“The space that I can call mine.. is so small that my ideas have become small. I am like a caterpillar in a cocoon of paper; all around me are sketches for sculptures, small drawings that seem like moths fluttering against the windows, beating their wings to escape from this tiny space.. Every day the ideas come more reluctantly, as though they know I will starve them and stunt their growth.”
“The space that we're looking through is nine-dimensional. If you build a mathematical model, the amount of searching that we've done in 50 years is equivalent to scooping one 8-ounce glass out of the Earth's ocean, looking and seeing if you caught a fish. No, no fish in that glass? Well, I don't think you're going to conclude that there are no fish in the ocean. You just haven't searched very well yet. That's where we are.”
“The space under the sky is occupied by all things in their unity.”
“The space was sprawling, marked by a platform king bed in the center, canopied with gossamer curtains. The entire outside wall was glass, looking out into a landscaped garden exploding with flowers, birds, and butterflies. A small stream sang through the garden, rippling over stones. Feyi walked over to the bed and ran her hands over the flax linen sheets, her fingernails golden against the olive green.”

“The Spacefarer
This account is true
In event
And of myself.
Light years of traveling
The darkness
Have left only I,
Writing on dumb screens
Words too loud to voice.
My thoughts strike
The anvil of silence
And no spark is made.
I cower in the silence
That crashes around me.
I am frightened at my own being
Hudded against controls
That guide the ship
Through seeds and stones of fire
That does not warm me.
No one who has not known it
Can imagine the coldness
Of the absence of the sun.
We found no life
That had shadows
Or could speak to us.
I grive for my kind,
For landscapes and horizons,
For the lusty life of animals.
I hold myself in my arms.
I drink my tears
Because I cannot bear
To lose them.
The course is set
But will I stay it?
No being out of its world mould
Can truly know the journey's end.
I sing no more.
I still my hope with my fear,
I still my body
Not to draw the eye of imagine fate.
Will I dare this way again?
My heart misses its wandering beat.
I am bringing the treasured bodies
Of my brothers
Back to their birth planet.
Will the Earth Race
Be at home to us
When I knock?
Julie Holder”
“the spaces between stanzas
the suspenses of pregnant pauses,
the ellipsis at the end of unfinished sentences
thoughts,

breathe.

“the spaces we’ve called love…
it’s heartbreaking
how many of us have felt in love
with people who were not even kind
to us…
how many of us weren’t taught that
love can’t exist in a space without kindness.
or without respect. or in a space that
doesn’t honor us and cherish us.
so many of us are learning that the spaces
we’ve called being in love, weren’t
spaces of love at all”

“The Spaniards are good at many things, but not at making war. All foreigners alike are appalled by their inefficiency, above all their maddening unpunctuality. The one Spanish word that no foreigner can avoid learning is mañana — ‘tomorrow’ (literally, ‘the morning’). Whenever it is conceivably possible, the business of today is put off until mañana. This is so notorious that even the Spaniards themselves make jokes about it. In Spain nothing, from a meal to a battle, ever happens at the appointed time. As a general rule things happen too late, but just occasionally — just so that you shan't even be able to depend on their happening late — they happen too early. A train which is due to leave at eight will normally leave at any time between nine and ten, but perhaps once a week, thanks to some private whim of the engine-driver, it leaves at half past seven. Such things can be a little trying. In theory I rather admire the Spaniards for not sharing our Northern time-neurosis; but unfortunately I share it myself.”

“The Spanish Influenza did not originate in Spain. In fact the first recorded case was in the United States, in Kansas, on March 9th, 1918. Beware the Ides of March. But because Spain was neutral in World War I, it did not sensor reports of the disease to the public. To tell the truth then, is to risk being remembered by its fiction. Countless countries laid blame to one another. What the US called the Spanish Influenza, Spain called the French Flu, or the Naples Soldier. What Germans dubbed the Russian Pest, the Russians called Chinese Flu.”

Haunted by such visions, the ocean chivalry of Spain could not long stand idle.”
