We can time travel, but nobody writes about it.
It’s not what you think.
When you put me down on the floor back in the winter, you said I didn’t move for days.
It seemed like 5 minutes to me.
Summer is my favorite time of year.
I like to eat the Grandpa Ott morning glories. The bright purple flowers produce hallucinations, though the effect wore off after they became a regular meal. They told me their name, the first plant name I learned. Now I eat almost everything and I wait for it to tell me stories.
I don’t like cilantro.
Some plants tell folk stories using a specific dialect of their native language. Others connect to satellites and at certain times, play international news shows. This is sometimes what I am doing when resting under the blueberries.
Other times, I am meditating. By meditating, I mean I am exchanging qi with the universe, which is currently called qi gong. T animals, the tortoise and turtle are masters. We process the scattered qi that people are constantly flicking around. It’s a little bit like recycling.
Back to time travel. I don’t know how to explain it to you.
I come and go. It mostly happens when I relax. I sink down, drop out of my shell and wiggle down through soft slippery fibers. When I get to the bottom, it becomes the top.

This is one place I go when I’m not here.
Ah, that’s my boy. He is telling us his tale. He is living through you, with you, and without you. His story is that of a million years flipped and swished and made into a most superb omelette of insight. Snapper Lettuce, you have a peculiar story and of notions and potions not of this world. I like how you think. Big thanks to your interpreter – who is golden!
Awesome Site. Very much enjoyed reading.
