Spinning wheel

Early evenings are most pleasant here, at Vic Uni. Especially with southerlies bringing the wet and cold of Antarctica. The silence of the floors, sporadically broken by a murmuring lift, sometimes the sound of closed door reminds me that I am not all alone here. Fourth floor is high enough to separate me from today's reality. The blue-green harbour city life looms in the distance. My mind is quiet as if with a click of the door handle my world was sucked in by linguistics. I like those evenings when I can give myself some more knowledge. I am slowly putting on layers and layers of language on me.
My state of mind is only recent. Coming back to New Zealand (I think of it as 'mine' and it is such in a sense - I acquired it in my dreams as an idealised life here within a nanosecond of spontaneous decision) means starting anew again and again and again.
The last five months have been a series of cycles, drastically ending and beginning. There is and there was. There is my own space with lots of sun and a big wooden wardrobe. There's no work. There's room to live and there is work. There is work and suddenly there is no space that belongs to me. There is no wooden wardrobe and there is no bed to sleep in. There is romance. There is romance and there is no space. There is suddenly space and there is no romance. There is no work but there is a new space to live. There is a space and there is work. There is work that I have been dreaming of. There is a cat. The cat happens suddenly,all black with a tiny white spot. There is the cat and there is no romance. There is a space to work. There is peace and quiet. For now. What a spinning wheel it is.

Wow, so now you live in NZ? I knew you'd end up there somehow. it's good to know you're alive and kicking. I'm about to finish my BSC and then I'll probably pack my bag and go on the road again. who knows, our paths might cross sometime. meanwhile, know that you are frequently in my thoughts.

Dreams tell us many an unpleasant biological truth about ourselves and http://startso11.info/epuls%2Cok.html only very free minds can thrive on such a diet.. I believe that the conscious wish is a dream inciter only if it succeeds in http://startso11.info/gericom.html arousing a similar unconscious wish which reinforces it.. There is an excellent fellow--once a minister--I will call him http://startso11.info/m%C5%82ode+cieczki.html Isaacs--who deserves well of the world till he dies, and after--because he once, in a real exigency, did the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, as no other man could do it.. Here and there, however, the lower lights flashed out http://startso11.info/tanie++dzwonienie.html into the night.. They shall not find lions, they shall find man himself, http://startso11.info/bikini.html and the record of all his life and of his struggle with reality.. Please stop! The imputation that the road was not http://startso11.info/www.nawspulnej.onet+pl.html wide enough for him to turn was too much for Mr.. Good! said he; it is a http://startso11.info/kongres.html compact! Buller was the first to make the promised country visit.. At length, removing carefully his meerschaum from the right to the left corner of his mouth, he condescended to http://rebestal.info/callela+hotel+haromar.html speak.. Leonard does the honors with so much ease and http://startso11.info/wargi+mniejsze.html tact.. But in Ross there were the makings http://startso11.info/Wyszukaj+kodeks+pracy.html of a man.. To be sure, Gideon had done the rest; Stuhk was as http://startso11.info/esanok.pl.html ready as any one to do credit to Gideon's ability.. No, dear, and you couldn't http://startso11.info/heros3.html have understood him.. The other seemed about to sink, his arms http://startso11.info/strefa+ekonomiczna+w+solcu+kujawskim.html were uselessly waving in the air--that was himself.. All right, said Buller; here's a life-preserver, and you can http://startso11.info/jafra.html put it on.. Presto , the by-laws were amended, and the Western property was given http://startso11.info/centralne+biuro+antykorupcji.html away.. Suppose the patient http://startso11.info/OKE+Krak%C3%B3w.html is suffering from intense morbid dread.. Oh, Thomas, http://rebestal.info/seb+3.html we are sinking! That's so, said Buller; she leaks like a sieve.. Leonard's, and pass http://startso11.info/dalmacja+poludniowa.html the whole evening there.. Your client? Do you mean http://startso11.info/www.pudelek%2Cpl.html you have taken her case? You, the counsel for the Ditch Company? said Mr.. Without despairing, however, http://startso11.info/all+battar.html I undertook the siege of a less implacable heart...
