My winter treks roll out like carpets sauntered o'er neatly packed frozen leaves white crusts, familiar hexangonal flakes that coat the threads and footsteps I tread... my ideal to find a book of books and carry my thoughts through winter storms allow my conscience to absorb fresh fodder? but with tainted contents..sometimes I wonder why bother? Why is there the urgency to trace existing paths? shaped with construction overshoes and frequent neoclassically columed archives where worker bees attend the queen of her hive and books of great minds are long overdue pause in front of a neoclassical facades ornate interiors laden with chosen books and ask myself what good history is when it is washed free of implications knowledge inhaled as truth and misconstrued has me sad... My winter treks find comfort in the snow that blow over previous deposited sediments... white flakes and the mystery of endless shapes carry my thoughts away from literary purposes behold I am back to the land of the trapper the law of the fang...tales of bitter chills away from institutional books to unchartered ideals?

Very well put and thought provoking. I used to dream of being a politician and giving speeches to save the world. Now, I too am comfortable with different thoughts. Thank you. etoodog |

I love this post, ecrivan. A beyond-Walden Pond quest. Outstanding! Another excellent write to ponder. Into my library this goes. ****************************************** and books of great minds are long overdue pause in front of a neoclassical facades ornate interiors laden with chosen books and ask myself what good history is when it is washed free of implications knowledge inhaled as truth and misconstrued has me sad ****************************************** |
