APPLE, WORD, KISS. The world filtered through the mind of one Katie Riegel: poet, writer, teacher, sort-of Buddhist, fan of mindfulness, animal lover, prairie girl. Monday, September 9, 2013.

The world is just there, doing its own thing, and we're not in control of very much at all when it comes to our lives, and that's terrifying, so we make up things like we're specially singled out for pain.
