Current Garden Reading

Jorge Luis Borges

  • "Under the trees of England I meditated on this lost and perhaps mythical labyrinth. I imagined it untouched and perfect on the secret summit of some mountain; I imagined it drowned under rice paddies or beneath the sea; I imagined it infinite, made not only of eight-sided pavilions and of twisting paths but also of rivers, provinces and kingdoms. I thought of a maze of mazes, of a sinuous, ever growing maze which would take in both past and future and would somehow involve the stars."

Congratulations Manuel, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Thanks Robert and Gustavo! Though Robert, maybe I should have you tell me about your views about phrases like "couldn't have happened otherwise" so I know how to think about your post.:-)

Sweet! I'll bring the tequila, you bring the chair.
