But so it shall be; you shall play witness to the journey of words not yet typed, of sentences not yet weaved, and of substance not yet spoken, to the visible realm. They are in <i>martial array</i> at the departure lounge of pre-existence, waiting to give rise the leaven of mortal life. They are exhilirated at the prospect of their descent. Let's not have them wait. Right now, somewhere, integers dive into a free-fall of equal ecstacy, from that same place, to the mind of a mathematician. I'll give you her number, you should hook up.

Namaste, Saleem!

My educational choices have always been what seemed most interesting and exciting in the moment; and also most possible; never was there a strategy to end up best suited to be a writer. Believe me, I'm not so brave that I'd forego the regularity and certainty of being a lawyer, instead. But there were some lines in Twelfth Night about this; and yet, lest I get too wrapped in the veil of self, in heedlessness and vain and idle imaginings, I shall return to work.

Slightly sad and lost. Also a nice answer to my not-yet-existent post about how walking in New York for the first time feels like you're coming back to it. (And much better put than I could ever have done it... Leave it to the lyrical masturbators.) Mandel Cola, I have yet to meet you, but love you already: that comment was numerical balsam.
