This post by Kate Zambreno caught my eye. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s about this line:
In the Observer profile Marie is quoted as saying, “I wrote to express my worldview/subjectivity because it felt then that no one had any idea.” Isn’t this why people write?
That’s really intriguing. The reason for writing. The rest of the article is a magnificently strong rant, with lots of interesting literary references. hm. I really don’t know many books at all.
magic

it flies up into the darkness with our blood sweat tears hope fears wishes magic trust beliefs disbeliefs imagination fearlessness and wide eyed wonder. no, really, not exaggerating.
having never flown an hot-air balloon, it was exhilirating to discover that you gotta heat up the air first before it floats away. so it ain’t like a switch. oh.
a little ghostly no?
i keep wondering if it’ll reach the planes
all’s well.
[i rather like my blog design right now. but there was this nice theme that i saw that i can't recall the name of..]
climbing
by jh on December 28, 2011
nobody told me it was going to look so dangerous! huge rock cliff beside the sea?? sounds way too Mission Impossible
and then there was alot of climbing
especially by the amazing spiderwoman
and then island goofing while waiting for the rest
Thank you for being concerned, for asking about me, for caring, for wanting to know, for the chocolates.
Kingdom of Heaven
by jh on December 24, 2011
Have you ever watched a Science Fiction movie and wondered, “Why did no one travel into space to look for God? or heaven?” Indeed I often see them search for hospitable planets, aliens, mineral ore (never gold, mind you, not that useless junk), interesting artifacts, out of curiousity. But never ever in order to find God or heaven. This I find quite astonishing.
So people generally, as a simple rule of thumb, refer to heaven as up there, and hell as down there. Heaven amongst the stars, and hell in the fiery core and dark depths. Laughable really. So heaven is like sooooooo big in the universe of stars (and planets and blackholes and meteors and comets and other space-stuff that isnt stars. i mean, really) So hell is like this tiny little small space underneath us. All hell in the universe is concentrated in our tiny puny planet, and underground. And nobody who goes into space ever thinks about being in heaven. Er. Some sort of disjointed reality and logical fallacy here.
How come no one ever cracks jokes about astronauts going to heaven? Is it because they really have such a high chance of dying and no one wants to curse their mission? Is deism too touchy a subject to joke about? Is it too controversial to put into movies? Well there isn’t any economical advantage to adding unnecessary boring issues into an action movie, so no director would do that.
Why does nobody treat aliens like angels from heaven? Perhaps they are. Aren’t angels technically aliens? Since they come from outer space aka heaven and they aren’t native to planet Earth – the definition of alien.
And that’s Christmas in our sunny island
