‘I don’t know. Things don’t have purposes, as if the universe was a machine, where every part has a useful function. What’s the function of a galaxy? I don’t know if our life has a purpose and I don’t see that it matters. What does matter is that we’re a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.” (73)

“At dreaming - at what dreaming is an aspect of. They’ve done it for a long time. for always, I guess. They are of the dream time. I don’t understand it. I can’t say it in words. Everything dreams. The play of forms, of being, is the dreaming of substance. Rocks have their dreams and the earth changes. “ (143)

Caution Horses

"But I've got a horse out in the country

I get to see him every second Sunday

He comes when I call him,

Yeah, he knows his name

One day I'll saddle up

And the two of us will ride away"

from A Horse in the Country

from the song by The Cowboy Junkies

A bit tired of the winter snow this morning.

“I do not care what comes after; 

I have seen the dragons on the wind of morning.”
