words to live and dream by, things to think about


"Love many; trust few - and always paddle your own canoe."
Billy Two Rivers, Canadian Mohawk Chief
quoted in travels in a thin country, by sara wheeler

david shrigley asks a pertinent question



"unplugged", get it?
[freakin hippies]


if i want to listen to an arsehole,
i'll fart
alice munro tells it like it is,
on a tee-shirt in circle of prayer

My heart, like a compass, goes round and round,
I'm lost in that circle, with foot firmly on the ground.
دل چو پرگار بـه هر سو دورانی می‌کرد
و اندر آن دایره سرگـشـتـه پابرجا بود


ghazal 203, hafiz, c1320-1389 (persia)


this lovely poem, attributed to hafiz,
has been revealed to be a fake
- still a lovely poem "inspired by hafiz"
