the law with a couple of Band-aids. But I have a gut feeling that if I go anywhere that there are people—and particularly anywhere there are children—nobody’s going to be too happy about my Band-aids. The enforcement is social; women just don’t go around topless in the US.

It bothers me because it’s unequal, but it also bothers me in its implications: that my body is inherently sexual, and a man’s body isn’t. It feels like men are being viewed through the first-person lens of “it’s nice to feel the sun on my skin, and I don’t mean anything by it” and women are being viewed through the distinctly third-person lens of “it’s inappropriate for me, a heterosexual man, to see her sexy parts.” It ignores the experiences of people who are turned on by male chests and somehow manage to contain themselves when they see one."

"Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to Truth as a lamp; hold fast to the truth as a refuge. Look not for a refuge in anyone beside yourselves. And those, who shall be a lamp unto themselves, shall betake themselves to no external refuge, but holding fast to the Truth as their lamp, and holding fast to the Truth as their refuge, they shall reach the topmost height."

Currently at Miramar Beach. I’m not exactly a Beach person; I don’t like to party or fry on the shoreline with the masses (their conduct is often a bit obnoxious). Trying to take this as an opportunity to read uninterrupted and experience a change of scenery on my walks. The ocean is admittedly breathtaking. Perhaps I’m not participating in the usual perks but…whatever.

"Give us the strength to weaken, the courage to chicken out, and the conviction to remain forever unconvinced. Let us fall by the wayside, let us doubt, let us throw up our hands in abject surrender. Give us this day, O Lord, and we swear to God we’ll do nothing with it."

"When I reflect that the task which the artist implicitly sets himself to overthrow existing values, to make of the chaos around him an order which is his own, to sow strife and ferment so that by emotional release those who are dead may be restored to life, then it is that I run with joy to the great imperfect ones, their confusion nourishes me,their stuttering is like divine music to my ears"
