About the Author

Twenty-five years of a Kerouacian novelist’s life had the final outcome of Andrew Malcolm’s life’s work: the novel Die Coast Bye Cecilia and the philosophical essay Permanence Reviewed. His twenties and thirties were marked with adventures in, not only hitch-hiking, but canoeing and skateboarding, photography and music, and living, working and learning in a great many places between Southern Ontario and Vancouver Island. Combined with a life dedicated to creative writing, his explorations gave him a unique and weathered perspective on the nature of experience. His perspective and explorations are shared through his work with the intention of inspiring others to explore experience through their own comparative contemplations of their internal and external lives.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the Pressure of Light

For me the above video-image from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is the most haunting image taken of the sun, partly because of the composition, the two distorted squares shoved together and the rapidly changing numbers set in the bottom left, but mainly because of the solar stream it passes through – I think even interstellar…
