Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


open space

  • if you look

    Information
          is always there

           not always
    obvious or apparent

    but available
    if you look

        closely

    between the lines

    you might see
                    something

    important or otherwise

     Information is like that

  • it goes without saying

    Often, occasionally, sporadically,
    even spontaneously,
    I make mistakes.
    They happen naturally:
    a missed word or apostrophe,
    my mind gets moving and
    I fail to see the errs of my ways,
    or errors throughout the day.
    It is, or was, or has been
    when I write or what I say.
    Incidentally or accidentally,
    it goes without saying,
    but the fact remains
    I make mistakes.
    Every day.
    We learn from our mishaps, or
    should anyway, we try to
    improve and continue
    to count the ways. What we do
    and how we behave
    counts for a lot.
    My eraser rubbed raw
    by attempts and change,
    I continue to make mistakes.
    Forgive me please when
    my thoughts go amiss, and
    remember I am human amidst
    this confusion or corruption
    we all experience.
    I make mistakes,
    I may fail or fall,
    yet remain myself, flaws and all.

  • do what you want to do

    You might not have what it takes, or you may be overqualified, but it should not take away your desire to try and do what you want to do.
    You may not get the results you intended, or you could be pleasantly surprised at what happens.
    Either way, you will learn more by trying than by regretting that you didn’t make an attempt.
    Go ahead. 
    Give it a try.
    What else will you do with all that time?
