iad

in a dream of high clouds and a darkened door
through a dimly lit passage
in green hills
a pathway you might follow
if you chose wise
before you awake
you will know
what is right

don´t destroy the machines.

how far

how far does love without compromise go? what if you have to decide? without means without, doesn´t it? but what if so much has changed and you are disappointed? what if trust and respect went down the drain? how to take sides? do I have to take sides? whom should I side with? what happens next? why did it happen? I have no higher understanding.

Before

Before going to the Garden, there were only two options left.
One, becoming an obnoxious wanker and getting selfish beyond comparison, trying only to get what you want.
Two, closing all business with everyone, leaving, becoming a hermit somewhere, one of those people, you always considered to be ghastly and strange, who, in the end will die of a broken heart and almost never be found.


Robert M. Parkner, The Garden-Door

and what is

the fear of an unreflected past.
the joy of biscuits, tea and sun.

Fillory

In Fillory you felt the appropriate emotions when things happened. Happiness was a real, actual, achievable possibility. It came when you called. Or no, it never left you in the first place.




The Magicians, by Lev Grossman

At all, the Sale of war-materials in 2008- the last year where a reliable prognosis could be made-
grew more than eleven percent to 385 billion dollars.
To give these numbers some perspective: the development aid budget of all OECD members of the same year was a 120 billion dollars.
