  5. How frozen I became and powerless then,
    Ask it not, Reader, for I write it not,
    Because all language would be insufficient.

    I did not die, and I alive remained not;
    Think for thyself now, hast thou aught of wit,
    What I became, being of both deprived.

  10. The uneasiness of small town narratives in unfamiliar landscapes

    "But there are negative consequences to this construction of the detective as outsider when the outback setting is presented as something unfamiliar, something to be feared. These arise from the origins of Australian Gothic, which scholars have long recognised as an expression of settler-colonial anxiety about the violent dispossession of the country’s Indigenous people."

  11. A quotation from Emerson

    People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them. Life is a series of surprises.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
    Essay (1841), “Circles,” Essays: First Series, No. 10

  12. #ErikDavis: "There is a reason that #esoteric things were esoteric throughout the history of #culture and #religion, and it is that they are not for everybody, at least at the stage most people are, trying to just make a living, trying to keep their families together... because a lot of these esoteric practices and experiences, have a kind of #deconstructing quality, they pull the rug out from under you, they show you a multiplicity world, sometimes god is everywhere, and it is pretty groovy, but it can be, in someways, #unsettling."
