BioOnly in silence the word,
only in dark the light,
only in dying life:
bright the hawk's flight
on the empty sky.
--Ursula K. Le Guin, "The Creation of Éa"
A lover of stories, a player of games, a writer, a thinker, a drinker of tea. I came late to the self-discovery ball and still managed to leave with a beautiful woman on each arm. To paraphrase![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
pameladean, I used to think I was monogamous and conservative, but I was wrong, or maybe I changed. I go barefoot as often as I can get away with it.
The title/subtitle combo is from "Chromatic Aberration" by the transcendent John M. Ford (RIP), who also wrote:
It is in the mystery of priests to muddy what they say,
In the speech of statesmen to prove things their way,
In the way of engineers to twist nature's forces,
It is in the nature of poets to misuse their sources.
Sometimes things hit you just right, you know?
I'm told I'm difficult to buy things for. I provide this list as a public service.

I am the cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me.
--Rudyard Kipling, "The Cat Who Walked By Himself"
