...because there are as yet no words to enable us to get there. Myth is nourished by silence as well as by words."
~ Italio Calvino
I've just spent 20 minutes searching for the right quote to fit my mood - kind of melancholy, a little dehydrated, ultimately not bad but not completely talkative. I don't know why I think writing from a place where I'm feeling quiet is a good idea. Partially it's because I've left my livejournal alone for a little too long. It's also procrastination, in a week I shouldn't procrastinate with, since I have a draft of my thesis due next week and much translation to attempt. But this is part of the process of life, part of the way that I work. I don't even really know how much anyone reads anymore, considering I tend to blather on too long and use too many commas.
( but that's ok, since sometimes i find my journal is just for me )
