When our challenge persists, returning in different forms, it may be a sign for us to accepted it as a valuable lesson.
It is more difficult to designate this form of conation on its practical side by a satisfactory name.
Books: a beautifully browsable invention that needs no electricity and exists in a readable form no matter what happens.
The questions of philosophy proper are human desires and fears and aspirations - human emotions - taking an intellectual form.
Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.
I guess I'd never formed any hard opinions of '80s fashion, other than that it was pretty outrageous, you know.
The moment of inspiration can come from memory, or language, or the imagination, or experience - anything that makes an impression forcibly enough for language to form.

One thing I've learned to appreciate as I've gotten a little older is direct forms of communication.
