~ Dr. Steve Jones

Now face North
Think about direction

Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West

illusions
The visible universe was an illusion or,more precisly ,a sophism. Mirrors & fatherhood are abominable because they multiply it & extend it .

I really don't know much at all.

I don't remember, I don't recall,
I have no memory of anything at all

- Peter Gabriel

Memory

Lights the corners of my mind

Misty watercolour memories

Of the way we were.

Light
Light breaks where no sun shines;Where no sea runs , the water of the heart push in their tides .
Dylan Thomas

There is a tide in the affairs of women

Which, taken at the flood, leads -

God knows where.

Byron, Don Juan

Women
If men knew how women pass their time , when they are alone , they'd never marry .

O Henry ( William Sidney Porter )

Alone, alone all all alone,

Alone on a wide, wide sea,

And never a saint took pity on

My soul in agony.

S T Coleridge

Sea

The voice of the sea speaks to the soul . The touch of the sea is sensuous , enfolding the body in its soft , close embrace .

Kate Chopin
