“We are acquainted with a mere pellicle of the globe on which we live. Most have not delved six feet beneath the surface, nor leaped as many above it. We know not where we are. Beside, we are sound asleep nearly half our time. Yet we esteem ourselves wise, and have an established order on the surface. Truly, we are deep thinkers, we are ambitious spirits!”
—Walden; or, Life in the Woods
Henry David Thoreau (1854)
What have you thought about the world lately?
The Internet has just made everything a lot faster. Too fast, there isn’t time to digest anything. I wanted to write. I wanted to think. This is my journal, blog, whatever you want to call it. Instead of going onto the next thing immediately I want to actually take the time to remember the things I’ve experienced, and come to understand them. Some of these entries may be very long, others as short as a status.cafe update.
Mostly, as much as I liked Status Cafe, I wanted more room to write. My thoughts are too big for my head and they’re DEFINITELY way too big for a teeny-tiny character limit. What about you? Aren’t your thoughts big?
