'The moon spread over everything a thin layer of silver - over the rank grass, over the mud, upon the wall of matted vegetation.'
Joseph Conrad

I don't remember where I found this

"Here one's life and experiences are so intense; one does not belong, one is part of the landscape: The unhurried is easily accepted. In Europe i couldn't wait to see you again. I was so impatient and edgy. But in Nepal as each day passed I became more relaxed. I just kept going and going, looking at everything and drinking it all in. I have talked with the people and drunk tea in their houses. In tengpoche we stayed an extra day simply because it was so beautiful. It was suddenly not so important whether i met you today or tomorrow, and so perhaps my joy in finding you is more than those heady days in Europe."
Uschi Messner

I think that's right. I found it scrawled on a bit of paper on my floor. I am back from my travels now and I'm ready to rejoin the world. That is, i am ready to fill my own space again.

Spoons

"My interest in the scientific method has something to do with wanting to quanify things and yet realising that it is an impossible goal. So actually just dancing around quantifying something is to keep it alive. It’s almost as soon as you capture something – whatever it is, this moment – you kill it.” Spencer Finch

I made a silly performance piece the other day with spoons over my ears. It felt good.
