There is no way to forget any moment, except in its sequence. As with the knife, the longer the conversation, the less frequently it comes to a point. Do not discount the stupid bravery of the first to arrive. The butterfly's wings are nothing to the overwhelming force of the common. Knowledge is what happens when you rob suspicion of doubt. -- from Glimpse Glimpse is a book of 409 aphorisms, a form that straddles the line between poetry and philosophy, yet is likely more accessible to the general public than either. Each tiny, crafted piece is, in its entirety, not simply a distilled poem or a pre-poem or a poem explained, but rather a crystallized poetic essence -- an attempt at getting closer to, and preserving, the poetic moment or epiphany by capturing the first thoughts generated during the impulse to write rather than the thought long held and worked and shaped.
