i have not had internet for a while and there are no convenient cafés offering wi-fi in the woods
i do prefer fall, what little we have of it anymore. i always feel more like myself.
though really i have not much to say at this moment. it is tiresome professing opinions and very trying hearing them.
silence can be a very dear friend.
but i will listen to the wind when she is speaking. that opinion i do not mind for it is truth untainted.
“kaze yo watashi wa tachimukau
yukou kurushimi no umi e to
kizuna kono mune ni kizande
kudakeru nami wa hatenaku tomo . . .
kaze yo watashi wa tachimukau
yokou kagayaki wo mezashite
inori kono mune ni dakishime
samayou yami no you na mirai . . .
kaze yo watashi wa osorenai
ai koso mitsukedashite kiseki yo
kimi wo shinjite’ru yorokobi
arashi wa ai ni kizuku tame ni fuite’ru”
--"Kiseki No Umi" / Maaya Sakamoto, from the anime series Record of Lodoss War
and the water too. i will hear her.
“well the lush separation unfolds you
and the products of wealth
push you along on the bow wave
of the spiritless undying selves.
and you press on god’s waiter your last dime
as he hands you the bill.
and you spin in the slipstream
tideless – unreasoning -
paddle right out of the mess.
and you paddle right out of the mess”
--"Slipstream" / Jethro Tull, from the album Aqualung
