You shall be my roots

[fuckyeahhouseofleaves]

ice-nine:

You shall be my roots and, I will be your shade, though the sun burns my leaves.

You shall quench my thirst and i will feed you fruit, though time takes my seed.

and when I’m lost and can tell nothing of this earth. you will give me hope.

and my voice you will always hear. and my hand you will always have.

For I will comfort you. And i will shelter you. And even when we are nothing left, not even in death, I will remember you.

“Do you believe in God? I don’t think I ever asked you that one. Well I do now. But my God isn’t your Catholic varietal or your Judaic or Mormon or Baptist or Seventh Day Adventist or whatever/whoever. No burning bush, no angels, no cross. God’s a house. Which is not to say that our house is God’s house or even a house of God. What I mean to say is that our house is God.”

— p. 390

Glass of bourbon. A toke on a blunt. There we go. Bring on the haze. But who am I kidding? I can still see what’s happening. My line of defense has not only failed, it failed long ago. Don’t ask me to define the line either or why exactly it’s needed or even what it stands in defense against. I haven’t the foggiest idea.

So often I wonder whether it is my right to capitalize, as I feel, so often, on the grief of others. But then I justify, in my own particular thoughts, by feeling that I can contribute a little to the understanding of what others are going through; then there is reason for doing it.

This is something I made from the entirety of the final chapter of The Navidson Record. Since this is the last of several attempts, and I actually typed this out from looking at the book, there may be some accidental typos. So, yeah, enjoy.

I made this for my desktop, and thought this blog would appreciate it.This is the word "House" in Gallifreyan.

Is Borges ever mentioned w/in the House?

not that i can recall, and he's not in the index of the book (though that is full of lies).

It's just heavily Borges influenced. Since Zampanò's blind, and stuff.

Navidson's troubles may not have created the house but they did ultimately shape the way he faced it.

How do you even go about reading this book?! It's so topsy turvy, turny, crazy. I feel like I'd be reading one part before the part I was supposed to read. Or backwards, or just completely miss it :/

there's a reason the introduction says this is not for you.
