THE HUMAN BEAN

THOUGHTS OF A HUMAN BEAN

Just like every grandparent in search of a way to connect with their grandchild, I asked my 5 year old grandson what he learned in school. After some prodding, he told me that he learned he was a human bean and that all his classmates were human beans too. I thought it was funny and the more I thought about it, I thought he was right. We grow, we look different on the outside and there is a surprise on the inside.

That’s what this page is for. For looking at the patterns, the contradictions, the small absurdities that contain that kernel of truth. Often it’s something we all carry around quietly, assuming we’re the only one, until it turns out that half the people we know have exactly the same experiences. what follows are brief takes on being human beans: sometimes serious, sometimes humorous , and often both at the same time.
