Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 14/10/2026#vss365 #SouthPark #Towelie #Wisdom Towels teach you that softness is a kind of strength, that absorbing the world takes a special kind of #bravery. Towels, humble towels, remind you that even after the flood of a long day, you can be gathered, dried, and made new again. 4132
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 14/10/2026#vss365 Let them think me mad, #bravery is often mistaken for madness by cowardly men.  0111
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 11/10/2026#vss365 #meditation Close your eyes and become a point of stillness, aware of every passing thought, every shifting shadow, every spinning galaxy, all the while anchored by a profound #calm. 181
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The #tarot card that resonates most strongly with today’s #vss365 prompt, #calm is Temperance. It symbolizes moderation, balance and harmony. 2193
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 11/10/2026#vss365 I know that I appear to be a #calm, composed gentleman. But on the inside, I am a burning cauldron of resentment and rage. 091
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 10/10/2026#vss365 #quake Don’t worry. That “quaking” you feel when you see her - it’s called “love.” It’s chronic and often painful, but it won’t kill you. Probably. 0101
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 10/10/2026#vss365 #Tarot The Tower is the tarot card that resonates most strongly with the concept of #quake. It represents sudden unexpected change, upheaval and shock. 0192
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 09/10/2026#vss365 Yes, yes, I remember! Seven years old, near the old #siren pole at the edge of the playground, I declared myself King of the Morning. And I was. Yes I was!  0101
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yes! And that would probably make a great Netflix limited series, with Emma Stone in the leading role. 000
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026#vss365 #Questions #Introspection If you were fated to spend the rest of your life on a deserted #island, what one person would you be most tempted to take with you? what one person would be the best companion? Are the above the same person? If not, which of the two would you choose, and why? 481
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 06/10/2026#vss365 Old #sailors warn against trusting calm water too quickly. A sea can flatten into glass only moments before a #hurricane. The wise use quiet conditions not for celebration but for adjustment, repair and careful observation. 090

Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026#vss365 #Concepts #Contrasts #Lure is a concept stronger and darker than “attraction.” It connotes “bait”: an appealing surface that conceals a danger . . . . like me. 190
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026#vss365 #DrFredFreud #Relationships #Psychiatry #Psychology  In relationships, distancing #lures. And patients are advised to, “never pursue a distancer.” Good advice, but most of us, including me, don’t follow it. 081

Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026#vss365 The #lure of those eyes, and that red dress, was stronger than my instinct and judgment. She called and I followed, big fucking mistake. 0101

Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 29/09/2026#words #love There’s something intimate about wishing someone a “Good night.” I didn’t realize that the first 10,000 times I said those words. I know that now. I miss saying it. 0161
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 28/09/2026#vss365 #tesearch First I must identify before proceeding to liquefy, simplify, modify and #purify. Finally, I will verify, classify, and hopefully, edify. If the data doesn’t support my hypothesis, I will falsify. 2205

Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026#vss365 Back then, we learned to #nurture love’s trembling flame. And for a long time we thrived in its warmth. I’ve forgotten so much. But not that.  091
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026#vss365 I’m plum tuckered out. I #reckon I’ll head to the Silver Dollar Saloon for a bottle of Red Eye, a warm bed, and some female companionship. 1131
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#vss365 #Tarot The tarot card that resonates most strongly with the word #hunger is the Five of Pentacles. It features two figures that wander, like unanswered prayers, seeking relief. 0193
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 23/09/2026#vss365 I was at a party. In a group of people. And some guy says he has a #passion for writing. I wasn’t sure what he meant, so I asked him, “What do you mean? Do you have an erection when you write?” And everybody laughed at me. I’m not sure why. 0171

Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026#vss365 #TheAlienObservers We have journeyed twenty light years to #explore this wet planet. It seems that the only thing of value we have discovered is ourselves. I believe an Earthling said something like that. Well, that’s at least one thing. 0163
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 16/09/2026#vss365 I prefer the word #commence to the rather plain word “begin.” And I will often proceed it with “shall.” 1173

Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 11/09/2026#vss365 #MicroFiction #Horror I once mistook the attic noises for settling wood, a perception born of #naivete. I know better now.  The noises returned tonight, carrying a rhythm too careful, too sinister to dismiss. 0151
Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 10/09/2026#vss365 So I said to this fellow, “My daily schedule is a carefully curated #mélange of intellectual pursuits.” And then, to my surprise and disappointment, he asked me the meaning of the word “mélange.” Needless to say, I lost interest in the conversation.  0141

Elvis Dylan @elvisdylan.bsky.social · 09/09/2026With every word you read, your eyes will become heavier and heavier. You will feel progressively more relaxed, more peaceful. In this state, you will come to believe that my response to the #vss365 prompt, #moonglade, is the best post you’ve ever read. And then you will CLUCK like a chicken. 3132

He is because by the end of the tale we see him as the lonely boy, the loving man, the miserly man and the wise old man - with each layer leading to the next. “Can you forgive me?” 5297
