There was just a continent without much on it   under a sky that never cared less.   Ready for a change, the elbows waited.   The hands gripped hard on the desert. ~ William Stafford At the Bomb Testing Site from The Way It Is: New and Selected Poems + (photo: Ben Linney via  pithandperiphery)

A rock in our path. To hurl ourselves upon this rock as though after a certain intensity of desire had been reached it could not exist any more. Or else to retreat as though we ourselves did not exist. Desire contains something of the absolute and if it fails (once its energy has been used up) the absolute is transferred to the obstacle. This produces the state of mind of the defeated, the oppressed.
Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace (timeimmemorial)

One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away. ~ Stephen Hawking (via journalofanobody) [Image: Ron Garan Chicago from the International Space Station (2011)]

My coffee smelled like an Amtrak train.  It still tasted delicious.  My scarf smelled like someone else.  It definitely looked like mine. Misperceptions can hold a seed of truth. Science doesn’t have all the answers. Our tongue only tastes the edge of reality, nothing more. ~ü
