It isn't the
quantity of metal which matters, but the degree of alloy. Aaron
“transcends”
social media by sitting on the stoop with his dog. I suggest “being”
would work better. He replaces
“transcend” with
“cultivate”; simply “being” being
too dull a thing. Most days,
Louis DuPre drew a horizontal
line on the board to separate
us from what transcends us.
He wore beautiful brown leather shoes. Why can't
a man live on an island and
be, he asked. Being works better, but it does not work. Sits in the
rain and notes its rhythm. Men at Work
was a book about playing. To
be busy is either to make work or to make excuses. To excuse is
sometimes to forgive; that comes not from thought but impulse. Sins
of anger are more forgivable than those of pain, (Marcus
Aurelius).
Recent outbreaks of violence at malls across the country were not
linked in any way, authorities tell us. Effects without cause are
chaos. It's what keeps us in line.
