Saw San Francisco Ballet’s new “Eugene Onegin” and then returned to read Pushkin (James Falen translation)—

While all those cupids, devils, serpents
Upon the stage still romp and roar

In African cosmology, existence was never understood as silent or empty. The world was alive, responsive, and attentive long before human beings learned to listen. Before war entered the hands of people, it first moved through nature…

“Our sense of space results from our ability to move. Our sense of time, meanwhile, is due to being biological individuals undergoing distinct and changing states. Time is thus nothing other than the flow of changes.” p171 #Tokarczuk25

“And what a stroke of luck that such a book had fallen into the hands of such a person in such a place. A phenomenon known to travel psychologists by the name of synchronicity, evidence of the world making sense.” Pg85 #Tokarczuk25

“The true God is an animal He’s in animals, so close that we don’t notice.” (pg67)
I’m cheating with this read-along: read this book years back. But I have so many highlights & underlines, I could resist putting some down here.

Today I received my favourite-ever insult on Blue Sky which I will be embroidering and framing:
'Oldass person who double spaces after periods like they are writing on a typewriter'
I am, indeed, guilty of this vile crime.
