This week I started reading Ursula K. Le Guin's Rocannon's World (1966). I had previously read The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas (1973), and the The Dispossessed (1974) is in progress.

Example Title from Lemmy (literature.cafe)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Now I'm crossposting from Lemmy to Mastodon, by tagging myself, @[email protected]. Lemmy's “Title” field produces, conversely, an initial separated line in the resulting toot.

Edit: But only a link to Lemmy is displayed in said toot, and not the post's “Body” field.

This is a recent poem, which is related to philosophical haiku II.

By playing we then develop,
develop to then apprehend,
apprehend what had been beyond,
soon, pragmatic means to an end.

End, truly, in understanding,
understanding what's essential,
essential as prerequisite,
as condition to make knowledge.

Knowledge to untake for granted,
granted, we were accustomed so,
so let's undeem formulations
as always following clear thoughts.

Thoughts, ideas we have of things,
things we have the need to create,
create and fully comprehend?
Very often in the same path.

Path-making by means of walking,
walking performed like a “passion”,
passion felt like a kind of urge.
The behaviour emerges thence.

I've never been much of an audiobook listener. However, the few ones I've listened to I've enjoyed very much. Excellent narration, excellent voice acting. I used to play them while cooking, and then while eating what I had just cooked. Then if I was drinking wine with the food, the experience continued, extending into the horizons of my imagination.

IIa

Stellar radiance
we sense it from our capsules
focus the mirrors.

IIb

Archaeology
interprets the ancient gate
as a future door.

IIc

Beautiful cluster
but with blood-tinged nebulae
the free roamers fly.

IId

A simulacrum
anarcho-capitalist?
Infomorphs question.

— Roberto Q. S. (2023).

Pulsations of spontaneous semiotic assertions
are galvanized by intuitive qualia translations.
Organic convexities kiss data input elongations,
as the many correlates that hide betwixt travelled corrugations
are loved by the firstborn of the leptons.

Rigorous seekings for lexical alchemy
are concurrent with flowing creative leniency.
Euclidean channels dance with boson progeny,
as the virtual quill that chisels the crystalline stele
is guided by voyages of an extensive property.

— Roberto Q. S. (2021).

more exploration.

Observing a flame
the universal process
eternal motion.

II

Humans making things
also understanding them
indivisible.

The non-Berkeleyan Mach
sits at a coffee table
in Lenin's studio.
