The last two lines are, for me, the epitome of poetry.

'The highest art sets down its creations and trusts in their magic, without fear of not being understood.'

-- Hermann Hesse

'Who doesn't relish the wind in the turning page,
the sudden flowers pressed in between like palms in accidental prayer?'

'Even When I Am Not Writing' from my collection WHERE SANDS RUN FINEST, published by DarkWinter Press (DarkWinter Lit Mag and Press) 🖤

“Break two eggs into a bowl / or break a bowl into two eggs. Slip into a coffin / after the fluids have been drained, or better yet, / slide into the fire.”

— Jim Harrison

My god,
I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.

Words have a genealogy and it's easier to trace the evolution of a single word than the evolution of a language.

Daniel Dennett

Some cultural phenomena bear a striking resemblance to the cells of cell biology, actively preserving themselves in their social environments, finding the nutrients they need and fending off the causes of their dissolution.

Daniel Dennett

Darwin's idea of natural selection makes people uncomfortable because it reverses the direction of tradition.

Daniel Dennett

In 50 years - or 20 years, or 200 years - our current epistemic horizon (the Big Bang, roughly) may look as parochial as the horizon Newton had to settle for in his day, but no doubt there will still be good questions whose answers elude us.

Daniel Dennett

I don't think the 9/11 attacks taught us anything we didn't already know about religion. It has long been obvious - even to the deeply religious - that religious fanaticism is an extremely dangerous deranger of otherwise sane and goodhearted people.

Daniel Dennett

We should get used to the idea that we'll probably never be able to find - and confirm - a good explanation of the ultimate origin of the universe, though I see no reason to believe that we can't press much further on this question than we have managed to date.

Daniel Dennett

Human freedom is not an illusion; it is an objective phenomenon, distinct from all other biological conditions and found in only one species - us.

Daniel Dennett
