Notes"Of course, there is a mythology of the open road, empty and stretching out to the distant horizon, which fits perfectly with modernity’s aspirations, the road as a symbol of unconstrained freedom so common in the genre of the road movie. However, this myth exists now only in the dusty memories of the past, in Hollywood or more commonly in the flashy dishonesty of the car advertisement. It says nothing of a landscape dissected by tarmac, of asthmatic children, of the flattened and bloody corpses of badgers and birds strewn in rubbish-filled gutters, of smog, gridlock, and road rage."Mick Smith, “Against the Enclosure of the Ethical Commons: Radical Environmentalism as an ‘Ethics of Place’” from Environmental Ethics Vol. 19 Issue 4

Quote
"You probably feel that when religious faith expresses itself thus, in the language of the gaming-table, it is put to its last trumps. Surely Pascal’s own personal belief in masses and holy water had far other springs; and this celebrated page of his is but an argument for others, a last desperate snatch at a weapon against the hardness of the unbelieving heart. We feel that a faith in masses and holy water adopted willfully after such a mechanical calculation would lack the inner soul of faith’s reality; and if we were ourselves in the place of the Deity, we should probably take particular pleasure in cutting off believers of this pattern from their infinite reward."
William James on Pascal’s Wager, from “Will to Believe”

Notes‘we stood steady as the stars in the woods
so happy-hearted
and the warmth rang true inside these bones
as the old pine fell
we sang just to bless the morning’
this song is my new favorite thing in the world. -
