More From Thomas Malthus

If you took the entire internet and laid it end to end, it would weigh more than the other thing. it would weigh more than it would if it wasn't laid end to end. like, if it was a ball of rolled up internet it would weigh less. i'm pretty sure. it depends on the size of the scale, i think.
Thinking Balls Size
Dad once said to me that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be ok - that we were all going to be ok - the message would come to me in the form of a white feather. then something happened to me about ten years ago when i was on tour in australia. i was presented with a white feather by an aboriginal tribal elder, which definitely took my breath away. one thing for sure is that the white feather has always represented peace to me.

The surest way to know our gold, is to look upon it and examine it in god's furnace, where he tries it that we may see what it is. if we have a mind to know whether a building stands strong or not, we must look upon it when the wind blows. if we would know whether a staff be strong, or a rotten, broken reed, we must observe it when it is leaned on and weight is borne upon it. if we would weigh ourselves justly we must weigh ourselves in god's scales that he makes use of to weigh us.

Opposites Long Trying
I’m convinced that fear is at the root of most bad writing. dumbo got airborne with the help of a magic feather; you may feel the urge to grasp a passive verb or one of those nasty adverbs for the same reason. just remember before you do that dumbo didn’t need the feather; the magic was in him.

Wise Wisdom Writing
The advice i continually give to young writers is this, "learn to paint pictures with words." not just once upon a time, but ... in the long secret dust of ages, beneath a blue forgotten sky, where trade winds caress the sun bleached shores of unknown realms ... see, as much as there are words in poetry, there is a poetry in words. use it, stay faithful to the path you have set your heart upon and follow it.

I do have people in mind when i write. i don't know precisely who they are, however, or how many of them there are.
