Eleven -- The Year of Change



...For although in a certain sense and for light-minded persons non-existent things can be more easily and irresponsibly represented in words than existing things, for the serious historian it is just the reverse. Nothing is harder, yet nothing is more necessary, than to speak of certain things whose existence is neither demonstrable nor probable. The very fact that there are serious and conscientious who treat such as existing things brings them a step closer to existence and to the possibility of being born.

Albertus Secundus
tract. de cristall. spirit.
ed. Clangor et Collof. lib. I, cap. 28.

(Holograph translation by Joseph Knecht)




Ask not what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive...then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Howard Thurman




I remember, therefore I was.
