How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Only Connect

"Fractures well cured make us more strong." - George Herbert

The infinite capacity for self-deception. The longing. The possibility for new beginnings. The burden of responsibility in absolute freedom. Wandering off is the way back. (Jung and "individuation" as pilgrimage to joy?).

The clock of feet. Tick, tock, it beats, as the snow crunches underneath. And so far, survival, and recordings of dull eyes looking back that bespeak a challenge.
