  • She was wanting to break it off

    One summer morning, the beginning of July, I got this long letter from my girlfriend, and in it she’d written that she wanted to break up with me. I’ve always felt close to you, and I still like you even now, and I’m sure that from here on I’ll continue to…et cetera, et cetera. In short, she was wanting to break it off. She had found herself a new boyfriend.

    I hung my head and smoked six cigarettes, went outside and drank a can of beer, came back in and smoked another cigarette. Then I took three HB pencils I had on my desk and snapped them in half. It wasn’t that I was angry, really. I just didn’t know what to do. In the end, I merely changed clothes and headed off to work. And for a while there, everyone within shouting distance was commenting on my suddenly “outgoing disposition”. What is it about life?

  • Until we leave the gate behind

    And yet the timeless way is not complete, and will not fully generate the quality without a name, until we leave the gate behind.

    Indeed this ageless character has nothing, in the end, to do with languages. The language, and the processes which stem from it, merely release the fundamental order which is native to us. They do not teach us, they only remind us of what we know already, and of what we shall discover time and time again, when we give up our ideas and opinions, and do exactly what emerges from ourselves.

    At this final stage, the patterns are no longer important: the patterns have taught you to be receptive to what is real. It is the gate which leads you to the state of mind, in which you live so close to your own heart that you no longer need a language.

    This is the final lesson of the timeless way.

  • How do you know when your paintings are finished?

    A Quote by Gerhard Richter
    matthiasott.com

    When nothing disturbs me and I have no idea what to do more, what I could add or destroy. This is very surprising, often, when I’m painting, again and again, every day and it feels like it is never-ending […] and it will never become a good painting. And suddenly, it’s finished. Oh! Good. Thanks.

    An Idea by Brad Enslen
    ramblinggit.com

    Today I made an Exit page. So many people end their visit by hitting the Back button on their browser. The exit page is a last attempt to get them to explore the Blog Directory to find an entertaining blog. Or failing that to try a search on a search engine they may have never tried before.

    The Exit Page is an idea best attributed to Brad Enslen and outlined in this short blog post – an "end of the road", so to speak, for your website, possibly leading on to other ways. Similar to the early-internet concept of webrings.

    It is fun and whimsical, but also sad, in a way. I think it suggests a bit of the (Chistopher) Alexandrian idea – nothing beautiful can be made except with the knowledge that it will eventually end.
