“Maybe doing nothing’s better than doing this.”
You and I both loved what you and I spoke of and others just dream of…
...Excuse me, are you lost? Perhaps you would care to visit the site map
Rhaeg has pretty much died :(
So I’ve placed an order for a new harddrive :)
Bigger and better. And I don’t expect to have permanently lost access to all my photos and personal files — I’ll teach Rhaeg to talk to an external closure or the docking station that I’ve also ordered.
Amazon loves me.
On one of the first pages in Til We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis is a line:
The Moon’s gone down, but
Alone I lie.
Reading this threw me for a loop, since I had also just started reading The Moon is Down by John Steinbeck and I fully forgot which book I was reading. I wonder, and I think, that Orson Scott Card’s line from Ender’s Game:
the enemy’s gate is down
must stem from Steinbeck’s line or be rooted from the same source. Their message is the same.
From The Moon is Down:
Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.
How do I adequately convey how good this book is? Its story and message are so simple, but so deep, sad, beautiful, ugly, sad, and true. Steinbeck must have seen so much beauty, and known so much pain, to write what and as he does.
It’s impossible to see anything exactly as it is. We look at everything through physical, mental, emotional lenses, maybe also spiritual and metaphysical lenses.
This does not negate the existence of Truth, but does indicate there’s more that composes it than simply its object.
And compartmentalization may be practical and sometimes efficient, but it is never ultimately true; everything, everything, everything is connected.
There is no ice cream and no fun cheeses in this house right now. Do I really live here?
I really wish I could post comments on shared items in Google Reader. It’s so aggravating that I can’t.
Google’s letting me down hard.
Skimming old posts..
I vaguely remember August 30 ramble and The Pink Tie, but if not for them being posted on my own site, I’d hardly recognize having written some of them at all.. (Inventor of the Upatented Internet, Lil Goldfish Ramble)
