About

Truth is, none of us know what's going on here.

I'm Tom Lewin, writer and author of Sunflowers at the End of Time. My work has been featured in the Cordite Poetry Review.

I've been fortunate to spend the last several years traveling and working as an editor and writer, where I've had the privilege of sharing many unforgettable, surreal experiences with people from vastly different cultures.

My overwhelming conclusion from these interactions is that we should form opinions of the world based on lived experience and intuition and discard anything encouraging divisions or half-baked, armchair insights on the complexities of life.

Because ultimately, after all our colorful projections onto history's canvas, we remain clueless about life's greatest Mysteries—A humbling thought.

The Odd Ends Blog is the ongoing accumulation of my curiosity, encountering worlds within worlds over these wild years, from one absurd experience to the next.

It's a collection of articles, travel stories, poems, insights, and a bi-monthly newsletter from life on the road—An invitation to suspend certainty.
