“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” – John Stuart Mill
ㅁ The light was saved for half a year the sun, it goes along, it seems: we play with clocks, quite cavalier. The light was saved for half a year with so much light, things will be clear: no more of those annoying dreams. The light was saved for half a year the sun, it goes along, it seems.

ㅁ sometimes I wake up and think that I've missed something... hours lost to deep sleep

ㅁ nights surpass the dull days... elegiac, oneiric transits across stochastic space, full of windings, ergodic retrogressions into instants that fade like aimless bursts of color

“The great trouble with religion – any religion – is that a religionist, having accepted certain propositions by faith, cannot thereafter judge those propositions by evidence.
One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason – but one cannot have both.” – Robert A. Heinlein

ㅁ Regardless, texts will justify beliefs we hold ex ante, so... let's make a text, the words will fly! Regardless, texts will justify and warp our minds, we can't defy... our own unreasoned meanings flow. Regardless, texts will justify beliefs we hold ex ante, so!

An autumnal ritual, we got the boat out of the water.
I work on cleaning it a bit, tomorrow, but the bottom is remarkably free of nefarious barnacles – probably a consequence of how late we put it in the water this year. I’m grateful for the neighbors’ help on pulling it out this morning – Arthur’s situational awareness is so minimal, these days, that he was in fact seemingly unaware of what we were doing. Some of that is his deafness, but he also just really tuned out of reality most of the time.
Despite his unawareness during the proceedings, Arthur nevertheless managed to find the gumption to go down after we’d “parked” the boat to inspect our work, and offer a few pointless criticisms. This is why it can be so draining caring for and interacting with him – the few times he exits his solipsistic bubble, it’s as often to criticize or complain as it is anything else.

ㅁ Fall is the season when mice sneak in. The temperatures drop, outside. Everything gets rained on. Summer's berries are gone. The warm house beckons. What's not to like? Some crumbs left. It seems... Safe?

“Desire is, by nature, childlike and chary of government. The day we begin to qualify it by the righteousness of its political content is the day we begin to prescribe some desires and prohibit others. That way lies moralism only.” – Andrea Long Chu
ㅁ the Fall's first frost came, painted the dock and pier white; some ducks swam away.

“It is comforting when one has a sorrow to lie in the warmth of one’s bed and there, abandoning all effort and all resistance, to bury even one’s head under the cover, giving one’s self up to it completely, moaning like branches in the autumn wind…” – Marcel Proust
ㅁ The seagull sat, observing things. The tide, the rocks, a swimming fish. A duck that ducked, some rippling rings. The seagull sat, observing things. I wonder if the bird might wish that Fall was slower with its wings. The seagull sat, observing things. The tide, the rocks, a swimming fish.

ㅁ Kiamon stood by the side of the road... feelings were grim, and the gray skies had snowed. Nobody stopped to assist her. The cars kept zooming past with their tail-lights like stars.
