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;

We stole the songs from birds in trees
Bought us time on easy street
Now our paths, they never meet
We chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability
I caught a glimpse, and it's not me “Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.” To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour “And when it is accomplished — behold! — all the truth of life is there: a moment of vision, a sigh, a smile — and the return to an eternal rest.” “The pain now, is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.” “Eventually all things merge into one, and a river flows through it.” signed char lotte Wylit, wylit, Lywelyn
Wylit waed pe gwelit hyn.
Ein calon gan estron ŵr,
Ein coron gan goncwerwr,
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.”
