Thinking about jungles, apocalypses, and fate.

"A motorcycle gang of nuns rides out in a mysterious rescue mission..."

"Professor Cohn has explored these subterranean popular revolts which so often sent tremors through the massive structure of medieval society..."

"Rational civilization rests with the professors in their steel and concrete villages; marauding tribes of Barbarians roam the surrounding jungles; mutilated Out People inhabit the burnt scars of cities."

"Why has the concept of fate become so offensive to the modern Western reader? Why does it imply for us a lack of free will, a loss of control, a sense of powerlessness, humiliation and impotence?"

Working hard on the store + other things, learning how to focus and work steadily. I feel like this is further than I ever thought I'd get, but that there's so much more to do than I ever imagined.

"She’s on the horizon…I go two steps, she moves two steps away. I walk ten steps and the horizon runs ten steps ahead. No matter how much I walk, I’ll never reach her. What good is utopia? That’s what: it’s good for walking."
