Eklektek is a writing repository relevant for both the diversity of the intended subjects and themes, and the philosophical aspect of thought independent of belonging. Ek is abbr for kenetic Energy; Energy stored in motion. The term lek is a type of animal mating behavior that creates a paradox within Darwinian theory... a contradiction within the "Fisherian Runaway" hypothesis explaining, among other things, the extra-ornate plumages of birds. The etymology of lek in this context is from a Swedish noun denoting pleasurable, less rule-bound games and activities, something akin to 'play'. In other fun: Logic. The smallest logic satisfying all conditions is K. Iff you enjoy weird mixed metaphors and non-sequitur then you are in the right place. Lastly, the letter K is thought to have originated from a hieroglyph of a hand, which must be found apropos to the art of writing.

Out of the frying pan and into the snow.

Early evening. 
Middle of winter. 

Snow a meter deep from a crisp mountain storm recently passed. 

In our small town everyone was inside, warm by their heaters, fireplaces, or wood stoves. Everyone except us. The four of us; my dad, my two brothers, and I. No, we weren't inside by our woodstove. We were outside, on our frontporch. We were outside, sweating.
