We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself.

And it's a sick feeling, knowing you might bequeath a full dose of Nothing to those who come after you.” KnowsWayEndsFeelingsSeemsMightCommunityKnowingSeaGrewGrew UpEnlightenmentSickTownsWingsAbsenceMy WayAustraliaFishingGapsConservationHookMarineRedneckDoseSpearsHunted Author:Tim Winton
