I am unknowable. indestructible mystery. at my feet, worlds spawn, rot, collapse,  and born again, through ceaseless aeons. i remain. inscrutable. endless, boundless, with no beginning or end. time itself cannot shake me from my perch. death is no challenge to my station. my truth exists in a realm devoid of light yet absent dark. I am answered question. my faithful disciples will never know disappointment, nor peace. what I have to offer this world, shall never be. 

poor man's backpacking

if you want to experience the wonder and joy and fear of traveling in strange new worlds, go to the regional Costco you never go to.  where everything is familiar yet slightly out of place and frustrating 

, but the same.
