And places.

Luxury has many faces.

Debiastributions.

It feels nice to use the original.

Good Fellow Inc.

Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of my retirement from the business of being a Good Fellow. I use the word “business” advisedly. Until five years ago, if the city directory had told the truth, it would have listed after my name, as my real occupation, something like, “General Attender to Things,” or “Pinch Hitter,” or “Fine Old Scout.” I hope I am entitled in some measure to these designations even to-day. But I have quit being an accommodator and nothing else.

The present present.

Als we dan voor elkaar, met elkaar
aanwezig zijn, hoeven we verder niets
te doen. Samen aanwezig rustig wachten,
dat is alles. Samen weten dat niets hoeft.
Dan kunnen we het wonder laten gebeuren
vanzelf, zoals met wonderen altijd.
