Poetry & Quotes

“Let us give the name of hypothesis to anything that may be proposed to our belief; and just as the electricians speak of live and dead wires, let us speak of any hypothesis as either live or dead.”

            -William James (The Will to Believe)

Wood

I part the out thrusting branches

and come in beneath

the blessed and the blessing trees.

Though I am silent

there is singing around me.

Though I am dark

there is vision around me.

Though I am heavy

there is flight around me.

            -Wendell Berry

Writings

“I seek to resurrect what has been forgotten, as my memories are separated between the past and things that have yet to happen. I search wearily in the dark to conjure what I believe to be true to the nature of my existence. I am an old soul with new flesh, but my mind tells me otherwise. Without my memories, I start anew every time I take on the rites of wearing new flesh. When one’s flesh is born anew, it embodies the Other. In belief lies one’s true intention and with that.”

-Ka Moua (Agnostic: a study of disease)

“It is not about the experience, because it is not there.”
