<> Anemone

But in an instant between galaxies / Flowering like anemones in quiet water / We have journeyed within and within

<> A Year From A Life

Sometimes it is scary to ask "what were you doing ten years
ago?"
At least I'm over the regrets, mostly. Maybe that is progress..

<> World's End

..When's lift off ? Nine o'clock. / This will be gone forever, / Her face at the door, stripped /
With loss, or early waking, / I don't know; only that by the lintel / A begonia is flowering
.

<> Copping It Sweet

... Not such a bad life, he tells himself very quietly, lowering expectations once again just in case the gremlins get to hear about any hint of good fortune...

Thor's Aphorisms 
1988 to now..
§ direct link to Aphorisms §

Doubt well, do what you can, then let it be. Presidents, priests, wage slaves, hustlers, men and women, kids, we all live by the grace of those we love to despise...

..and what this website stands for

I don't care what you believe in, so long as you don't believe in it too strongly. A belief is a weapon in the armoury of your heart, and its razor edge will murder the innocent. The ice, the fire of your passion will seduce mundane men and women. Your clarity will excite respect. And the first demagogue who comes along with a key to your heart's armoury will wrest the weapon from your moral grasp. The first cause which wears the colours of your belief will enlist you as a soldier in ravaging crusades. Peace friend. Keep your passion to doubt with. Our civilization is a simple matter of live and let live, of giving dreams a go, but stepping back with a wry smile when we get it wrong. Let the fundamentalists perish in their own pillars of fire. Spare a dollar for the living, and have a nice day. 

 -  Thor
