The Arrogant Emu

One can, of course, say that both the things are the same - both manifestation of motion or whatnot - but surely that destroys the significance of dancing itself! Dancing is pattern, motion, and joy. It’s freedom within structure within motion within pattern, and when the dance is most truly itself, all those things are one, with each other and with the dancer.

Think of the dance of the spheres, that dance of sight of the sky. It’s driven by the motion of the same and the motion of the other What are the same and the other but the forces of order and chaos, as you described them?

And yet I do not think that it is quite so simple. No, scratch that. I think it is quite that simple - most of the really important things alone are very simple, too simple to be understood clearly. What is mean is, I think that this simplicity is off, by a little bit.
Chaos and order, I think cannot be identified with good and evil, for it is good for good to increase without limit, but chaos and order give meaning to each other. It is that synthesis of chaos and order which is itself the dance, it seems to me. If order were all the dance, there would be no difference between the dance and a cuckoo clock. If chaos were all the dance, there would be no difference between the dance and a mob, or to make myself a bit plainer, there would be no difference between the dancers whirling about the dance floor and teh dancers five minutes later, stampeding out the doors in a panic after someone shouted "fire".

What is a plausible (with certain qualifications to that word, which will be explained) business or money-making endeavor for a person to be running while at college?

No pornography unless you absolutely have to.

One never knows just how many activities require fingernails until one had bitten all the nails on one hand down to the quick. Stupid of me.

There are some themes, some subjects, too large for adult fiction; they can only be dealt with adequately in a children’s book

They were singing this outside Randall hall, the day before spring break. I kid you not.

I dreamed the grass had become sentient and was trying to take over the world.

What a fascinating thing a door, particularly a locked door, is! Think about it.

- "Yow-hee how-hee!"
- "Ooky hi-hi!"

- "Wit-wit."

It’s a good idea to re-read one’s old online conversations and bloglet enries. YOu get reminded of all kinds of ides you didn’t remember you had.
