"No permanence is ours; we are a wave that flows to fit whatever form it finds."
Herman Hesse
I am not sure how long to make this.
I have been skimming Keith Hamon's recent post:
"The Viscosity of Rhizo14".
I feel that I should excuse myself.

There are words...
OBJECT(S)
We are stuck on objects.
WORDS.
OBJECTS.
WE ARE STUCK ON OUR OUTLINES.
WE ARE STUCK ON THESE OUTLINES.
THESE WORDS.
THESE OBJECTS.
I was skimming a Mariana Funes' recent post on her DoubleMirror blog.

Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust.
But I can pretend...”
