A Little Piece of Eternity Madeline Currah I take my bike in my cold hands, and push out into the street at dawn. There aren't many cars out, and the empty streets seem to me like vast, empty riverbeds of gray. Crossing the biggest riverbed I will have to, I embark on my morning journey. Above the houses with their white stone and vines, the pale moon shines her sweet face. No matter how big, no matter how bright, she seems to me always humble and peaceful, unaware of her own enchantment. She only gives. Her beauty is safe, untouchable: no one can hurt, harm, sully her. Yesterday I read a line in a book: “what is it that is constant between you as a baby, you now, and all the selves you have been and will be? How do you know you are the same person?” As I ride the quiet, pink, dusty city streets with my eye always on the moon, I feel it. I feel all the times I've looked at the moon from my bedroom window, or while laying in the wet grass at night (distraught), seeing her always there as I drove up the highway every night headed home from my first job. I remember her on my 18th birthday, shining bright and full in the mountain wilderness. I remember seeing her for the first time after months of Alaskan day. Now, in the pink desert dawn, among cacti and orange trees and the smell of cow dung, I find her. She brings together my past, present, and future. She connects me to the long line of changes I have been and will be. She promises both consistency and change, and the paradox of how deeply those two are entwined. The moon is my constant watcher, and the only one whose promise of "things will be okay" that I believe. Her sweet promises fill me from the inside and spill out of my body as truth. When I forget myself, I should seek to find her. Sometimes I think of life as one long, continuous poem that never ends. I guess this was just a little piece of it: a little piece of eternity, brought almost into focus. Berkeley Watercolor on Watercolor Paper Bianca Barrett 15
Entropy Brett Wynn Lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder Entropy is a beautiful word that represents an idea that is very repulsive Gradual decline of the mind into what people call mental illness The further into madness we dive, the less help we receive The more medicine starts to fail us and we are pushed to experiment Lack of order or predictability isn’t such a bad thing however No sense trying to live your life the same, too many variables that could go wrong Humans are imperfect, we don’t understand ourselves, therefore, we question everything, even our own way of thinking The beautiful chaos of our lives is something we’ve learned to numb Murder and destruction are shrugged off as nothing We’ve fallen deeper into a state of madness, therefore, we no longer receive help Inkwell Ceramic Marii Ink 16
