As Expected
"Every night, when the house is most quiet, green hands spider their way from my closet to my bed," said Milo.
"And then what," asked Dr. Ni, a prominent psychiatrist specializing in adult sleep disorders.
"We shake hands," replied Milo, a grin awakening his face.
With a hint of disbelief in his voice, Dr. Ni says, "You shake hands?"
"Yes," Milo said, firmly and without hesitation.
"And then what happens?"
"We talk about — you," said Milo.
"Me?"
"Yes, you, Dr. Ni."
"Why me?"
"Because the thing attached to the green hands is very interested in you, Dr. Ni. Very interested. I've told it all about you and how you've been helping me with my nightmares and delusions. It wants to thank you for all that you've done. In fact, it's in the waiting room right now. It wants to shake your hands."

Tendrils 9: Context Sensitive
Trust is a matter of perception.
Commitment is relative to proximity.
Hope is magic dust — and should be sprinkled liberally.
Too often, morality is context sensitive.
Consumers and producers: The yin and yang of greed.
Repetition is an important part of learning, until it stifles creativity.
Your public face and your private face will be present when you face God.
I came up with this collection on my way to <location not important>.
I stopped to get a cup of coffee at <eatery not important>.
I scribbled an initial draft of the Tendrils on <surface not important>.
The loose theme to the collection: context sensitive.

Alternate Version
Repetition is an important part of learning; an alchemy that turns difficult into "second nature."
Your public face and your private face will be present when you face God.
