(These quotes were among Tom’s handwritten notes.)
“A person becomes a writer because they’re deficient. They have problems. They’re crazy. They have unhappy families. They’re eccentric. And not because they’ve read a lot of books necessarily, but on the contrary — maybe they haven’t read enough books. There’s a strong irrationality about the writing life. Often a writer writes just to maintain their sanity. The way an addict needs to perform a certain ritual of mainlining, a writer kind of has to do it in order to keep his or her head on straight.”
— Paul Theroux
“The whole content of my being shrieks in contradiction against itself.”
— Kierkegaard

Sabino Dam, January 2020 Leave a comment
Sabino Dam, January 2020 — Image by kenne
A crown of gold
over water flowing
from recent snow
melting on Mt. Lemmon.
Down by the creek banks
water a fading red residue
from the leaves of fall now
under the mountain snow.
Now and then
pieces of the crown
slowly begin to fall
leaving a nakedness.
Alone a trail above the dam
visitors walk near the water
drawn by nature’s presence
exchanging moment mysteries.

Twilight On The Mountain Leave a comment
Mountain Cabin — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Night, and I travelling.
An open door by the wayside,
Throwing out a shaft of warm yellow light.
A whiff of peat-smoke;
A gleam of delf on the dresser within;
A woman’s voice crooning, as if to a child.
I pass on into the darkness.
— Joseph Campbell
