Does God

grow?

We are always

beginning and ending.

It's like a shadow on me

all of the time.

I wanted to hear God speak

and I heard knives being sharpened.

Did you give more than was given?

Did you pay more than was paid?

Surrounded

by sickness.

Memory

burns.

The son

of boredom.

— Suzi Gablik describing René Magritte

Curiosity killed the cat

Because it was chasing what came after.

Cetians died eagerly,

curious as to what came next.

— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Word for World is Forest

Not ideas, you know,

but a way of putting them.

— George Eliot, Middlemarch

If death catches us

we only have ourselves to blame.

– Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

Be careful of the worlds you enter;

they may not let you leave.

A corporate attempt

to soothe my nerves.

— Some guy in Listening To Kenny G

We did not know things;

now we know some things.

— Barry Petchesky, The universe came to us
