"I do *not* want an AI "summary" of an email, or a book, or a life. I do not want an AI summary of a winter sky, or my father's hands, or the hope in my child's eyes. I do not want an AI summary of the human heart, or the first little shiver of lust, or the long good work of love." (Joseph Fasano)

For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. —Joseph Fasano

What is the meaning of a flower?
It has no meaning; it just is. Alive.
Joseph Campbell said that we’re
so engaged in doing things
to achieve purposes of outer value
that we forget that the inner value,
the rapture of being alive,
is what it’s all about.
