needles needling needlessly with little thread... or much of anything else...

(foolish dribbles to be written at uncertain times, on an irregular basis, from uncertain sections of the ever expending universe, and from whatever dimension I-We-Us-Them might find ourselves/ myself in …)

11h23 


I love reading and I love re-reading the stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer. Opening a collection of short-stories at random and starting to read whatever story there is on the page, turning the pages back to the beginning of whatever story I opened the book to. It’s always good, better than good, and it never gets old. Just re-read Logarithms from the collection The Death of Methuselah and other stories. A young man listens to his aunt tell the story of Yossele, a mathematical genius, who betrayed womankind by marrying the daughter of the gentile apothecary.

“If one lives long enough, one hears many things for the first time,” Aunt Yentl said. “Men look strong, but they are actually very weak.”
