I just want to get something up to represent myself here,if anyone out there is interested. I'm a bit too busy in RL these days to be a prolific journaler, but I really think it's a bit creepy to post without having some place that folks can look me up, and get some idea of what I'm about. I'm thothmes on lj too.

Experience has now taught me that some folks want to know something about me, and don't necessarily check out my Profile page, where I tell you something about me and my interests. For now I have this journal largely because I occasionally see a discussion that I want to post to and put my two cents in, and to do so anonymously seems distasteful to me. I do write, but you won't see too much posted here. I have a couple of Five Things-es up on The Pentangular Gate on livejournal, and perhaps I may post more often here. Once my dearly beloved six year old Whirlwind of Distruction grows out of her Tazmanian Devil stage, I might have some time to devote to such things, but as it stands now, I'm barely treading water. I've just got a bare minimum here now so that hopefully folks can get a minimalist feeling for who I am and what I'm about.

Thanks, hello, and welcome.

A Few Words From The Wise

Speak to him, for there is none born wise.
-The Maxims of Ptahotep

In mourning or rejoicing, be not far from me.
- an Ancient Egyptian Love Song

But your embraces
alone give life to my heart
may Amun give me what I have found
for all eternity.
-Love Songs of the New Kingdom, Song #2

To Know the Dark

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is travelled by dark feet and dark wings.
-Wendell Berry

Up in the morning's no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a' the hills are covered wi' snaw,
I'm sure it's winter fairly.
-Robert Burns

Visit to the Hermit Ts'ui

Moss covered paths between scarlet peonies,
Pale jade mountains fill your rustic windows.
I envy you, drunk with flowers,
Butterflies swirling in your dreams.
-Ch'ien Ch'i

Mistress of high achievement, O lady Truth,
do not let my understanding stumble
across some jagged falsehood.
-Pindar

Every Gaudy colour
Is a bit of truth.
-Nathalia Crane

I counted two-and-twenty stenches,
All well defined, and several stinks.
-Samuel Coleridge
