the tides have been fluctuating more than usual lately. i feel as though i'm rising and falling in distances only measurable in miles and the year after next i'd like to go home. thoughts of mine keep returning to the idea of a future near the rhine again, and then to foggy bottom. it's a difficult thing to say, that you're just wandering out in

sometimes things like that make me feel so little, but sometimes it is the opposite. just moments. the concept, of how some of them will be remembered forever by some, and others by others. that little wisp of time, hung in the air, and then it's gone. and being there for each moment, the births and deaths of people and concepts- it's amazing.

mmmmm you understand it, too.
who is time and where is life?
everything, nothing, all at once the same and
philo-sophy; f&-'lä-s(&-)fE; the love of learning

[plathsrevenge]

yes

Please read In The Skin of a Lion by Micheal Ondaatje.
I think you will like it.

[wartimeheroine]

i'll certainly add it to my list of summer reading!
(if you think of any others, do let me know!)

oi vey. amazing.

your breath may fade in time but your impact (your personal colors and sounds and motions) will echo throughout the hollow tranquility of eternal return.

THAT was beautiful.

gabriel garcia márquez is most amazing.
have you read his work in it's original language?

your writing, too, is so beautiful.

[wartimeheroine]

unfortunately i've not read it in the original spanish but
i'm enjoying his words all the same in english :)

& thank you, very much.

The opening sentence of "Hundred Years of Solitude" is a favorite line...

And which former Eastern Bloc country was your birthplace?

[wartimeheroine]

i was nearly two years old when the berlin wall fell;
a symbol for unification and the dissolution of red flags in my country.

Aha: the ex-DDR....

I was there a few months after the Wall came down...
