Rocks were harvested, like crops, to be preserved as fireplaces, walls, foundations and homes. They lined wells, edged gardens and punctuated the landscape.

Looking at you through lenses is perfect. There is a square black hole cosmos in the little vacant space between you and me. The light collects you in dots and dots and dots. After, I can put the moment, the instant, the fraction, the entirety of everything trapped in a a perfect rectangle in my pocket for now, for later, for them, for later. And it has nothing to do with how your feet feel inside of your shoes or how you felt before or after I pressed "click".

It is not a line; it is a web. Actually, it is a series of webs forming a dome or a sphere or lots of spheres. Maybe it is actually a shape I can't even imagine, interlocking and incomplete or misshapen, but connected and interconnected, perhaps disconnected and then reconnected; a form that has been torn down and then built back up on top of its ruins.

observations & ideas for a monday

2009-11-30T14:20:00.000-08:00

The universe is infinite and expanding.

I was born during a last quarter moon in the year of Jupiter.

Travel makes me emotional.
Travel is dangerous.
Travel provokes nostalgia.

We own land when we become part of it in death.

The moon was probably made from the surface of the earth.

Our planet is a spaceship.

I grew up on land that once was covered by a lake.

Atlantis is at the bottom of the sea somewhere.

Some mountains came from under the sea.

There is no single way the world is.

Where does the dirt you buy at the store come from?

The furthest west you can get turns into the east eventually.

There is no up and down, only in and out.

SOFT, INVISIBLE

2009-11-30T12:56:00.000-08:00

I read as if you were reading and it made me sick to my stomach to imagine the memories you might have recalled in your head as you read the same words that I read. I wondered if some of them are the same as mine or if the smelled and tasted differently or sounded differently. I could put a few oceans between me and a million things, but I would afraid it might only make us closer together.
