Mantras

  • I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
    I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
    I learn by going where I have to go.
    --Theodore Roethke
  • Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
    -- Jean-Paul Sartre
  • I'm Nobody! Who are you?
    Are you—Nobody—Too?
    Then there's a pair of us!
    Don't tell! they'd advertise—you know!

    How dreary—to be—Somebody!
    How public—like a Frog—
    To tell one's name—the livelong June—
    To an admiring Bog!
    --Emily Dickinson

    I think this is a sign of progress

    The Kalamazoo Call for Papers landed in my mailbox yesterday. Out of habit, I opened it, glanced at the page, and found I wasn't even a little curious about what sessions were being offered by whom. So I recycled it instantly.


    (No disrespect to the fine institution that is Kalamazoo, or anyone organizing/presenting there. It just didn't feel like part of my life anymore. And I think that's probably a good thing.)

    Heh. I'm in a place where I'm neither fish nor fowl nor good red herring... I still looked.
