Dreaming

"'Why bother to live at all?' My father—so many times he said it that I memorized and used it to repeat nights to fall asleep and later in the foxholes to stay awake — anyway, he used to always say to mom when we would drive out to the beach: there he would stand, his face to the sea:

'More mystery and secrets there, mother, than in the stars because it is so alive, so close, gives so much and yet keeps so much of the unknown to itself— the dread so unfathomable, agonizing us with its immediacy and awful majesty.'

"And then he would say pointing to the blazing sun:

'Like standing ten miles from the sun! Whatever the dread how can it be any other way? And how could anyone want to escape this great privilege of living it?' And then over and over again he would say: 'What glory, power and God-awful truth!'”                                                         

from: A Tale of Love & War

"The evident need of otherness and the demonstration of uncontrollable dreams substantiate that there is a governance [whether good or bad] )underlying what is normally conceived as the self in itself."

The Internet is the last line of defense in freedom to express. 

Evaluation should not be left 

to self-styled professionals; 

today's literary agents and editors 

would at most think twice 

before rejecting Hamlet 

because of its length.

I'd appreciate your letting me know

what you think of  what you read.
