Collecting & Cataloging the Cosmic Clutter

when you are old

BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Neutron Star Guts

The alchemy of kilonovas:

Dead stars collide rippling the cosmic fabric, causing space and time to jiggle. Euphony chirps in the key of C. The birth of gold and silver. Elemental fireworks speed across the universe.

There is no moral imperative in a civilized society to tolerate hatred and intolerance.

Guy Rosenthal

"To put it in more sociological terms: Reasons are social constructs. They are constructed by distorting and simplifying our understanding of mental states and of their causal role and by injecting into it a strong dose of norma­tivity. Invocations and evaluations of reasons are contributions to a negotiated record of individuals' ideas, actions, responsibilities, and commitments."

Apathy in love

Raised by anger, we rise to the easy rush of madness. The cycle gets dirtier every go round. Like we have unlearned any wisp of sustainable speech towards one another, building a bridge to an apocalyptic future rather than somewhere over the rainbow. Addicted to rage, taught to chase an emotion instead of succumbing to logic. The death of empathy.

Libre Albedrío

Despite the disciplined expression of primal power my fiery heart remains untamed.

From a random scrap of lined, yellow paper

Life almost never looks bad from a hammock. Change is good. Changing without checking in is dangerous. Be aware. Always mindful. Be now. Embrace the instance. I'm aching to get away, to be alone in space and my mind.

life scars

Character is worn around the edges. It presents as a chip in your teacup, a dent in the door, tattered bits and broken bones. Life scars us. That’s how being alive works. The beast and the beauty. #thoughtsoncharacter

Love Apple Catsup LOVE APPLE CATSUP Slice the apples [tomatoes] thin, and over every layer sprinkle a little salt; cover them, and let them lie twenty-four hours; then beat them well, and simmer them half an hour in a bell-metal kettle; add mace and allspice. When cold, add two cloves of raw shallots cut small, and half a gill of brandy to each bottle, which must be corked tight, and kept in a cool place. -- James Mease, Archives of Useful Knowledge, Philadelphia, 1812

I've been folding cranes and watching the rain. Drop down. This life is ours for the leaving. Live well.
