Well, it's my idea of a quiet night in, anyway. It's the little things that you don't notice most of the time that always jump out at you when you least expect it. There's a hell of a lot of interesting shit in the world that your brain has been trained to ignore, to disregard, to categorise as unimportant. Wake up! The world is full of bubbling chaos! Have a nice quiet night in - you might learn something.
"Every transition from major to minor in a sonata, every transformation of a myth or a religious cult, every classical or artistic formulation was, I realized in that flashing moment, if seen with a truly meditative mind, nothing but a direct route into the interior of the cosmic mystery, where in the alternation between inhaling and exhaling, between heaven and earth, between Yin and Yang, holiness is forever being created." - 'The Glass Bead Game' - Hermann Hesse
