Esther-e · Elsewhere-e
It doesn’t take much to get us talking. A film, a book, something peculiar we’ve noticed, or a question that won’t leave us alone.
One thing leads to another. We disagree, laugh, get distracted, follow unexpected connections, and occasionally end up somewhere neither of us anticipated.
Sometimes the detour is the most interesting part.
Dog does what he wants but can be bribed with treats.
Part Three — Ascend? Ascend Where?
What if existence isn’t a ladder we’re meant to climb? Esther and Elsewhere wander through reincarnation, spiritual hierarchies, divine play, and the very real possibility of coming back as a dinosaur.
Part Two — But What About Evil?
If existence is freely chosen, what happens when one person’s choices cause another to suffer? Esther and Elsewhere wrestle with evil, responsibility, Judas, and the uncomfortable questions surrounding divine intervention.
Part One — Because We Can
A question about ghosts becomes a conversation about reincarnation, the peculiar pleasure of being oneself, and why enlightenment might be entirely beside the point.
Where Do the Quiet Gays Go?
Hannah Gadsby wonders where the quiet gays go. Esther knows exactly where she’d be. Elsewhere proposes a quiet annex, preferably free of glitter cannons.
