music – Do Make Say Think and  a composition of my own

the thises and thats:

“For we live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; and our time should be counted in the throbs of our hearts as we love and help, learn and strive, and make from our own talents whatever can increase the stock of the world’s good.” from a monumental-looking effort of A.C. Grayling “The Good Book: A Humanist Bible” – I recommend you pore over it

“The author has a passion for doors.  All doors:  doors to mystery…the passion for books, the ferocity, the need, the exultation, the haste to flee the places inhabited by those people close to me, in order to regain the poets and other characters, in their books…In the middle of the house we open the white door and we’re no longer here…escape in broad daylight…people I would’ve never dreamed of approaching while they were alive enter, sometimes, in the very moment I turn toward them as toward people essential to my existence, forever indissociable from my taste, my mobility, my view, enter, suddenly, my other country…” -Helene Cixous “Firstdays of the Year”

and perhaps:

Begin Ending Beginnings

To learn from crows

To father children

To accumulate and recede

Some event sets in motion

Taking wing or stumbling feet

To oscillate between

Begin or conclude

Always the same at once

No difference that we know of

So begin, ending something

as crows and as carrion,

and the first buds of Spring
