Rebellious Qi.

There are some who maintain that the present war is a war in defence of democracy. I do not know whether this view is adopted by the Tsar, and for the sake of the stability of the Alliance I sincerely hope that it is not. I do not, however, desire to dispute the proposition that democracy in the western nations would suffer from the victory of Germany. What I do wish to dispute is the belief not infrequently entertained in England that if the Allies are victorious democracy can be forced upon... read more

This sums up what drives me these days...

The uniqueness of human beings is in being, simultaneously, subjects and objects. Humans are self-sensing and self-moving objects while, at the same time, they are observable and manipulable objects. To yourself, you are a soma. To others you are a body. Only you can perceive yourself as a soma- no one else can do so. But everyone else can see you as a body. Even you can see yourself as a body looking into the mirror.

A New Declaration of Independence, by Emma Goldman, 1909

When, in the course of human development, existing institutions prove inadequate to the needs of man, when they serve merely to enslave, rob, and oppress mankind, the people have the eternal right to rebel against, and overthrow, these institutions.

I am part of the load
Not rightly balanced
I drop off in the grass,
like the old Cave-sleepers, to browse
wherever I fall.

For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains
floating and flying in the will of the air,
often forgetting ever being
in that state, but in sleep
I migrate back. I spring loose
from the four-branched, time -and-space cross,
this waiting room.

I walk into a huge pasture
I nurse the milk of millennia

Everyone does this in different ways.
