Clee Fanger was the most renowned intergalactic reporter in the InterInfinitys. A rabid and unabashable antitheist, she reported with a pietydar of unrhomboided keenness.

Her perspicacity was sweatless, elegant, earnest, and ineluctable. She had a tantalizing gossip column with frequent breaking tids on string theory and dark matter, the 90% of stuff that has got to be there but about which they know the Big Nada.   more »
View Article  The Lapidary View
My dear Colin Wilson, a brilliant surveyor of human possibility, often speaks of the exhilarating ‘hawk’s eye view’ which liberates us to our purposeful strengths. For myself, I have settled upon the Lapidary View. I like to treat everything as if it were a jewel. Or rather more shockedly, sudden, surprised – everything as geode.

The first time I saw a geode, I fainted. The idea that in that apparently dreary rock gleamed this staggering dazzle of crystals like a cave a wizard must live in goaded my heart and brain to permanent agog. I knew at once that the geode was one of these ravishing runes the multiverse loves to spring on you. “Dja get it? Did you get it?” Well, it’d be tough to miss the delectable pagan message of the burning geode. “Everything is jeweled inside, dumbbell, if you crack it open and notice.”    more »

Please, as you would ask your spouse, How was your day? -- in the morning, set your alarm 1/2 an hour early for a mutual muse and ask her/him How were your dreams last night?

Writers are used to being in the hand of Fate. When you get your own voice for sure at last, its like being knighted. You never need doubt the holy voice again. Soon tho, you realize that you are really an amanuensis for Something Which Speaks. The Ego does not write. It receives, like a pagan communion, the elixir. You are alive in the runes, the 3D of your sentences as they unfurl, the sentiments into images, around you. It is the alchemy. .. ..

In my experience, K1 science is dog-like ? predictable, obedient. You can put a leash on it. Photonic matter or e=mc∞ or photonic mattergy is like a cat ? it purrs, it likes to be stroked, but obedient? Repeatable? ?HaHa! Nada, nunca. Never. There are patterns and fields one can discern and mention ? but the sensitivity and malleability and shapeshiftiness of the photonic mattergy, the holopaint,? makes and creates so sleekly and rapidly and rampantly that you can?t bottle it. ... You can, however, teach people to keep some of their wits about them while exploring and studying it. First, we?d have, in the West, to learn to honor play as much as work.
