”If we understand by ‘eternity’ not an infinite temporal duration, but a lack of temporality, then he who lives within the present lives eternally.” Wittgenstein
Funny I came down
here ahead of tropical
storm Elsa as sto-
ic exercise. Waves
of terns churn the sky. High tides
overflow the rocks.
What’s about to hap-
pen will happen. Mindfulness
is tranquility.
