“If the apparent separateness of subatomic particles is illusory, it means that at a deeper level of reality all things in the universe are infinitely interconnected.The electrons in a carbon atom in the human brain are connected to the subatomic particles that comprise every salmon that swims, every heart that beats, and every star that shimmers in the sky.

spiracles:
I don’t know how many souls I have. I’ve changed at every moment. I always feel like a stranger. I’ve never seen or found myself. From being so much, I have only soul. A man who has soul has no calm. A man who sees is just what he sees. A man who feels is not who he is.

Nada fica de nada. Nada somos. Um pouco ao sol e ao ar nos atrasamos Da irrespirável treva que nos pese Da humilde terra imposta, Cadáveres adiados que procriam. Leis feitas, estátuas vistas, odes findas — Tudo tem cova sua. Se nós, carnes A que um íntimo sol dá sangue, temos Poente, por que não elas? Somos contos contando contos, nada.
Nada Fica, Ricardo Reis (Fernando Pessoa)

The Angel
I Dreamt a Dream! what can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen: Guarded by an Angel mild: Witless woe, was ne’er beguil’d! And I wept both night and day And he wip’d my tears away And I wept both day and night And hid from him my hearts delight So he took his wings and fled: Then the morn blush’d rosy red: I dried my tears & armed my fears, With ten thousand shields and spears. Soon my...

I exist, that is all, and I find it nauseating.
