In the Grand Design

of things

There was in fact

no designer.

All the elements

of existence

Formed

a single body.

 

Afterthot

As far as I know

there is no afterlife

that I have personal knowledge of

via personal experience.

 

Perhaps I've merely forgotten.

 

 

 

 

After spending an extensive number of years attempting to save the world from itself while living in

Olympia, Washington, Dan Ryan followed his sweetie to Minnie's Apple Crisp, Missinota in July 2012. Determined to approach life from a more obtuse angle, he is now a thoroughly committed Zen slacker, practicing guilt-free attachments to hanging out in coffee shops, reading all the wrong books, writing poetry, and enjoying other sensual pleasures. No longer in search of truth, he is instead looking for a good fantasy.
