Maria Popova has been blogging a long long time. Her site is called The Marginalian and it’s quite the treasure trove of ideas and connections. In her post on the work of Richard Jeffries she writes:
This is the great paradox: that human life, lived between the time of starlings and the time of stars, is made meaningful entirely inside the self, but the self is a mirage of the mind, a figment of cohesion that makes the chaos and transience bearable.
I know I’ve mostly been posting quotes here for a while and for that I apologise. There will be more reflective writing soon enough but I also want to keep sharing things publicly that seem to resonate with many of the themes of the research. This site can then be a kind of container for the ideas and work.
