Fortune

Stuffed some fortune cookies for my boy, who stands tall and impatient in the frame of childhood's final door:

"Every angry word you utter in life returns against you in some way."

"Doing the right thing doesn't require a second reason, or consensus."

"Lying to oneself preceeds all lies."

"Be ever mindful of gut feelings."

"Follow the natural cycles. When you are hungry, eat. Tired, rest."

"Stop fear in its tracks- it's useful only to a point, then irrational."

"Real threats are rare and obvious."

Logic, a trusted battleground against dred."

"First, see things as they are, no embellishment. Go from there."
