Stairway to Knowledge aka The Book of Life?





So many, 

Innumerable perhaps, 
But one only 

Steps one at a time,
And that’s not open 

For discussion.

  3. This makes me smile, the words and the image alike. Together they create a space in which I'd like to pull up a chair and spend long quiet hours.

  4. Lately I've found myself tumbling backward (and downward) through the pages, reading the Book of Life from back to front...

    Which of course makes this the first page.

    I'd love to spend a few hours there myself.

  7. coming to your site/blog
    this late

    'at's a neat picture and
    proem, too.

    whtc-cich I extrapolate so
    far this:

    numerate solitude

    as I am (recently) on my plastic ladder climbed
    towards moving books around

    from shelf to shelf to lower shelved

    book-to-book

    Ovid leans against Plato

  8. Ed ,

    the book-

    shelves a recent
    addition

    to which I confess
    I am still waiting

    for some semblance
    of order

    to manifest itself,
    as in

    Take me to your ladder,
    I can see your leader

    later.



    Tom,

    Perhaps in time to join Jorge for a reading tour that will last forever.
