Both our inner life and the floating world around us
Are like the round log bridge of the blind men--
A mind that can cross over is the best guide.
--Hakuin Ekaku, Blind Men Crossing a Bridge
"kai eqaumasa idwn authn qauma mega"
Nocturnal, obsessive, curious, wintry. I keep this journal to communicate with my friends, and so that I will remember things I would otherwise forget. It's almost entirely friends-only.
"I know I am a fool, hoping dirt and glory are both a kind of luminous paint; the humiliations and exaltations that light us up. I see like a bug, everything too large, the pressure of infinity hammering at my hand. But how else to live, vertical that I am, pressed down and pressing up simultaneously? I cannot assume that you will understand me. It is just as likely that as I invent what I want you to say, you will invent what you want to hear. Some story we must have. Stray words on crumpled paper. A weak signal into the outer space of each other."
--Jeanette Winterson, "Gut Symmetries" |
