Adulthood only seems a relocation program in which to hide from former selves; the body remains a disgruntled informant.
Human personalities should be coded like viruses, and warnings issued when a rapid mutation rate signals high virulence.
HERR KEPLER'S NOTEBOOK
Time is the bully anchor of the opposing tug-rope team.
The person with a happy home life tracks glitter through the world; the solitary person leaves snowprints.
-------------------------------------
"The grasshopper warbler's song comes up out of the earth just as you think the day is quietening down. It has no prelude or warm-up: it starts midperformance, as if switched on by the dark, as it if has been singing like this beneath the earth until it was dark enough to come to the surface. As if, though we hardly hear it, this singing never stops."

Oh my. Had to read the first of these aloud to the family. Love the body as "the disgruntled informant"!
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant. Relocation program indeed. May I use it?
