Hair of the Dog

Drawing the ensō,

entering the void,

an imperfect 

closure.

The daily practice,

letting panic and peace

rise and meet 

in the broken 

window.

Research Says

If we wish to live long lives, researchers say, we must avoid dull rooms and favor certain kinds of light. 

We must, for instance, buy blue bulbs for morning, if we can't afford the sun, then switch to red and green waves after work; we must lay in a fresh supply of firewood and candles for a flickering kind of light before and after dinner; we must make our bedrooms cold and black and fall asleep alone, ideally wearing masks. 

Do researchers really think our deaths can be so easily confused?  I'm sure mine will simply be amused.
