Grand narratives, small truths


Shakespeare is known to have said that all the world is a stage. Is our perception of reality is just an illusory interpretation of a carefully staged performance?


But there are ways to break out of our theatrical chains, fortunately. 


In the end, the truth in the eye of the beholder. And this note is hidden in another Eye.

Broadway: Coffee & Contemplation


It's called Caffe' bene
not as in 'good tasting coffee', but as in good coffee.
Perhaps knowingly, because coffee just generally makes things better.


having just heard Joyce Carol Oates speak of infinity within the finite, 
there were a few things to think about with the aid of a Good cup of Coffee 



Aesopian vulpes vulpes in the big Apple





A really good bookshop can be intimidating.
Even for a bibliophile.
The realization that that you will never have time to go through the sheer amount of words,
All that wisdom, just out of your reach.


As a remedy, 
A little encouraging reminder of the power of ambition

Entailing breaking the photoban and spreading a Magrittesque riddle on constructionist representation.
