Found from last summer:

Location has become more than one, us both moving from the city that sheltered us, brought forth our eagerness for touch.

"I have two things inside of me. One is my great love for films, my great admiration for films. The other is a desire to destroy that admiration." --Nikos Panayotopoulos, 1974

A citizen fettered to two chains, one attached to earth, the other to heaven. All the possibilities are his, and he feels it; more, he actually refuses to account for the deadlock by an error in the original fettering." --F. Kafka

Dialectics embodies these days.

So I haven't been writing for a while, even though I've been reading. But I've been reading practical books on how to make purses and move to France, so there haven't been much of note. Besides, I think I've had writer's block for...oh, 23 years.

Joyce Carol Oates: "Writer's block is the temporary paralysis caused by the conviction, on an unconscious level, that what the writer is attempting is in some way fraudulent, or mistaken, or self-destructive."

So maybe that's it. Who knows?
