L. Snippets of Striving (con’d)

1. Strivings (1993-1999)

The first of 12 steps?

Believing against the odds

15 seconds at the red light

A prayer wheel, turning

A moment in the spotlight

Of satisfying work

Of the Hanged Man

Of the Tower

Before the Committee

Of pride in one’s humble calling

Holy Terror

A decent allotment

OPEN:

2. Strivings (2000-2004)

Miracle of grace?

A captivity challenged

A nugget tossed

A shitload of driving karma

Another tough choice

A little lesson on Burke Mountain

Avoiding the premature winding down?

Of the jogging high

In mounting the stairs before work

The want of an ox-like constitution

Defiance on the lost highway

Of species loyalty

Stripped down

A celebratory gesture?

An evolutionary experiment?

Of illusionary conceits

Of the illusion of ownership

OPEN:

3. Strivings (2006-2017)

More fear and trembling

A late marriage vow

Getting a fair spin

The taunting presence of certain artifacts

That old house

20 minutes before a meeting

A wobbling faith in reason?

Not quite that old?

Of sinking or swimming

Of weak chins and timid eyes

Desire for finality

Misgivings on the cusp

A recurrent dream narrative, challenged 

Appreciating the slow turn

OPEN:

👍🏼 😐 😬 🥱 👎 💩
