Too lazy to think on my own tonight I'll just let others do it for me -- okay!

And the song said "Let's be happy"/ I was happy
It never made me happy before/ And the song said "Don't be lonely"/ It makes me lonely/ I hear it and I'm lonely more and more
--Yo La Tengo, "Last Days of Disco"

"Wonder requires us to acknowledge what we do not know or may never know, to acknowledge the limits of knowledge. It is, then, a different species of knowledge, a way of knowing that does not lead to certainties or truths about the world or the way things are. It is a state of mind that, like being in love, colors all that we know we know."
--Peter de Bolla, from the book "Art Matters."

This is how I sum up for myself what I wish to convey to those who work here with me:
I am dead because I lack desire,
I lack desire because i think I possess.
I think I possess because I do not try to give.
In trying to give, you see that you have nothing;
Seeing that you have nothing, you try to give of yourself;
Trying to give of yourself, you see that you are nothing:
Seeing that you are nothing, you desire to become;
In desiring to become, you begin to live.
--Rene Daumal, from his last letter to his wife (he was dying of TB when he wrote that)
