Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in the grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.
Rumi (1207-1273) tr. Coleman Barks & John Mayne
Exploring the world of ideas through books
Because a community is more than just people
Some of this. And some of that.
“If you don't know ... when the lights will go out ... you might as well read." --- Clive James
