Deep


in each man


is the knowledge that


something knows of his existence.


Something knows, and


cannot be fled nor


hid from.

"This was a place of deep silence and brooding shadows, and the gods who lived here had no names."

One star fell and another as we walked.

Lifting his hand towards the west, he said –

– How prodigal that sky is of its stars!

They fall and fall, and still the sky is sky.

Two more have gone, but heaven is heaven still.

miaumiau: Franz Kafka, diary entry.

"You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live."

The tiny earth


plunges from the whirling


stars, tiny man from the teeming earth,


and now history bears him further through the ages,


to rebuild persistently the ant-hill of the


cultures which history crushes


underfoot.

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share."

Come


celebrate with me


that everyday something has


tried to kill me and


has failed.
