This blog needs to hibernate. Will be back if/when it wakes up.
ARS BREVIS
There is
one art,
no more,
no less:
to do
all things
with art-
lessness.
ASTRO-GYMNASTICS
Do-it-yourself grook
Go on a starlit night,
stand on your head,
leave your feet dangling
outwards into space,
and let the starry
firmament you tread
be, for the moment,
your elected base.
Feel Earth's colossal weight
of ice and granite,
of molten magma,
water, iron, and lead;
and briefly hold
this strangely solid planet
balanced upon
your strangely solid head.
THE UNATTAINABLE IDEAL
We ought to live
each day as though
it were our last day
here below.
But if I did, alas,
I know
it would have killed me
long ago.
- Piet Hein
