Scraggy Beach

Leave a reply

​The sand beneath my feet is hard. I touch the rockbed of Terranea Beach. It wasn’t always sandy, here. They made it so around 2009: when the Resort was established. They presently celebrate Terranea Resort’s tenth anniversary. 

I now scratch my foot upon the scraggy rock surface. Tourists hover and go about their business around me. The leftward rock perch is popular, today! A small, East Asian girl builds a rock tower to my left; an elderly white couple sits behind me. One of them has Bill Clinton and James Patterson’s novel, The President is Missing. I am not curious enough to ask how it is. I have my own novel, Golden Son, beside my right elbow. I enjoy it so far.

A jet-black chopper passed by above, moments ago. I wonder who sat in it.

​The bluster on Terranea Cove continues!

The weather–yes; one ought to discuss…

Near the perch I approached,

But a man earlier than I stood atop

It, all ready.

My time will come:

Freedom at midnight!

It’s a blustery scene out here, on the lukewarm sands of Terranea beach! A boy and his photographer stand to my left; an Asian lad to their left, on the rocks. (The beach is made up of sand and rocks, leading toward the Pacific Ocean.) Farther left still is a man taking photographs of his own: he climbs down the rock-perch he was just atop, a moment ago.

I sit in a crevice on the sand, soaking everything around as I soft-type onto my Kindle Fire 8. My body craves movement…so, off I go.

For then!

Humanism by Suraj (Pt. II)

What does “human existence” consist of? This is the main question an existential humanism must answer.

“Human” is both a biological and historical concept, referring most commonly to the Homo sapiens species. Let us assert that the sub-notion of person comes closer to what is signifiable in truly psychological terms.

Psychologically, persons are thinking, feeling, behaving beings. They are motivated to carry out certain projects; they experience; they perceive and sense.

So much for the latter half of existential humanism. It was said in a previous blog post that existential refers simply to what exists in reality.

Existential humanism, then, denotes what people think, feel, act, are motivated by, experience, perceive, and sense in reality.

It is about both their being and doing…

What could it be that makes existentialism (and existentiality) humanistic?

More basically: What is existential-humanism?

In one sense, humanism is our belief system or ideology pertaining to humans. Existentialism, it has already been said, is the same but for existence.

Existential-humanism concerns–very simply–what we believe about human existence.

In the next post, we will offer a more precise answer for what this domain consists of.
