      Excellent article. Had not situated Lakoff. Understand better now my own desire for progressive lenses.
  • All means of capture: camera, phone, pen, paper, I had left at home.

      Binary framing. Power framing. Main framing.
  • There he was again, questioning, "What are we doing?"  "Is this where will stay?"  "Will we stay here for ever?"

  •  A few yards on, the clouds were becoming rather menacing.   I felt a few spots of rain.   There were gusts of winds rustling the surviving leaves on the trees.

      There are poems and stuff in this stream.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      The poetry is both within and without the post,  twining, divining, opining. Catastrophe is a dish best tasted together.  
  • ingenuity

      ingenuity (ɪndʒɪˈnjuːɪtɪ)  [ad. L. ingenuitās the condition of a free-born man, noble-mindedness, frankness, f. ingenu-us ingenuous: cf. F. ingénuité (16th c. in Hatz.-Darm.), It. ingenuità (Florio, 1598), possibly the immediate source. The employment of the word as the abstract n. from ingenious (for ingeniosity or *ingeniety) appears to be confined to Eng. and is connected with the confusion of the two adjs. in the 17th c.: see ingenious II and ingenuous 6.]  I.I Senses connected with ingenuous.  †1.I.1 The condition of being free-born; honourable extraction or station. Obs.     1598 Florio, Ingenuita, freedome or free state, ingenuitie, a liberall, free, or honest nature and condition.    1614 Selden Titles Hon. Pref. C ij, Ingenuitie, not Nobilitie, was designed by the three Names.    1614 Raleigh Hist. World v. iii. §16. 705 Such other tokens of ingenuity for his wife and children as every one did use.    1638 F. Junius Paint. of Ancients 254 The noble Art‥being forced to seek her bread without any ingenuitie, after the manner of other sordide, mechanike, and mercenarie Arts.    1658 Phillips s.v., Ingenuity is taken for a free condition or state of life. †b.I.1.b The quality that befits a free-born person; high or liberal quality (of education); hence, Liberal education, intellectual culture (cf. II). Obs.     a 1661 Fuller Worthies (1840) II. 214 He intended it for a seminary of religion and ingenuity.    1662 Stillingfl. Orig. Sacr. ii. ii. §1 He [Moses] was brought up in the Court of Ægypt, and‥was skilled in all the learning of the Ægyptians; and these‥ prove the ingenuity of his education. †2.I.2 Nobility of character or disposition; honourableness, highmindedness, generosity. Obs.     1598 [see sense 1].    1603 Florio Montaigne ii. viii. (1632) 215, I should have loved to have stored their mind with ingenuity and liberty.    a 1638 Mede Wks. (1672) i. xxxii. 1

touches of sense...: Goodbye Kafka. - 0 views

  • I drove my girls to school this morning.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Inside to outside.  Views in a frame. Gregor Samsa waking up forever trapped in the box that Kafka made.

  • together gazing up at its beauty
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Not gazing at its beauty, but at it. Not living through it. Living it.
  • We laughed, I don't remember why
    • Terry Elliott
       
      We laughed in remembrance of the unremembered.
  • mountains are considered sacred places
  • words, numbers, pictures can be considered as a trap
  • talk of technology, I would say that language is a technology
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Talk of tech. Talk is tech. We recede from eternity as if stung.  Words = bees, swarming off the Hive. Not the hive. Servants to the hive.
  • The word is not the thing. Alfred Korsybski
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Korzybski said the word is not the thing, but his words were not the thing.

    • Terry Elliott
       
      so happy to escape the spreedsheet of world framed with words.

      Windshield and window and text box and monitor and post-it and page herding us  from the commons into the margins. Gate clangs shut.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      from the commons to the margins past the threshhold and door locked tight. Against our going. Against your coming.
  • all this cell formating lark which made me feel claustrophobic
  • Last night I played around with zeega.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      And we ask because we are driven to escape the bonecage of words:  can we find another way out? 
  • I found the result, paranoia inducing, dark
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Are we worms, are we moles, are we roots rhizomatic and tunneling to escape these locked and formatted cells, paranoids in the dark, driven to Perdition by firebrand angels?
  • had enough black and white
    • Terry Elliott
       
      No.  Remember that roots break through the dark with whip and branch and leaf.  
  • enough of cells, of breaking things down to their bones. 
  • had enough of cells, of breaking things down to their bones.

      No. We can pile up the borders and frames in the middle and set it all aflame.
  • I am fed up with keyboards, glass screens
    • Terry Elliott
       
      No more input. No more output. Time to put those those to words away.
  • texture, grass, wind, sunshine, laughter
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Words are changeling kafkas. Pile them in a pyre. Burn them with flint&steel&laugther real.
  • Goodbye Kafka.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Goodbye Ungeziefer. Goodbye Gregor Samsa. God be with you Kafka.
