To see…
“To see the world beyond the skies,
to know the mind behind the eyes…”
– Neil Gaiman
Autumn Day
Lord? It is time. Giant summer’s at an end.
Lay down your shadows on the sundials;
Across the fields unleash a cooler wind.
Tell the last of the fruit to fill and ripen.
Send them two more warm, southerly days,
Push them toward completion then, and chase
Last sweetnesses into the thickened wine.
—Rilke, Paris, 21 September 1902

Tried…
“I tried to discover, in the rumor of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony.”
Gustave Flaubert, November, 1842

Who is your white whale?
“Who is your white whale?” I sometimes ask my students.
Who is the person or entity you dream about working with?
Who you are chasing on all social media in order to see if you can sparkle some words in a deft cover letter to make yourself irresistible to them?
My white whale has been Medium.com. I am in and it is tremendously and utterly fascinating. I am still chasing dreams that will be carved in the bark of the Medium scrolls.
You can be our next white whale.

A book
“A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”
– Madeleine L’Engle
Daniel F. Gerhartz
Following Nature
“I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.”
– Claude Monet
The self
“The self, the place where we live, is a place of illusion. Goodness is connected with the attempt to see the unself… to pierce the veil of selfish consciousness and join the world as it really is.”
– Irish Murdoch
William Stott – Autumn
Paradoxes
“I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.”
– Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913)
