Theodore: “Wow! I’ve never had a trip like this before, bro!”

Lucas: “Me neither. I don’t even remember taking anything…did you dose us again?”

Theodore: “No way, dude! Never again, not after last time!”

Lucas: “Well, what the hell is this then?”

(Lucas holds up his hand, which is perpetually melting and rearticulating itself around its skeletal framework)

Theodore: “That’s pretty gnarly, dude, but look at this!”

(Theodore pulls down his pants to reveal his (or her?) genitals continually in a state of flux)

Lucas: Ew dude! Don’t show me that!

Theodore: Sorry… It feels really weird, though.

Lucas: Yeah, I bet, so does my hand… It really hurts, actually.

Theodore: I didn’t think you’d believe me if I just described it.

Lucas: I mean, it’s kind of hard to believe I’m feeling something I’m only hallucinating.

Theodore: Right?! And isn’t it even weirder that we can see each other’s hallucinations?

Embracing the paradox of being. Writing about spirituality, philosophy, and personal experience, I hope to make you both laugh and think. Maybe even learn.
