“The most improper job of any man… is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.”
– Tolkien
There… and back again.
O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall
Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap
May who ne’er hung there.
I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
And I have asked to be
Where no storms come.
What did you love about me if not, also, my wounds?
This blog was named after Nietzsche’s poem… That’s my state of mind again.
Towards New Seas
“That way is my will, I trust
In my mind and in my grip.
Without plan, into the vast
Open sea I head my ship.
All is shining, new and newer
Upon space and time sleeps noon
Only your eye – monstrously,
Stares at me, Infinity.”
Nietzsche, Gay Science, 371
Hold me close

A hundred thousand suns burning bright inside of me.
