I've never understood why people respond to winning awards or recognition with "I am so humbled by this." My instinct says the opposite of that should be true - now that everyone knows you're the most eligible bachelor in Tampa under the age of 30, or whatever, you should feel like hot stuff. And feeling …
A Beat Behind Kant says we are removed from these moments of our lives and we only know their effect just as our vision of stars’ light, living on after their technicolored deaths, is distant from the star itself, heaving gas and heat, a flame – no, a frame of light just visible and always …
Aerial yoga has been in the news a lot lately. Are you wondering what the hype is all about? Or what aerial yoga even is?

Specifically, being in a woman's body? For a quick minute? Growing up is a confusing process, even just physically. One day you know how big you are, and the next your pants are too short and your shoes are pinching at your toes. You begin bumping into stationary things like door frames. It's easy to …
