“I looked in the mirror and stared at my reflection, until I was in the head-clearing trance that comes when you stare at something for a long time.”

Work
The Vast Fields of Ordinary
This title evokes the vast landscapes of mundane human experience, suggesting a contemplative work that examines the beauty, meaning, and depthhidden within the fabric of daily life. The pairing of 'vast fields' with 'ordinary' creates a poetic tension between expansiveness and commonality, implying that the ordinary is not limited but rather boundless in its scope. Such a work would likely invite readers to consider the significance of simple moments, the richness of routine experiences, and perhaps the philosophical questions that arise from examining what is typically dismissed as unremarkable. The title itself suggests an exploration of perspective—how the ordinary can appear vast when observed with care, attention, or literary insight. more
