"Science is a very human form of knowledge. We are always at the brink of the known;"- Jacob Bronowski, The Ascent of Man
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.- T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding
I wanted to start a blog about something cool like travel, or science, or prostitution (example, because I know you're wondering). But, the problem of not having sufficiently titillating experiences myself aside, it occurred to me that perhaps all these things are really different forms of conversations -- dialogues with places, people, bodies, ideas... and the fabric of life as we know it.
I have lots of conversations.
This blog will be a commitment to having more, as well as an attempt to remember the ones I've had. Not anything exhaustive or complete by any means -- simply an occasional snapshot of the bits that stick. Like the dirt that gathers on the soles of our feet as we walk, and in so doing, change the way we feel the earth beneath us.
