How contingent is the world. How murky. How impenetrable. How ineffable. How promising in equal measures of mystery and despair.
All of it only so much straw. And glorious music.
Inside: Photos of eyeballs, bees, eyeballs, blue hands, and eyeballs. Also inside: Thoughts I want you to read and to live by and, when especially inspired, to set to opera. Also inside: my fight against vegetable tyranny. Just a little something I do so you don’t have to. You're welcome. Come on in and get your jibber jabber on!

Nice--it looks like a painting.
But wait, is that a tree? What about The Code?
Amen. We always need more music.
you make a good point about the code. but if you recall, attorney, what i said is that i can only take photos of trees when isolated and at a distance. so the code was more specific and qualified than what you seem to be accusing me of.
not guilty.

s-s: or at least some people always need more music. "we" here being at least you and I.

And no, I am not making that up--funny how often I find myself saying that...
(Clearly, I have not yet had enough coffee. Which, of course, raises one of the great questions of modern Western thought: can their every actually be too much coffee?)

Solitude.
one necessary precondition for the 'life of the mind' is introspection. and the essential precondition for introspection is solitude.
st--
do you get coffee tummy? i do, and that's when it's too much.
i'm no enemy of bon jovi, by the way. "it's my life" is one of the all-time great rock songs. once upon a time it moved me to tears when i heard it. very powerful.
jonbon--this whole princeton gig is making you a font of cool aphorisms. or maybe i should say i prepared the way for you, and princeton merely turned on the switch?
yes, that's what I'll say.
