• " But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman. "

Albert Camus

• " When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, ‘Let us pray.’ We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land "

Desmond Tutu

• " I’m tired of my life, my clothes, the things I say. I’m hacking away at the surface, as at some kind of gray ice, trying to break through to what is underneath or I am dead. I can feel the surface trembling—it seems ready to give but it never does. I am uninterested in current events. How can I justify this? How can I explain it? "

• Warm weather: Get shade. Living on the third floor of a complex is great for me in the winter, but April is already starting to feel like mid-August. You can shut all the blinds in the apartment to keep out the summer sunshine, but that’s no fun. Instead, open your blinds all the way and install (or simply tack into the wall) a few lightweight, semi-sheer curtains . I picked up a set on sale from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $4. They keep most of the heat out without compromising lighting.

• The endless skyscrapers are swaying with a breeze I can’t feel and the dark swirling gray mass of clouds closes in even as it gets further away. There are a thousand open windows peppering the towers and the people all look the same as they lean towards me, arms outstretched and pale hands gripping the wide tubs of murky water. And the people are dumping blank Polaroid’s out with the dishwater.
• The buildings weren’t skyscrapers, they were industrial buildings instead of offices and they got steadily shorter as you neared the edges of the city. At one spot along the elevated train tracks a building was so close that as trains rushed by the people and machines had to pause and wait out the quaking. Here below the train tracks I sprinted through an alleyway full of rosary beads and caught occasional glimpses of the starry sky.
