I would now like to outline a few general remarks about how to avoid becoming too comfortable in the abyss.

Barbara Johnson, “Nothing Fails like Success” (via adornoble)

Ontology is the dice throw, the chaosmos from which the cosmos emerges. If the imperatives of Being have a relation with the I, it is with the fractured I in which, every time, they displace and reconstitute the fracture according to the order of time…Far from referring back to the Cogito as a proposition of consciousness, imperatives are addressed to the fractured I as though to the unconscious of thought…far from being the properties or attributes of a thinking substance, the Ideas which derive from imperatives enter and leave only by the fracture in the I, which means that another always thinks in me, another who must also be thought. Theft is primary in thought.

Deleuze, Difference and Repetition

This is basically Derrida.

Even now, I tell myself, there is a language to which I might speak and which would rightly hear me; responding with eloquence; in its turn, negotiating sense without insult given or injury taken. Familiar to those who already know it elsewhere as justice, it is met also in the form of silence.

Also discovered I've lost 2 inches from my waist over Christmas!

Thankfully Simon's phone is now working, so we can all relax!

Got a new phone for Simon as a treat. So far it doesn't work. He's spending hours on the phone getting "technical support" to no avail. Wish we hadn't bothered.

According to the Christian proclamation, God as man lived quietly in the world for more than thirty years before he called his first disciple, drawing no attention to himself or to his presence with us. His voice was not heard in the street. We must assume that sunlight was no lovelier those thirty years, or time less inexorable. The Romans, who made synonyms of order and desolation, tramped the roads of his holy Judea. If we take it to be true that he walked in the cool of mornings and the breeze of evenings among Adam’s children, who were at no special pains to hide their transgressions from him or to put a gloss of piety on the good they did, and that he saw them sometimes comfort the lame and welcome the outcast, as people will do, then surely he rejoiced in them, and in the unutterable good he intended for them. Still, every day was like any other day through those thirty years, miraculous and God-haunted as the world was in the beginning, is now, and always will be.
