The language of birds






















What is imagination but a reflection of our yearning to belong to eternity as well as to time?

Eternity and it is Just as Flat and Wide

















I see the world is flat and the map flat
that records it, and both page and world
speak each other forever. Put a fold
in eternity and it is just as flat and wide.
Take the map of the world and fold it
into a boat and the boat becomes the world.
