A commonplace in which to remember and share the interesting things that have crossed my path. There’s an index page, and I keep a reading journal here too.

Some fragments left in my wake;

“Eventually all things merge into one, and a river flows through it.” ”All his behaviour seems to us a game. He applies himself to linking his movements as if they were mechanisms, the one regulating the other; his gestures and even his voice seem to be mechanisms; he gives himself the quickness and pitiless rapidity of things. He is playing, he is amusing himself. But what is he playing? We need not watch long before we can explain it: he is playing at being a waiter in a cafe.” Cancer cells that are forced to reopen communication with surrounding cells revert to behaving like healthy cells. “There is only the present moment, and never will be anything else . . . what fun to drag it out! And to make it echo, and to get involved, and to fall in love, and to become attached.” This is water. signed char lotte Wylit, wylit, Lywelyn

Ein calon gan estron ŵr,

A gwerin o ffafrgarwyr
Llariaidd eu gwên lle'r oedd gwŷr. “An economy primarily driven by growth must generate discontent.” “We both step and do not step into the same, we both are and are not” On alcohol “We should often blush at our noblest deeds if the world were to see all their underlying motives.” The sun above the cotton grass
Is sinking down like lead
The seagulls know the truth of it
And scream it overhead “Our fear of death seems to me to be an error of evolution.” And now and then
If we must start again
Well, we will know for sure
That I will love you “We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself.”
