In The Advent of Starship

On Christmas eve our pilgrim finds himself in a land far north of anything he has ever seen…

Solitude

“Solitude is not found so much by looking outside the boundaries of your dwelling but by staying within. Solitude is a deepening of the present and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it.” -Thomas Merton

Life and Death

“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.”                         -Havelock Ellis

Onward to The Palace of Wisdom- Love, Pt. 5

The Big Bang of Love on the Particle Accelerator.

Further along, the road of love is affirmed with our 5th installment as we take on 3 more inflections of love. Have we learned anything? Is the going on the particle accelerator of romance reaping anything new or do we smash into one another, scratch our heads because we have more questions than answers. They say only a fool talks of love. Well, I don’t see an end to our foolishness, so here goes.

Quote9- James Joyce

“His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon the living and the dead.”                                                   –The Dead, James Joyce

The word swoon brings to mind rapture, bliss, rhapsody or a state of grace, transcendence, loss of consciousness, feeling faint.
