And so I have been (not) thinking and have come to the conclusion that...in the past weeks, in a state of complete recollection of past days as if nothing new really ever matters anymore because new only means old. Gracefully yours.

Lesley Krueger's Toronto novel: The Corner Garden (2003)

‎"It is true that this country has recently become known for its writing. There are now famous authors walking these streets. I have seen one or two myself, wearing their scruffy black clothes. Yet what is writing but the most private of arts? This is a private country. A private city. What else could flourish here but writing?"

We sometimes live in a "Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back" kind of world

A profound realization today was that he...

I think we are all connected in profound ways we don't even realize
He...

Problem is the language

Solution is the language
But ultimately,
... stuck is stuck.
This way or that
That way or this.

A series of confusion in my white brain cells take me to the verge of existential questions to the core: what the heck am I doing when I am doing this and that. And I owe the answers and the clarity that sets in my mind after months and months of contemplation to someone of my own blood. I am grateful, more clear than before, and somehow more assured that the path I have taken has made a difference in who I am and who I am becoming and who I will be more and more every day. I have no choice but accept the fact because anything less than that will require the deconstruction of my very own nerves and veins I constructed through deconstruction. Sometimes, you gotta cut it all off man...sometimes, you just gotta cut it all off.

"There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside of them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself."

Welcome to my world...where are all the meanings when you need them?

"To be born again," sang Gibreel Farishta tumbling from the heavens, "first you have to die." - Salman Rushdie, The Satanic Verses (1988)

I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of 1974. - Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex (2002)

What if this young woman, who writes such bad poems, in competition with her husband, whose poems are equally bad, should stretch her remarkably long and well-made legs out before you, so that her skirt slips up to the tops of her stockings? - Gilbert Sorrentino, Imaginative Qualities of Actual Things (1971)

What does meaning mean?

2011-07-28T18:51:00.000-07:00

Something has come over me. I can't find meanings anymore. No meaning to many things I had given many meanings to. They slip through the shifting sand of my thoughts and lose their meanings the minute they find one. What is a girl to do?
