"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms



"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

Geography and Ontology….

It is somehow time to be in Two Harbors, MN and yet it is time not be here.

This juxtaposition of reality has and continues to be occurring - as a result I have an inexorable pull to go to go on a journey.

When in Two Harbors it is as if I am in some sort of inextricable bubble of time and space so that simultaneously Two Harbors is my residence but not my home. And so, the vertigo and bewilderment cascade about me and the recurring notion intensifies that the answers to the questions that forever swirl within me are to be known and experienced while in a different place, a new geographic space.

Geography seems to be more important than epistemology. The epistemological quandaries are to be resolved by geography.

Not sure exactly what exactly that means. But I will know when it happens -of that I am convinced.

Indeed, something has to shift, be traversed, and be scaled so that then, the cool fresh breezes will blow over my defeated soul. Geography will create ontology. And then, then, there will be release.
