Imagine
An orchard
Lush
With plentiful
Peaches, pears
Apples
And plums
An overseer, however,
Only allows you
To partake
Of cherries
Not already
Snatched
By bird or bug
“Look at our variety”
Says the pit boss
“We have sweet
And Tart
Rainier
Black
And Bing”
Amidst words
The Overseer trusts
Our eyes
Pass over
The divergent
Fruit trees at the heart
Of the orchard

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to...
I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess.
Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter.
So, that’s me. More or less.
